Mo Brooks Talks Like Steve King!

Rep. Mo Brooks is the Steve King of the South.
Alabama lawmaker is just as bad as Rep. Steve King (R-IA).

About 96% of the Republican Party's current representation is white. There are only a handful of members who are Jewish, Hispanic, African American and women. Of the current U.S. House Representatives, there are only 13 women. Of the current U.S. Senate there are eight women.

Okay, Alabama congressman Morris Jackson Brooks, Jr. of Alabama is practically getting away with racially offensive and Islamophobic remarks. While the Republican Party and Donald J. Trump continue to demonize "The Squad," they continue to allow Brooks and King speak on behalf of them.

Brooks, a lawmaker from the 5th Congressional District of Alabama has been known to say things that no one within the party condemns.

He lives Huntsville and is a total embarrassment.

He still wins the district despite being a total douchebag.

Appearing on local radio station in Alabama, Brooks decided to make a false claim about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). The two lawmakers were banned from entry to Israel this month due to their support of the BDS Movement.

The lawmaker weighed in on the controversy by claiming that the two are becoming the "face of the Democratic Party."

He said that the once-bipartisan support of Israel is being tested by far-left extremists who share anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish themes.

"There, of course, is a lot of controversy," said Brooks. "Ususally, there is not much controversy with respect to Israel. Usually, the United States Congress is overwhelmingly close to 100%, if not 100%, in support of recognizing Israel as a long-term American ally, and that we have a mutual defense relationship. Unfortunately, we now have people in the United States Congress who view Israel as an enemy, and that makes for an entirely different mix of conversation."

He cited the two women's Muslim faith as a reason to why he's certified bigot himself.

"There is, and I think it's based on the growing influence of the Islamic religion in the Democratic Party ranks," he said. "Keep in mind -- Muslims more so than most people have great animosity towards Israel and the Jewish faith. And as you have more and more Muslims in the United States, as they gain greater and greater influence in elections, particularly in Democratic Party primaries --- then you're going to see more and more people like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and company that are anti-Israel, and that brings an entirely different viewpoint into the United States Congress."

"I think you're going to see this influence in the Democratic Party grow and grow and grow over time but ultimately become the dominant influence within the Democratic Party, where the Democratic Party will become very strongly anti-Jewish and anti-Israel," Brooks added.
We will not be silence against injustices.
What he said right there is a troupe. He is equating American Jews with the state of Israel. He is saying that Jews have dual loyalty to the United States and Israel. That is completely false.

See this is why it's frustrating to deal with lawmakers like this. He is completely ignorant of what's going on in the Middle East.

Donald J. Trump is causing so much tension. He called upon Benjamin Netanyahu to impose a ban on two U.S. lawmakers who wanted to visit the West Bank. No one is allowed to visit the Gaza Strip.

Israel has control over the lives of people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. They have stripped the Gaza Strip of goods and impose a military barrier around the region. People who stray near the barrier are often shot or pelted with Israeli lethal nerve gas. The Israeli government is continuing violations by building settlements in the West Bank. They are building walls around the settlements and completely forcing West Bank civilians to have mandatory restrictions when entering Israel.

Tlaib, who is American-born has a grandmother in the West Bank. She was granted a "humanitarian" visit on the grounds she was not allowed to tour the region and speak about the BDS movement.

She refused the offer.

Ilhan Omar who is facing birther and false claims frequently by the far-white is a Somali-American lawmaker who rose to fame as being the first Muslim woman elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives as a member of the Democratic-Farmer Party. She succeeded fellow Muslim lawmaker Keith Ellison who later became the Attorney General of Minnesota.

Omar and Tlaib as well as Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are the three Muslim lawmakers in Congress.

Carson doesn't speak out against injustices as much but he is in solidarity with the two.

Brooks, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) have been the most vocal opponents of Omar and Tlaib. They are openly Islamophobic and no one is condemning them for inciting hatred towards people who practice a religion different from theirs.

Brooks is a Southern Baptist. Zeldin is a Jewish Republican. Cheney is the daughter of Dick Cheney and a Protestant Christian.

Why can they get away with saying hateful things?

Side note: Brooks should have been denied entry into Israel. He read passages of the Mein Kampf on the House floor in attempt to undermine Omar.

When Omar tweeted criticism of AIPAC and the lobbyist group's money peddling to Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike condemned her. The Democratic House leadership forced her to apologize for that.
