HUNTSVILLE, Ala. A protest urging Congressman Mo Brooks to resign was held in front of his Huntsville office on Saturday.
Protesters want the Alabama congressman to resign. Brooks has said a number of controversial things during his career, but on the day of the capitol breach, he said something that drew heavy criticism.
In a speech at the Washington D.C. rally early in the day, Brooks said it was time to start "taking down names and kicking ass." Many interpreted this as language that helped incite the riots.
Members of the NAACP Alabama State Conference are also calling on Congressman Mo Brooks to resign or be expelled by his colleagues. The group along with local branches in Brooks' district made the announcement in front of his office today.

(18,636 posts)He's outlived his usefulness in Congress. There's nothing he can do for his district anymore. He's alienated himself and sealed his constituent's fate to be ignored right along with him. He's as useless as a spoiler on a Yugo.
I'll do you one better. He's as useless as a spoiler on a Trabant.

When I asked him what happened to the cow, he said "Well, it just got up and walked away."
