Mo Brooks chides Trump for endorsing Luther Strange

Published August 9, 2017 12:08pm ET



Rep. Mo Brooks chided President Trump for endorsing appointed Sen. Luther Strange, his main opponent in the upcoming special Senate election in Alabama.

The primary is Tuesday, and Brooks has been struggling in a contest versus Strange and the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy Moore.

Sessions left the seat vacant when he retired to become Trump’s attorney general.
