Alabama Republican Rep. Mo Brooks today trashed Chelsea Clinton’s tweet targeting the congressman's position on pre-existing medical conditions.

Upon learning that the former first daughter had tweeted about him this morning, Brooks seemed genuinely intrigued.

“Oh, really? Chelsea? I've got a Chelsea,” Brooks said curiously in the Capitol basement, putting on his glasses to read Clinton's tweet.

“Well that is not at all what I said, and it's just another example of where people who are on the other side are so willing to make false representations,” Brooks said, explaining his struggle to rationalize insuring chain-smokers and alcoholics versus insuring someone with leukemia or diabetes.

4. Where is Brooks' spokesweasel ?

Letting him ramble on like that seems to be foolish. And I am glad the press is asking & publishing his stupidity.

I've read all the articles, even posted one on here. I cannot fathom how an entire group of people/political party is so off-the-rails stupid.

6. "Mo" Brooks? Isn't "Mo" short for Mohammed?

I'd spread that meme around. Especially in Alabama.

11. I like my "Mo" nickname interpretation better

"Mo"hammed Brooks it is for me. He would find that sufficiently irritating if that rumor got around, I'm sure.

13. I don't disagree but, "Mo" is also the nickname for a man with the name of...

Moshe/Moses

8. "Better than her mommy did"?

Let's see now...

Chelsea Clinton's mommy:
* earned her law license
* caused Walmart to hire more women as executives
* was the first woman to make partner at Arkansas' oldest law firm
* ran Children's Defense Fund
* served as First Lady of the United States
* was elected to the United States Senate
* was Secretary of State
* is a self-made millionaire
* and got the 2016 presidential election stolen from her, even though she earned three million more votes than the oversized Oompa-Loompa who moved into the White House

How in hell can you do "better"?

9. Chelsea's reply to Rep Brooks sexist rant....

....... “Well that is not at all what I said, and it's just another example of where people who are on the other side are so willing to make false representations,” Brooks said, explaining his struggle to rationalize insuring chain-smokers and alcoholics versus insuring someone with leukemia or diabetes.

“Quite frankly, Chelsea Clinton has no idea what she's talking about,” Brooks scoffed. “She's probably better to stay in the private sector if she's going to continue to utter some complete public policy nonsense.”

Brooks drew Clinton’s attention after saying people with pre-existing conditions should pay higher premiums to help offset the cost of health care. .........
