The Republican congressman responded to backlash from colleagues and civilians in a statement issued Tuesday.

Amid national fallout from the rally and subsequent assault on the U.S. Capitol, Brooks issuedTuesday refuting criticism of his character. In an effort to do that, the Alabama congressman cited his history of abstinence from mind-altering substances and clean driving record, describing himself as a"straight arrow or a 'square.'"

"I have never smoked tobacco. I don't consume alcohol. I have never taken illegal drugs," the statement continued."I have never been accused or convicted of any felonies or misdemeanors. In half a century of driving, I have never had a DUI, a reckless driving ticket or even a speeding ticket. I did once misjudge a traffic light and deservedly got a ticket, but that is it."

Immediately preceding Wednesday's riot, the congressman told an enormous crowd of Trump's followers that"today is then day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass" in his remarks during the"Save America" rally.

Extensive qualifications to work on the Capitol, Mo! mobrooksforsen

Well mobrooksforsen, most of the Germans who supported Hitler were “good” Christian people who had clean driving licenses, were temperate in use of alcohol, were pro lawandorder and were told that they were defending their country from “evil socialism”! Remind you of anything

Wut?

Then he can drive himself into resignation, especially without the worry that any drug (I assume he meant the illegal ones) affect his judgement.

He may want to reconsider his lack of drug use, because I suspect his life is about to get awfully ugly.

Really bringing out the highlight reel there Mo

Waiting to see if these three were involved:

Insanity defense angle

Mo can drive himself to his care home. Goodbye.
