Rep. Mo Brooks is using President Donald Trump's critical comments about Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in an ad against Sen. Luther Strange, one of his opponents in the Alabama Republican Senate primary, The Hill reported.
The ad was released Friday by the Brooks campaign and starts off showing a tweet from Trump questioning why McConnell has not been able to repeal and replace Obamacare.
"You're absolutely right Mr. President, and Luther Strange and Mitch McConnell, they're dead wrong," Brooks said in the ad. "They have failed you on Obamacare, building the wall, balancing the budget. They fight to keep the 60 percent rule that kills your agenda. I sure don't."
The ad ends with Brooks saying: "Mr. President, isn't it time we tell McConnell and Strange: 'You're fired.'"
Trump has endorsed Strange in the Tuesday primary, The Hill reported. But Brooks has urged him to reconsider the endorsement, according to the Washington Examiner.
Former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, who claims to be the front-runner in the race, said the other candidates are "fighting for second place," The Birmingham News reported.
