U.S. Senate Candidate Mo Brooks is Opposing ‘Cancel Culture’ Push to Remove Statues From the Capitol

Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL) is coming out strongly against H.R. 3005, legislation that would erase history and remove certain statues depicting American heroes who the modern radicalized Left believe had distasteful views.

Brooks, who is running in the GOP primary for U.S. Senate in Alabama, believes that H.R. 3005 is a grotesque infringement on states’ rights. He also believes it is a violation of federal law establishing the National Statuary Collection, which permitted states to “furnish statues…of deceased persons who have been citizens thereof, and illustrious for their historic renown or for distinguished civic or military services such as each State may deem to be worthy of this national commemoration.”

“The 1864 law that establishes the National Statuary Collection defers to states the power to determine who they wish to honor with a Capitol statue. And that makes perfect sense,” Brooks said in a news release issued by his Congressional office.
