Rep. Mo Brooks, the leading Republican contender for Senate in Alabama, is expressing empathy for the suspect who was arrested after the person allegedly threatened to detonate multiple explosives on Capitol Hill.
Brooks is favored to win the nomination and succeed retiring Republican Sen. Richard Shelby on the strength of former President Donald Trump’s endorsement. But the congressman’s prepared statement on North Carolina resident Floyd Ray Roseberry, who surrendered to Capitol Police after a five-hour standoff, could become fodder for his opponents in the GOP Senate primary.
