We need someone to get ready to take out this Jones dimocommiecrat that recently won the Alabama seat. We need someone strong to get ready to take him on in the next election so that we do not have a dimocommie in that seat. It is a damned shame that this state stooped so low as to put the first dimocrat in office in many a decade. We must have a strong person to take him on. They will probably put Strange back up again. Mo Brooks ran a strong campaign against Moore. But, I heard Brooks had cancer. Don’t know what kind or seriousness of it.
Washington (CNN)Rep. Mo Brooks, who lost to Roy Moore in Alabama's GOP Senate primary, announced Wednesday he has prostate cancer and that losing the race "may have saved" his life.
Speaking from the House floor, Brooks said that he learned of his "high risk" prostate cancer in October. Appearing to hold back tears, the congressman talked about the night he called his wife to tell her the prognosis, when she was handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, and called it "one of loneliest nights apart in our 41-year marriage."
During his speech on the floor, Brooks said he had a "very good cure prognosis" and hoped to return to Washington following the recess next year. He said he will undergo surgery this Friday and a post-surgery medical procedure on December 20.
Brooks pushed his colleagues to take care of themselves and get regular cancer screenings.
"Don't ever ever take your health or family for granted," he said. "During the holidays enjoy your family because no one, no one is promised tomorrow."
