Maya Angelou once said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., who is currently running to replace retiring Richard Shelby in the U.S. Senate, has done that time and time again. Most recently, Brooks said the redistricting process should leave “skin pigmentation” out of it.
Brooks’ comments came after a three-judge federal panel ruled that Alabama’s legislature must redraw its congressional maps to include two majority-minority districts. The U.S. Supreme Court has since issued a stay on the maps and will hear the case in fall 2022.
