It looks like U.S. Representative Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) and the Alabama Farmers Federation (ALFA) will not be making nice any time soon after Brooks once again criticized their decision making in a Tuesday appearance on WVNN’s “The Dale Jackson Show.”

Brooks was asked about ALFA’s decision to back former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville over long-time U.S. Senator and former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the right to take on U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) in November.

The North Alabama congressman highlighted the differences he has had with ALFA and pointed to similar areas where ALFA might be at odds with Sessions.

Those areas of disagreement, per the congressman, are vast and include ALFA’s support for more employment-based immigration.

Brooks stated, “ALFA demands and expects from its politicians, huge taxpayer subsidies.”

He then credited ALFA as “successful at getting special privilege and special dispensations of monies from the United States Congress.”

On the latter issue, Brooks hit back at a particular request he believed drew ALFA into his primary race after he rebuffed attempts by ALFA to gain his support for taxpayer-funded capital improvement projects on private farmland.

My takeaway:

ALFA’s endorsement of Brooks’ 2020 primary opponent Chris Lewis sparked a war of words that continues to this day, and Brooks seems to believe he and Sessions’ similar records on key issues might be helping drive their decision to support Tuberville over Sessions in the race for the U.S. Senate (although it should be noted that FarmPAC endorsed Tuberville before Sessions even entered the race).
