The former president delivered a major blow to the Alabama Republican's campaign.
The Alabama Republican, who talked of "blood" sacrifice at Trump's Jan. 6 rally, said the account from Kevin McCarthy's ex-aide was "total bovine excrement."
"The Late Show" host tore into Mo Brooks and Paul Gosar.
The Alabama Republican told AL.com that he'd support his aides if they did help organize a "First Amendment rally to protest voter fraud and election theft."
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The Alabama Republican claims his speech that day was nothing more than "a pep talk."
The Department of Justice said the Alabama Republican's speech before the Capitol attack was "not within the scope" of his employment.
Rep. Mo Brooks, who spoke at the Trump rally before the attack, claims he did it only because the White House asked him to.
The Alabama Republican spent months evading the Capitol riot suit filed by Rep. Eric Swalwell.
A judge said Rep. Eric Swalwell could have more time to serve Rep. Mo Brooks a lawsuit, but refused to allow U.S. Marshals to aid in his quest.
The rioters “destroyed two months of debate and work,” Brooks, who now faces censure, said of his attempt to delegitimize Biden's victory.
