In a recent interview with Newsmax TV’s “Stinchfield,” U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville) raised concerns over Democrats’ reported proposal regarding public housing in their “Build Back Better” reconciliation bill.
Regarding President Joe Biden’s proposed framework of the legislation, the White House asserted that its goal through “incentivizing state and local zoning reforms” and various financial incentives was an effort to pave the way for “more equitable communities.”
Brooks suggested that the measure would hold significant repercussions for neighborhoods across the country.
“Well, it is a continuation of the socialist march on America – keeping in mind that socialism is amoral, it is evil, it is dictatorial, and it the elimination of our liberty and freedom. And this is a part of the Democrat scheme to takeover America using every single weapon that they have at their disposal,” the congressman proclaimed.
“In this instance, you very well described what they’re trying to do to urban and suburban areas across the United States of America,” Brooks told the Newsmax host. “They are trying to destroy a lot of these nice neighborhoods that people have worked their whole lives to be able to live in by putting up high rises for public housing with all of the adverse effects that come with that public housing.”
The Socialist Democrats are marching on America. They seek to undermine the principles that have combined to make America the greatest nation in world history. I joined @stinchfield1776 and my colleague @RepPatFallon to discuss why we must fight back. pic.twitter.com/tEH0878Oer

Brooks advised that if Democrats emerged successful in passing the proposal, property values would decline as a result.
He continued, “And when they do that, they’re going to be destroying neighborhoods. They’re going to be hurting people who have worked so hard to earn the money to be able to afford those nice homes, those nice yards. It’s going to depress those property values. And it’s just a part of what they’re doing across the United States of America in so many different ways. We’re in a political war, and we need to stop them.”
The segment’s conversation later turned to the infrastructure package Democrats successfully passed through Congress earlier this week. Moderate Republicans from both chambers joined their Democratic colleagues in scoring the legislative victory for the Biden administration, something to which the North Alabama congressman took exception.
“These 32 gave a gift to dictatorial socialism and its march on America, and in so doing, they betrayed the very voters who sent them to Washington, D.C., to represent our foundational principles that have combined to make America the greatest nation in world history,” Brooks declared.
The president reportedly intends to sign the recently passed infrastructure bill into law next week. Congressional Democrats have now shifted their efforts to passing the “Build Back Better” spending package, which is widely seen as a major priority of the Biden administration.
