During an appearance on "Fox News Sunday" last week, Rep. Mo Brooks made waves after he tussled with guest hostSandra Smith over the 2020 election results, repeating accusations of voter fraud that have become a rallying cry for the conservative base over the past two years.
Donald Trump used to consume programming on the network during his time in the White House.
In March, after the congressman's campaign suffered from low polling and poor fundraising, Trump withdrew his support for him in the Alabama Senate race.
According to two people with close ties to Trump, the former president was happy with the performance of the exchange.
Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist, took to the pro- Trump social media platform Gettr to applaud.
He wrote in a post that the man had finally gotten the memo.

After being written off by many observers after the Trump snub, the man who was second in the primary and held the other candidate under 50 percent in the June 21 election, is now going to face off against the winner of the race.
It's a dilemma for Trump, who could re-endorse Brooks in the Senate race, issue an endorsement for his opponent, or decline to formally support either of the two Republicans.
The preferred candidate of McConnell is the one who has been feuding with Trump since the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump spent a lot of time last year trying to oust McConnell.
According to Jon Gray, a Republican strategist in Alabama, the former president's influence would have been more beneficial if he had backed another candidate in the race.
He told the news outlet that he didn't think there was any benefit to him getting in. There is a recollection of Mo having been with the president in the past.
According to an individual close to Trump, the former president is unlikely to look the other way regarding the Alabama race, and that he could point to a potential re-endorsement ofBrooks as having taught him a lesson.
The individual said that "Mo got straight and has been very strong since"
The campaign of Trump was unable to prove any of the major claims in court.
