“Elect me to the Senate, and I’ll fight every spending bill that doesn’t fund that wall. And if I have to filibuster on the Senate floor, I’ll even read the King James Bible until the wall is funded,” Brooks said in a Senate campaign ad. Breitbart News first reported the ad on Sunday.

Brooks threatened to go up against his Republican colleagues who are also blocking funding for the border wall.

“We’re going to build that wall, or you’ll know the name of every Republican who surrenders to the Democrats to break my filibuster. I give you my word, and I don’t give my word lightly,” he continued.

The ad, titled “Build The Wall,” also uses clips of President Trump making statements about the relationship of the U.S. and its southern neighbor, making his case for why the U.S. needs a border wall.

“President Trump promised a wall to keep us safe and to protect American jobs for American workers,” Brooks continues.
