Joey Russ 7,263 Posted July 24, 2020 If you told me that Michael Brooks would’ve gotten a QO late last year I would’ve been surprised as I thought he was just known in the leftie circles I’m in. But he ended up trending very high in the US when he died, and he must’ve gotten enough tweets for the clickbait UK articles to take note. So as I said, definitely take note for the future...
