The Priorities USA super PAC released a 30-second ad that juxtaposed Trump’s own pandemic statements with concurrent case counts. In response, the Trump campaign sent cease-and-desist letters to numerous TV stations – including a threat to pull their broadcast licenses – to try to keep the ad off the air.
What an absolutely brilliant campaign move.
The result was to give the ad a whole lot of media attention, tons of free air time, and, of course, a massive number of internet plays. (See: The Streisand Effect.)
Just wanted to do my bit to spread the word.
