Kristol-backed group releases ad showing GOP voters blasting Trump over coronavirus response

An anti-President Trump group of Republicans released a new ad showing GOP voters across the country attacking the president over his response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The video ad, released by Republicans for the Rule of Law on Friday, features GOP voters in critical states in the 2020 presidential election, including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona, criticizing Trump.

"Even though I've been a Republican all my life, I can't support Trump, and his response to the coronavirus is exactly why. He told us this infection would just go away, even as it ripped across other countries," the voters say in the ad.

"He's been lying to us about available testing. He has squandered the one advantage that America had: time to prepare. He says he puts America first, but it's clear he only knows how to put Trump first. This is a crisis, and we need real leadership. Donald Trump is incapable of it," they continue.

primarily to us.

My family were pretty much all Republicans, but they lived through WWII, or fought in it, and adored Ike. I can't imagine any of them, even the Reagan voters, putting up with this shithole.

At least then we will have people in charge that know what the hell they are doing.

...also earlier was a post about 86% of Rs approving of how DOLTUS is handling CV.
So, this ad seems more to make folks like us happy, then to change the minds of the cult.

I think it's a pretty good ad, and could be seen by doubtful Republicans as "permission" to stop supporting Trump. No alternative to Trump is offered, but maybe that's supposed to be left up to the individual Republican.
