GOP to spend more than $1 million on ads praising Trump's coronavirus response

[RandySF]

The Republican National Committee (RNC) is spending more than $1 million on a digital ad campaign lauding President Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The RNC’s ad blitz is set to launch on Monday and will continue through May 4. The goal is to target independent voters and moderate Democrats in more than a dozen battleground states who the RNC has identified as swing voters.

The seven-figure investment comes as Trump has faced an onslaught of criticism over his handling of the outbreak from liberal groups, which have dropped millions of dollars on ads targeting the president.

The largest Democratic super PAC, Priorities USA, last month launched a $6 million ad blitz in four critical swing states — Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — hitting the president over his early response to the coronavirus outbreak and praising former Vice President Joe Biden as “better prepared” to take on such a challenge as president.

8. D-T!....D-T!....D-T!

At this moment the entire group of people broke into a deep, slow, rhythmic chant of 'B-B! ... B-B! ... B-B!'—over and over again, very slowly, with a long pause between the first 'B' and the second—a heavy murmurous sound, somehow curiously savage, in the background of which one seemed to hear the stamps of naked feet and the throbbing of tom-toms. For perhaps as much as thirty seconds they kept it up. It was a refrain that was often heard in moments of overwhelming emotion. Partly it was a sort of hymn to the wisdom and majesty of Big Brother, but still more it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise.[3]

10. .....3 words said by Trump are all we need, "It's a hoax"

..The leader of the U.S. made a statement that was a lie, total and complete.

"There’s no question that the president described the disease as the Democrats’ “new hoax” at a political rally on Feb. 28 in South Carolina."

Democratic presidential candidates harshly criticized President Donald Trump for using the term “hoax” in connection with the coronavirus outbreak. There’s no question that the president described the disease as the Democrats’ “new hoax” at a political rally on Feb. 28 in South Carolina.

But the following day, after the death of the first American from coronavirus in Washington state, Trump said that when he used the word “hoax,” he was referring to Democrats finding fault with his administration’s response to coronavirus, not the virus itself.
