Trump Sues to Block Savage Dem Super PAC Ad That Uses His Own Words About the Pandemic and They're Making Him Totally Regret It

Snip

Months ago, the campaign issued a cease and desist order against the super PAC, accusing its ad of deliberately misusing Trump's words in a deceptive manner. The campaign also sued a local television station in the swing state of Wisconsin for airing it.

The ad features the numerous times Trump dismissed the threat posed by the virus as a graph showing the number of cases continues to rise.

The Trump campaign responded to criticisms of the suit by tweeting audio of Joe Biden which had actually been edited to sound like he called the virus a hoax.

Didn't the "real" fake news (Murdoch) win a 1st Amendment lawsuit concerning their constant propaganda bullshit.

RWers, only they are entitled to the "1st Amendment". Sick MFs.

It tells the truth using Donald Trump's own words. What could be more damning? The words, the truth or the ongoing unfitness of Donald Trump, the evidence of which is all caught on video?

I'd say all three.

Tis a thing of beauty: ads writing themselves. Endlessly.
