The Lincoln Project has pissed off TFG. The Lincoln Project runs these ads on Fox News in the markets where TFG is then living. This tactic is pissing off TFG,

Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social to call out Fox News after he ostensibly saw an anti-Trump ad on the network, which he continually criticizes yet still tunes into!
.....A screenshot of said posting:

Trump appears to also be calling out former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has since left office and joined the board of Fox Corporation. He has, however, zero operational or programming oversight over Fox News.
Moreover, Fox News didnt even sell a national advertising spot to The Lincoln Project, as the political advocacy group often makes local ad buys through cable providers in, say, Palm Beach or Bedminster, New Jersey. Update: Lincoln Project confirms that the ad that raised Trumps ire ran on cable news in Bedminster, NJ, where Trump is currently residing. Fox News also confirmed to Mediaite that this was a local buy and they did not run a Lincoln Project ad.

(9,154 posts)They're telling us that best "the white race" can offer is a bloated, lying, quasi-literate con artist sociopath "reality TV star," a twice impeached and two-time loser of the popular vote who had to pay a porn star for what she describes as boring sex.
While the man they love to hate because of his darker skin is an accomplished scholar, a brilliant writer and orator, never indicted, never bankrupt, never impeached, a Nobel Prize recipient and two-time winner of the popular vote--not to mention stunningly handsome and gorgeously buff to boot!
Not that looks should be the arbiter here, but since they're the ones always commenting on appearance, it just adds to the irony.
Hair Furor: yet another compelling argument against the myth of white supremacy.

Hearing Trump bragging about the number of votes he received in 2020 simply never gets old, never. Its almost like he met with people before the election to fix the number of total votes needed, spread through various states, and decided that 75 million was more than enough, only to get tripped up by easier voting.
Regardless, the Lincoln Project is a somewhat controversial topic on the Left. Some liberals believe that the Lincoln Project is simply grifting off Left hatred and largesse. Perhaps so. hard to know. But we can be certain that their hatred and fear of Trump is deeply sincere; all doubts were removed when they pledged to root them all out, any Republican who supported Trump.
The other thing is, love them or hate them, the Lincoln Project is extremely effective in getting to Trump.
Here they take a lap over doing it, again:
