2. TFG Threatens Fox News With Lawsuit For Allowing 'Perverts' of Lincoln Project to Run Anti-Trump Ad

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,

This makes me smile

Former President Donald Trump continues to create business for legal professionals. Not only does he have a half-dozen legal entanglements, but he now appears to be threatening a lawsuit against Fox News for allowing political ads produced by vocal Never Trump group The Lincoln Project.

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 didn’t 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 Trump’s 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.

7. Trump Rages at Fox News For Running New Lincoln Project Ad

TFG is pissed at The Lincoln Project. "The Lincoln Project is extremely effective in getting to Trump" amuses me

Hearing Trump bragging about the number of votes he received in 2020 simply never gets old, never. It’s 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:
