Brad Parscale: Trump team used Facebook to help win the White House
Brad Parscale: Trump team used Facebook to help win the White House
4:41 PM ET Mon, 9 Oct 2017 | 00:49
The Trump campaign's digital director credits Facebook in helping to fuel the president's surprising win last November.
In an interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday, Brad Parscale said Facebook "was the method" for President Donald Trump's stunning rise to the White House. Parscale, who spearheaded the small Trump campaign team's digital and fundraising efforts, contended that the team took advantage of Facebook in a way Democrat Hillary Clinton's campaign did not.
"Facebook now lets you get to places and places possibly that you would never go with TV ads," Parscale, web director at San Antonio-based marketing and design firm Giles Parscale, told CBS. "Now, I can find, you know, 15 people in the Florida Panhandle that I would never buy a TV commercial for. And, we took opportunities that I think the other side didn't."
He pointed to the Trump campaign having Facebook employees "embedded inside our offices" to explain how to use the platform to target voters. Parscale wanted Trump-supporting Facebook employees to offer guidance, and the company already had divisions "set up" by political affiliation, he said.
Parscale said he "heard" Clinton's campaign got the same offer but did not accept it.
In a statement, Facebook said it offered the campaigns "identical support" and had teams assigned to both Trump and Clinton. "Everyone had access to the same tools," the company said, adding that it did not let campaigns "hand pick" employees or assign its workers full time to Trump or Clinton.

Yeah. He doesnt realize the damage he just did to them. Or he's insidiously clever that way.

Translation: Bannon gets no credit and Eric and Jared were the ones who conspired with Russia

Out of context, this reads a lot different than Brad's Twitter feed. Show the rest!

Earlier articles noted that the Trumps did not trust Pence because he was not blood (family).

Parscale might be the link between Putin and Jones/Breitbart coordinating their activities. nt.
