Trump campaign releases ad accusing Democrats of carrying out a 'coup'

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump's reelection campaign released a new advertisement on Wednesday accusing Democrats of carrying out a "coup," shortly after the president himself made a similar accusation amid the Democrats' impeachment inquiry.

"Democrats are trying to undo the election regardless of facts, attacking the president by any means necessary, fabricating evidence," a narrator says in the advertisement. "It's nothing short of a coup, and it must be stopped."

The spot is flanked with video of high-profile Democratic lawmakers including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.).

Video of Democratic presidential hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden is shown as the advertisement finishes.

1. Ah, no wonder he spelled "coup" correctly.

He had prompting.

4. Impeachment is not a coup, Donald

Please consult a dictionary. Also, if we were trying to "undo" the 2016 election result, wouldn't we be trying to install Hillary Clinton as president? Impeachment is the constitutional remedy for removing an unfit government official. Check with your lawyer about that, because you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

5. Oh, there is a coup. He is right.

But it is in the White House, right now and in progress.

Stop the coup!
