Democratic super PAC launches ad targeting Trump's 'alternative facts' on coronavirus
A Democratic super PAC is targeting President Trump’s response to the coronavirus in a new ad.
The nearly 2-minute-long digital ad, shared exclusively with The Hill on Thursday, slams some of Trump's comments about the pandemic, characterizing his remarks as "alternative facts."
The ad uses a split screen to juxtapose Trump’s comments with those made by the nation’s top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci.
“Donald Trump thinks he knows more than America's top doctors and scientists,” text from the ad reads at the start. The ad then goes on to play Trump’s clips under the heading “alternative facts,” with Fauci’s labeled “facts.”
The ad was released by Win the West, a super PAC focused on helping presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden beat Trump in November.
“The American people deserve nothing less than the truth and the facts from their President. President Trump fails these basic tasks nearly every day. That’s why the stakes for our country and the 2020 election could not be higher,” Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), a supporter of the super PAC, said in a statement Thursday.
