Liberal super PAC to run digital ads slamming Trump over Medicare comments
American Bridge, a liberal super PAC, is launching a series of digital ads criticizing President Trump's recent comments indicating he would be open to cutting entitlement programs in the future.
Starting Friday, the digital ads will run in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania — all key battleground states that Trump won in 2016.
“Donald Trump made it clear this week that he’d put Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block, jeopardizing the livelihoods of countless seniors,” Shripal Shah, the vice president of American Bridge, said in a statement.
“This raises the stakes even higher for hard-working Americans, and why we’re going to remind them that Donald Trump’s attacks on these critical, hard-earned benefits are a complete betrayal of the very people he promised to help," he added.
Trump said on Wednesday during an interview with CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that he would "take a look at" rolling back entitlements "at the right time."
Democrats were quick to lambast the president over his comment.
"The president promised that unlike other Republicans, he wouldn't touch Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare," said Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).
