Democratic super PAC launches ad targeting Trump's 'alternative facts' on coronavirus
A Democratic super PAC is targeting President Trumps 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 Trumps comments with those made by the nations 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 Trumps clips under the heading alternative facts, with Faucis 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. Thats 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.
