(16,616 posts)7. It's pretty aggressive advertising on that site
I just checked it and it opened an entire pop up ad that filled the screen, but there's an X to shut it down. Then even when you shut it down, there are three identical "banner" ads showing the same graphic as in the OP.
Really nasty. That campaign announced they were going to do this last week.

The RNC spent $10 million on a massive internet ad buy.
This tweet misrepresents the facts.

Paid for by Trump for President.
