Obama Demands All South Carolina TV Stations Pull Ads Against Biden

Former President Obama's attorneys say they plan to file a cease-and-desist letter over a pro-Trump group's television ad in South Carolina that attacks former Vice President Joe Biden by using a portion of Obama's book
Obama is also demanding that all South Carolina television stations immediately stop running the ad from the Committee to Defend the President, which is aimed at supporting President Trump's reelection bid.
The ad uses excerpts from Obama's 1995 memoir, "Dreams from My Father," in an effort to get the attention of black voters in the state.
"Joe Biden promised to help our community. It was a lie. Here's President Obama," the ad says at the beginning.
It then uses a passage from Obama describing how the black community had been wrongfully treated in the past.
"Plantation politics. Black people in the worst jobs. The worst housing. Police brutality rampant. But when the so-called black committeemen came around election time, we'd all line up and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Sell our souls for a Christmas turkey," Obama says in the recording.
"This spot is a fraudulent use of President Obama's voice," Obama senior adviser Eric Schultz told CNN

Why is the Trump campaign wasting money on anti Biden ads? It is a pro-trump group not the Trump campaign.
And what he said applies to all democrats not just slow joe.

The quotes in the ad are NOT Obola talking about Quid Pro Joe, but another politician.
But your misrepresentation of my post is noted.

"Oh, well, if Obama says do it, it must be done." Unfortunately his pen has run out of ink and his phone has run out of minutes.

Thank you, bammy, for getting the word out to Americans about what you said about biden. PS, why don’t you go to iran where you will be worshiped as a god for what you did to help them promote terrorism.

Look at a lot of these comments. The internet has ruined society.
Nobody cares about actual happenings anymore.
The only thing that’s important is to be the “ONE WHO IS RIGHT” and to inform everyone of that, ad infinitum.
This malady runs rampant everywhere.
Get over yourselves.
