Obama Demands All South Carolina TV Stations Pull Ads Against Biden
thehill.com ^ | 02/26/20

Posted on 02/26/2020 8:09:21 PM PST by Helicondelta

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

It’s not the Trump campaign...it’s an outside group.

This is an outside group and has nothing to do with the Trump campaign.

Imagine that! Zero slipping into that Southern-twinged, black speech inflection.
Duplicitous sumbitch...

Keep the heat on ‘em, Mr. President.

“Why is the Trump campaign wasting money on anti Biden ads?”

Nothing else is being done to Quid Pro by anyone else in retribution against his crimes.

I’m happy when Trump attacks our domestic enemies.

Excellent analogy.

And that particular pig is in no position to demand anything anymore.

Trump should subpoena Bill Ayers and ask him under oath if he ghostwrote the book.

Having a senior moment, I couldn’t recall the term “fair use”

You are correct.

Then by the time the lawyering is over, the commercial will no longer be relevant because the voting is over

Ask not for whom the Prez trolls!

He trolls for thee!

( President Trump has taken up residence in Obama’s head.....and now Obama is about to destroy himself and his treasonous legacy of weaponizing federal agencies against President Trump and the people.)

Yet here in TX we have been bombarded with political ads from the Left on how Trump is worse than cancer.

Get over yourself, Barry

South Carolina, Joe Biden Can’t Be Trusted

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Eminently view-able and very significant.

This is exactly the way to destroy Obama’s treasonous legacy, and also the way to make sure the weaponizing of federal agencies against the President and the electorate never happens again.

No wonder Obama is howling and calling his lawyers. Its right on target. And now President Trump has talen up residence inside Obama’s head, Obama will now commence destroying himself. The next question is how do we get Val Jar howling as well.

The president and his PACs are master trollers. They did a great job on this one.I look forward to a lot more.

Thanks for the video link. I searched but couldn’t find it either but you did!

“Why are they wasting their money? Joe’s not going to be the nominee.”

No, but once blacks see the ad, and if it goes national we can assume that a percentage of black voters will leave the plantation and go Republican.
