Team Trump plans $1M ad blitz after Biden's 'you ain't black' stumble
Politico via MSN ^ | 5/23/20 | Alex Isenstadt

Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is launching a $1 million digital ad blitz aimed at capitalizing on Joe Biden’s inflammatory remark that African American voters “ain’t black” if they’re considering voting for the president.

The Trump campaign is planning to run a video montage highlighting Biden’s Friday morning comment on “The Breakfast Club,” a popular black radio program. It will also air an ad focusing on Biden’s support for the 1994 crime bill which, the ad says, resulted in mass incarceration and “destroyed millions of black lives.”

Biden set off a firestorm Friday morning when he told the program’s co-host, Charlamagne tha God, that “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

The former vice president later apologized during a call with black community leaders, saying that “perhaps I was much too cavalier."

"I know that the comments have come off like I was taking the African American vote for granted. But nothing could be further for the truth. I've never ever done that and I've earned it every time I've run,” he added.

The Trump reelection effort immediately moved to take advantage of Biden’s remark. The campaign hosted a press call with adviser Katrina Pierson and South Carolina Tim Scott, began selling a “#YouAintBlack” t-shirt, and launched a website highlighting Biden’s comments.

October 2020 is going to be epic. The media can’t save Biden there is so much material to use against Biden and the Democrats have nothing after 5 years. Trump is a great man and it shows that he loves Americans.

They need to save the “blitz” for now. If it gets too hot, Biden will be removed, and we can’t have that. He has to be the drooling pervy candidate with the garish face. Once that’s settled, then let the Trump blitz begin.

Stumble? I can only imagine the adjectives the media would use if Trump had made a similar statement.


Consider the reaction to Trump’s asking blacks “What have you got to lose?”

Here's news for you - not only is there going to be a debate, but crazy bug-eyed #GropinJoe is actually being told by his advisors to physically confront Trump!
