CNN, MS NOW See a Taxpayer-Paid Trump Ad and Cry Kim Jong Un and 'Communism'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

President Trump shouldn’t be putting recycled campaign ads on the air paid for by the taxpayers. The spot that aired this weekend is the same core video from a 2024 Trump campaign ad.

That is the record. Morning Joe and CNN This Morning treated it with their usual paranoia as a border crossing into dictatorship.

Joe Scarborough saw the tag and found Viktor Orbán and Vladimir Putin.

“When I saw, at the end of that ad, paid for the U.S. government, that was such an Orban, Putin move.”

Scarborough couldn't resist descending into his trademark hyperbole: “This is socialism! This is communism!" It's a little bizarre to proclaim it's "communist" to air an ad saying we will defeat the communists.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

I hope the ad was a warning of things to come. We’ll see what happens as the GOAT likes to say

He is our president and is free to run informational communication at government expense.

Nicholas Fondacaro 09/28 X post:

“Electioneering is a violation of ABC’s broadcast license.
ABC News program The View tells viewers in FL-27 to “go vote” for Democrat Eliott Rodriguez over Republican Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar:

“So, anybody who lives in Coral Gables, in Miami, in Key Biscayne, in downtown Miami, pay attention to that race and go vote because it’s going matter. And we can actually knock this woman out. There’s a great guy running, his name is Elliott Rodriguez. Give him a look.”

I don’t remember any of them saying a word when Obama did the same.

Something tells me it has happened before.

But no one bothered to point it out.

Wait. Did he say it like Socialism and Communism are bad things? And, more importantly, what the hell is that on the back Mika’s laptop?

I thought RTNOW was boycotting coverage of Trump. Make up your damn double-minds.

This is what sparked the craze by getting cozy with Kim.
