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.

I’m trying to think...if Rudy had said “if you’re thinking of voting for my opponent, you ain’t Italian...

Yeah I would have thought he was a jerk but i still would have voted for him.

Big difference as that even if Rudy wasn’t a conservative, he was a great mayor and got us through 9/11 while other politicians hid

and he was been loyal to Trump since DAY ONE

biden is garbage

Obummer is searching desperately for the right words to counter, but they haven’t been emailed to him yet.

Obama would probably say that Joe spoke stupidly.

Of course, he can deny it all he wants but his comment definitely means he expects Blacks to “toe the line” and vote for him, a democrat, just because they’re Black. Not because they considered both candidates and selected him. No, no, no! Just look at your face in the mirror, look at your arms and legs ... if they’re black, you must vote for me!

He could have been generic and said, if you are a true democrat, you could only vote for me. But, as with all liberals, he had to bring in identity politics. He got in so much trouble, they brought in Sheila JA Lee to defend him! How low can you go!

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

I guess Bammy isn’t as articulate as Biden thought.

The Democrats are not going to nominate a looser like Biden. I hope he’s got a food taster.

You didn’t build that.
You ain’t black.
What’s next?
You can’t do squat?

I’m trying to be less emotional about politics, but I really despise these loathsome people.

And there's a big business in America called "Being Black."

"Black" is a brand that moves entire industries like sports and sports apparel, art, theater/movies, music.

Being Italian is much like being from any of the other ethnic groups. Salad dressings, olive oil, a few lesser known wines, opera, and some old music like our beloved Tony Bennett.;-)

The a persistent rumor among political operatives that Trump personally invented the Rick Roll in all its many iterations (the "You Ain't Black" campaign being one example).

The difference was that Rudy was Italian.

Did you notice there’s no debate this year? The dems tremble in fear of Trump vs biden on stage, with 20 million viewers watching Trump say: “Good evening, Joe, do you know where you are and what you’re running for?”

They desperately don’t want there to be a debate. They would gladly create a recession so no one thinks about why there’s no debate.

Can’t fool me.

I still think money spent on anti Biden advertising is wasted. Maybe I’m giving the rats more credit than they deserve but how can they stick with Slo Joe. Between now and November he will have to leave his bunker and speak to the American people. I don’t think he can duck all the debates. Biden gets less coherent every day. The “Trump virus” gambit will not be successful. The democrats can not override a veto of any potential new “mail a fraud” legislation. They must have a candidate that can get within 5% of Trump. Ramped up cheating won’t net the democrats more than 5% of the vote. Obamagate leaves Big Mike radioactive. Trump would crucify Cuomo over his mass murder of seniors. It’s got to be Clinton, everyone knows she’s a crook but the Clintons are immune to such perceptions.

The Trump ad should show all those flubs and the last one he should show is the one just posted where Biden says emphatically to the host I’m going to defeat Joe Biden!
