With the presidential primary season now underway, the season of political campaign ads is also in full swing. On Sunday, some football fans in Pennsylvania watching the NFL playoff game between the Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers will see a minute-long ad attacking Donald Trump as he seeks a third Republican nomination for president.
Made by VoteVets, a progressive political action committee that advocates for veterans and military families, the ad criticizes Trump for past comments where he disparaged veterans and soldiers. The ad includes quotes attributed to Trump where he called fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers.”
The segment features three Gold Star family members naming their children and stepchildren killed in action in Iraq and Afghanistan. “My son is not a loser,” one mother says.
Later, she says, “My message to Donald Trump is this: You have no right. You’re the real loser here.”
In a tweet posted Friday announcing the ad, VoteVets said, "These Gold Star Families are standing up, and their message clear: Valor and sacrifice are beyond Trump's understanding.”
According to The Hill, the “six-figure ad buy” will play in the Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Harrisburg areas. President Joe Biden won the battleground state of Pennsylvania, a key state for any presidential candidate seeking to win in November, by 80,555 votes in the 2020 election. The Keystone State holds its presidential primary election on April 23.

This is sounding more and more like a CCP event.
Maybe the stadium exists will be barred.

Just for perspective:
“Hogan Gidley, who is currently the Trump campaign’s national press secretary, traveled with the president during the trip to France as deputy White House press secretary. In a phone interview, Gidley denied the report.
“That is a disgusting grotesque lie. I was there. The president never said that. And he would never even think such a vile thought because I know from firsthand knowledge that the president absolutely loves, respects, and reveres the brave men and women of the U.S. military,” Gidley told CBS News.
He also slammed the anonymous sources cited in the report, saying, “These weak, pathetic, cowardly sources, with no firsthand knowledge, do not have the courage nor the decency to put their name to that false accusation because they know how completely ludicrous it is.”

Ree ReEEee ReEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Can pro Trump ads be run?
And what’s this “progressive” political committee? They’re left wing.
And the Black National Anthem will be performed.
Screw the Super Bowl. I could not care less, anyway.
These assclowns do NOT speak for this VET!
Why would a veterans group be against the first president in generations NOT to start a new war?
Cindy sheehan types love playing the part of useful idiot. I think it’s a self righteous dopamine high for them.
What nasty liars...Trump is loved by the military...
Using their dead kids for political gain....What losers.
And all these stupid azz sports geeks support all that anti-American bull s**t.
VoteVets
Clown show “progressive” group that raises millions and spends pennys on real Vet issues.
They should be required by Truth In Advertising to admit they have nothing to do with Vets at all.
This, too, will blow up in their faces.
Veterans shouldn’t be considered revered saints. Myself, I kinda gag hearing the almost obligatory “thank you for your service” line.
I don't see why Trump can't ask service members about their motivation to join, "what's in it for you?"
I’ve never watched a football game in my life. BUT I could be tempted this time to see how the crowd reacts to the ad. Could be interesting.
OK, clearly you have a cognitive issue.
My statement was merely that there were several different sources of these stories. I made no comment other than the sources were available and you could make up your own mind.
You are so fast to attack, your mind did not have time to comprehend what I wrote.
And…I haven’t lived in Vermont for 40 years. So…nice try.
Slow down next time.
But I thought Nikki was going to be the nominee. That means they are wasting money attacking Donald Trump. /S
Or you can take the word of board desantis supporters/nevertrumpers that want to keep Trump from being re-elected...
Because to many of them, any dem is going to be better than having Trump in office again, right?
Probably funded by a front group of Indivisible, reported in Breitbart as an umbrella wacko left group intent on winning it all and funded by leftist billionaires, among other sketchy sources. Money talks, and the NFL listens.
Could money be involved?
