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.

Nor do I.
I know how you feel. I’m DONE caring about the national felon league.
And there will be no minute long pro-Trump ad, as the base continues to sit on their behinds and keep their wallets closed...while the Left forks over the cash and outworks us by far. And of course, the ultimate result of this will be a loss if we don’t get our act together and soon. But, we haven’t done that for the past few election cycles and just keep taking loss after loss while our candidates are left twisting in the wind being pummeled in an onslaught, so why would this cycle be any different?
Local ad buy not on national.
I comprehended exactly what you wrote. I come from a Gold Star family - VN - the people who were scum back then are in positions of power in the Dem party today, not Donald Trump.
Hopefully, we’ll see a little investigating going on. The far-left turd rollers are famous for hiring actors during the election season.

We aren’t no thin red ‘eroes, nor we aren’t no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An’ if sometimes our conduck isn’t all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don’t grow into plaster saints;

Not even worth pirating.
They must have money to burn.
You do recall correctly. McCain, the ("brat"?) son of a paternal line of notable and esteemed admirals.
The one who, it is reported, incurred a non-combat "pilot error" aircraft loss and who admitted to a year later taking out power lines to residential areas in Spain due to "my daredevil clowning around". He didn't lose that second aircraft but caused an international incident. In both cases, he did not suffer an adverse impact to his career.
There is much controversy raised by credible sources about his time as a POW, but the record is indecisive.
“Those families are idiots and/or damned liars.”
The $$$ allowed them to believe the ad pitch -
“We’re putting this together for you”
“This add will be the biggest bouquet of flowers you could ever lay at your fallen soldiers grave”
“You’ll be paid $$$”
Along with a ton of other commercials. Yawn.
Vermont Lt
a minute-long ad enough time to dump the beer.
To All, why are you even watching a professional football game, they have all proved beyond a reasonable doubt that they hate America but just love the money!
And you suckers still pay their salaries?
That ad is nothing compared to what’s coming.
Even if one believes all the ads, how can they be ok with what is going on
Another reason NOT to have anything to do with the NFL. Nothing!
“Bored desantis/nevertrumpers”.
I’d call you a moron but that’s against the rules. But you certainly are a
troll. Just trying to figure out which Democrat you work for
Trump didn’t say that. He was referring to something else.
This group sounds just like old lefty groups from the Vietnam, Desert Storm and OIF eras.
No wonder we’re called the Stupid Party.
