A campaign ad produced by the Constitution Party’s presidential nominee, Randall Terry, recently aired on national television, drawing media attention for its use of graphic imagery related to abortion during a commercial break on The View.
The ad, titled “Stupid Celebrities, Lying Journalists,” reportedly aired on national television last week. It is one of nearly a dozen 30-second spots first produced by the Terry campaign earlier this year, covering topics such as abortion, the Black community, and criticisms of the Democratic Party, among others.
“I’m so sick of stupid celebrities and lying journalists,” Terry says in the ad, which opens with a collage of prominent media figures, including Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Wolf Blitzer, Dana Bash, and Whoopi Goldberg—one of the co-hosts of The View. “Why don’t you fools follow the science?”
As Terry continues to narrate, he pivots to discussing abortion, as the collage transitions to an image of a newborn and then to depictions of aborted fetuses. He compares the celebrities shown earlier to Nazi officials Joseph Goebbels and Leni Riefenstahl, criticizing them for their views on abortion and comparing the procedure to murder. The ad then closes with a swipe at Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
Since airing, the ad has garnered national media attention, prompting discussions from some platforms about the use of Federal Communications Commission-approved political advertising as a strategic way to push messaging of certain subjects. Under current FCC regulations, broadcast stations are prohibited from “censoring or rejecting political ads that are paid for and sponsored by legally qualified candidates.”
According to Entertainment Weekly, ABC issued a warning before airing the commercial ad, stating: “The following is a paid political advertisement, and the ABC Television Network is required to carry it by federal law. The advertisement contains scenes that may be disturbing to children. Viewer discretion is advised.”
A variation of this warning was also broadcast by numerous ABC affiliates or addressed by their editorial boards, each providing similar explanations.
Previous statements from the Terry campaign indicated that the ads were partly funded with support from Republican donors seeking to influence key battleground states and potentially sway the election against then-Democratic nominee President Joe Biden. The campaign said that it also received financial backing from former Texas Congressman and Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who publicly endorsed the initiative in April.
In addition to airing on The View, the Terry campaign stated on its website that it is also attempting to run its ads on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

In time, after enough people have seen this type of graphic violence, abortions will dwindle to mostly emergency cases.
“”opens with a collage of prominent media figures, including Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish,””
Who figured those two are even close to being prominent media figures? They’re freaks, sure but certainly not media...
It’s brilliant that Terry is doing this.
BINGO!!!
