Elon Musk-backed group runs Ad pressuring senators to support Hegseth
The Hill ^ | 12/09/24 6:01 PM ET | by Tara Suter -

A group previously backed by tech billionaire Elon Musk is running an advertisement pressuring senators to support President-elect Trump’s pick for Defense secretary, Pete Hegseth.

The ad, from conservative group Building America’s Future, is set to air on national television and will have a particular focus on Iowa via digital platforms. It was first reported by the Daily Caller.

“America needs a Defense secretary who knows what it means to fight and understands the price of freedom,” a voiceover says in the ad posted Friday to social platform X.

The ad, which is costing Building America’s Future $500,000, features photos and a video clip of Hegseth, and calls him “a patriot, a decorated combat veteran and a warrior who will stop at nothing to keep America safe.” It ends with a push from the narrator to contact “your senator today and urge them to confirm Pete Hegseth for secretary of Defense.”

Isn't it nice to have the world's richest man in your corner! He's also bankrolling the GOP!

If you're a GOP senator you'd do well to adhere to his wishes.

I know some Freepers don't like the idea of someone like this bankrolling everything and I dont know how long it'll last but I think he's a benign force (Thank heavens).

It's not like he's Gates or Soros level-type evil.

It’s working, bases on how the whorebag Ernst has changed her tune.

Now if we can just keep Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowsky on the leash...

But it is hard to convert Assistant Democrats.

The RATS have been doing this for 30 years.
It took Musk joining the team to finally make it happen for the GOP

And this is why I did not want Hogan to win in Maryland. A male addition to the weak sisters of the Senate, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Joni Ernst, and Lindsey Graham.

No thanks.

The first thing the senators need to ask of them selves is what the hell do they know about defense security besides how to make a buck off it.

Bitch is mad that she wasn’t picked for DOD - she better be very careful as she’s heading in Liz Cheney territory.
