The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer has sent a cease and
desist letter to television stations in South Carolina demanding a commercial
by Republican super PAC, Committee to Defend the President, be taken down.
— Defend Trump (@Defend_Trump) February 26, 2020Our new ad playing in South Carolina: @JoeBiden joined segregationists, wrote a bill that disproportionately jailed African Americans, & blamed black parents for inequality. He will not represent us. pic.twitter.com/9qkiOOYn0V
“In the
interest of truth in advertising, we are calling on TV stations to take this ad
down and stop playing into the hands of bad actors who seek to sow division and
confusion among the electorate,” said Obama spokeswoman Katie Hill. “It's
clearly designed to suppress turnout among minority voters in South Carolina by
taking President Obama's voice out of context and twisting his words to mislead
viewers,” she added.
Perkins
Coie, the Democratic National Committee’s private law firm, drafted the letter
demanding stations pull the ad.
That’s the firm used by the DNC and Hillary
Clinton’s campaign to secretly pay research firm Fusion GPS and
Christopher Steele, the disgraced former British intelligence operative, to
compile a dossier of uncorroborated, utterly false raw intelligence alleging then-candidate
Donald Trump and Moscow were colluding to hijack the 2016 presidential
election.
Biden has to win South Carolina for his
failing campaign to stay alive.
Ted Harvey, Chairman of
the super PAC, issued the following statement.
“The Committee has a long history of taking on Joe Biden, beyond Nevada and
South Carolina. It took President Trump to lower black unemployment and create
jobs for the African-American community, in addition to passing criminal
justice reform. Joe Biden, on the other hand, is simply giving lip-service for
votes. That’s the point President Obama made in his book [Dreams From My
Father], and we have every right to use his own words — in his own voice — in
the political forum.”
Jug Ears’ likeness has
been used in campaign ads by Biden, billionaire Mike Bloomberg and other
Democratic presidential candidates. He did not ask any to pull their ads.
If Joe had listened to his
“good friend, Barack” when he warned,
“You don’t have to do this, Joe, you really don’t,” none of this would have
been necessary. Is that Barry’s endangered
legacy calling?
I think it is, by
golly.
