Republican group The Lincoln Project released a new video ad slamming the cowardice of Republican senators while highlighting the bravery of peaceful Black lives Matters protesters.
The new campaign ad shows BLM demonstrators carrying signs peacefully walk past a group of armed white men during a demonstration last month in rural Crown Point, Indiana — and contrasts their courage to GOP senators fleeing reporters seeking comment about President Donald Trump’s conduct.
“Vote for courage,” the ad says.
Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen explains that Republican lawmakers have the authority to hold Trump accountable, but they refuse to do so.
“These Republicans know that Trump is unfit for office,” Galen said. “They know what he’s doing to this country is wrong. Yet they say nothing. Their continuing silence is disqualifying.”
