President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is threatening legal action against local TV stations in Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin action if they don’t pull a Democratic anti-Trump commercial the campaign says is false.

Priorities USA Action Fund responded by soliciting financial contributions to keep the 30-second ad on the airwaves.

The campaign says the commercial includes the “false assertion” that Trump called the coronavirus a “hoax.” The ad strings together audio of comments by Trump, including of him saying “this is their new hoax.”

Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are among states where Trump is spending heavily to win reelection.

Simply put the Democrats will say anything. Mostly untrue. To beat back President Trump. But he was elected
by Americans, he continues to help Americans.

This is not “untrue”. He did call it a hoax. For months.

Facts are facts. I don’t need CNN or anything except my own eyes and ears to know that Trump is a dumb piece of shit.

Yes, Ron, facts are facts. So, if you have been paying attention, he did not call the virus a hoax he called the impeachment a hoax. And it sounds like you are getting a little defensive? Reading the comments, seems like this started with mature opinions. I have a sixteen year old that holds himself as more of an adult than is sounds like you do.
