A Republican political action committee opposed to Donald Trump is taking its message straight to some of the former presidents most loyal supporters with a new spot airing on Fox News this week.
The video from Republican Accountability PAC features Trumps own words as he egged on the mob in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021, shortly before a crowd of his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol and tried to block the certification of the 2020 election.
Trump did this, the ad declares over footage of the assault. Hell do it again. He can never be president again.
The spot also includes clips of figures such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) blaming Trump for the events of Jan. 6.
The PAC said the spot will run this week during town hall events on Fox News with Republican presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis , as well as one event featuring Trump himself.
Gunner Ramer, the PACs political director, said in a press release that Trump played a central role in Jan. 6.
He continues to deny responsibility and pushes conspiracy theories about what took place, Ramer said. We must remind voters of his contempt for the fundamental tenets of American democracy.
The organization said its hoping to reach persuadable Republicans who may be swayed by Trumps role in the attack.
