Liberal super PAC American Bridge 21st Century is running down the list of Republican Senators who have thrown their weight behind presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump and queuing up the attack ads.
First the group attacked Ohio Senator Rob Portman, and now it is setting its sights on Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson.
“The Ronald and The Donald” starts off with Johnson announcing, “I certainly will endorse the Republican nominee and obviously that looks like that will be Mr. Trump.”
The spot flips between clips of Trump’s controversial statements and Johnson reinforcing his support for the presidential candidate. Even after violence broke out at Trump’s rallies, Johnson is quoted, “He’s certainly tapping into the public’s anger, and I certainly share that.”
And similar to the ending of the Rob Portman ad, instead of the two high fiving, American Bridge has Photoshopped a Make America Great Again hat on top of the Wisconsin Senator.
American Bridge is running this ad on social media throughout Wisconsin, hoping to give Feingold more of an edge in the contested election.
