In a move they probably never saw coming, The Lincoln Project – a Never Trump organization – was dinged by Facebook for promoting “partly false information”.
The group’s ad titled “Mourning In America”, a play on Reagan’s “Morning in America” ad, leads off with “Today, more than 60,000 Americans have died from a deadly virus Donald Trump ignored. With the economy in shambles, more than 26 million Americans are out of work. The worst economy in decades.”
The ad goes on to accuse Trump f bailing out Wall Street but not “main street” and say Americans have given up hope.
Full Ad:
Shortly after the ad was released the Trump campaign responded by saying “The Lincoln Project Losers Are Scam Artists” and Facebook put a warning label on the group’s ad for pedaling “partly false information”.
The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson sent out an email to the group’s supporters saying they’ve been censored.
Wilson ironically ended their email pleading for money to take “this fight directly to Trump and the people – and social media giants – that prop him up.
Trump has publicly nuked the group on Twitter:
Most of the money raised by the RINO losers of the so-called “Lincoln Project”, goes into their own pockets. With what I’ve done on Judges, Taxes, Regulations, Healthcare, the Military, Vets (Choice!) & protecting our great 2A, they should love Trump. Problem is, I BEAT THEM ALL!

….get even for all of their many failures. You see, these loser types don’t care about 252 new Federal Judges, 2 great Supreme Court Justices, a rebuilt military, a protected 2nd Amendment, biggest EVER Tax & Regulation cuts, and much more. I didn’t use any of them….

….lost for Evan “McMuffin” McMullin (to me). Steve Schmidt & Reed Galvin lost for John McCain, Romney’s campaign manager (?) lost big to “O”, & Jennifer Horn got thrown out of the New Hampshire Republican Party. They’re all LOSERS, but Abe Lincoln, Republican, is all smiles!
