A Republican opposition group against Donald Trump is giving some of the former president’s biggest supporters an unfiltered look at the allegations against him.
While most of the right-wing cable network’s anchors have tried to justify, excuse and downplay the former president’s actions, the new ad takes some of the allegations bluntly.
“Even his allies and lawyers say it’s wrong,” the narrator notes:
“No one is above the law — not even former presidents,” the spot says.
The Republican Accountability Project said it spent nearly $500,000 to run the spot.
“Donald Trump is a unique threat to American democracy and the rule of law,” said Sarah Longwell, the group’s chief executive, in a press release. “These latest charges are just another reminder of his rampant crime. He needs to be held accountable and we are sending the message that he is not above the law.”
The Republican Accountability Project has produced videos — some aired on Fox News — attacking Trump and his supporters in Congress, particularly those who supported or condoned the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
