3. TFG Threatens Fox News With Lawsuit For Allowing 'Perverts' of Lincoln Project to Run Anti-Trump Ad
Thu Sep 8, 2022, 10:42 AM
Sep 2022

The Lincoln Project has pissed off TFG. The Lincoln Project runs these ads on Fox News in the markets where TFG is then living. This tactic is pissing off TFG,

This makes me smile



https://www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-threatens-fox-news-with-lawsuit-for-allowing-perverts-of-lincoln-project-to-run-anti-trump-ads-see-you-all-in-court/

Former President Donald Trump continues to create business for legal professionals. Not only does he have a half-dozen legal entanglements, but he now appears to be threatening a lawsuit against Fox News for allowing political ads produced by vocal Never Trump group The Lincoln Project.

Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social to call out Fox News after he ostensibly saw an anti-Trump ad on the network, which he continually criticizes yet still tunes into!

.....A screenshot of said posting:


Trump appears to also be calling out former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has since left office and joined the board of Fox Corporation. He has, however, zero operational or programming oversight over Fox News.

Moreover, Fox News didn’t even sell a national advertising spot to The Lincoln Project, as the political advocacy group often makes local ad buys through cable providers in, say, Palm Beach or Bedminster, New Jersey. Update: Lincoln Project confirms that the ad that raised Trump’s ire ran “on cable news in Bedminster, NJ,” where Trump is currently residing. Fox News also confirmed to Mediaite that this was a local buy and they did not run a Lincoln Project ad.

And won't win it again because more Americans than his dumb ass maga followers understand that he's being revealed as a traitor/spy who stole gov documents and most likely shared or sold them to adversary governments.

And Dems, never-trumpers and Indies outnumber magats, as shown by the 2020 vote, so let the chump magats keep coughing up their hard-earned money to trump. He's toast, who cares if they know it or not.

Neither does Trump. He and the base are driving all the Republican moves to keep him running in 2024.

Lincoln Project would do better to spend its money on statehouse campaigns.

It's a sure sign that the intended targets really are MAGA Republicans, and him. The Lincoln Project knows what appeals.

Gee, wonder why that mean, sneering voice is never used in ads designed to appeal to liberals and other Democrats? No, not really.

TFG is pissed at The Lincoln Project. "The Lincoln Project is extremely effective in getting to Trump" amuses me



https://www.politicususa.com/2022/09/08/trump-lincoln-project-fox.html



Hearing Trump bragging about the number of votes he received in 2020 simply never gets old, never. It’s almost like he met with “people” before the election to fix the number of total votes needed, spread through various states, and decided that 75 million was more than enough, only to get tripped up by “easier voting.”

Regardless, the Lincoln Project is a somewhat controversial topic on the Left. Some liberals believe that the Lincoln Project is simply grifting off Left hatred and largesse. Perhaps so. hard to know. But we can be certain that their hatred and fear of Trump is deeply sincere; all doubts were removed when they pledged to root them “all” out, any Republican who supported Trump.

The other thing is, love them or hate them, the Lincoln Project is extremely effective in getting to Trump.

Here they take a lap over doing it, again:

MAGAs are never going to switch to Biden and the Democrats. Ever. We all know that. So if you can't get their vote what do you do to address that crowd? You wage psychological warfare like this ad and Biden's recent speech. You turn the MAGAs against each other. You humiliate and demoralize them into 1) questioning Trump and his enablers and 2) discouraging them from voting Republican by convincing them Trump and the Right used them.

I seriously can't understand why no MAGA asked themself "Why would a self-professed stable, genius billionaire need money from my Social Security check to build the wall? Didn't Trump say Mexico was going to pay for it? Or our own government? Why does he need my money to build the wall?" But apparently they never asked themselves that basic question.

For years the Right has used Trump as a weapon to shove down our throats. Finally, as the Right crumbles into a treason scandal, arrests, prosecution, prison, and bitter in-fighting, the powers on the Left and in Biden's brilliant team have realized the very best weapon we have, the best weapon to help save America, is to shove Trump right back down the Right's throat.

The Left is energized and united. The traitors on the Right are either rats jumping a sinking ship or stabbing each other in the back.

These ads and speeches are so beautiful to see as is the further daily implosion of the Republican party into the garbage heap of history. No sympathy for those traitorous bastards.

Too often we here are DU say, it will never be seen by the ones that need to, but Wilson and TLP are fixing that. And that is why now trump is having mini strokes. More please Rick. Let’s push for the massive stroke to rid earth of this pig.
Bravo Rick Wilson. Maybe give Liz a spot on the team. She needs work and hates trump and his GQP.

Rick Wilson told Mediaite: “In 2020, The Lincoln Project took up
a long-term free lease in Trump’s brain. His threat to sue the
Lincoln Project today is like Trump himself; impotent, flabby, and
pathetic.”

Trump threatens lawsuit against Fox News over Lincoln Project ad: ‘See you all in Court!’ (The Independent)

Ex-president lashes out after ad appears on local TV station

Donald Trump threatened legal action against Fox News on Thursday in response to an ad from the conservative Lincoln Project.

The former president wrote on Truth Social, his social media platform, that he would see the network and, apparently, the Lincoln Project “in Court” and blamed them for supposed “false advertis[ing]”.
