Super PAC backing Ron DeSantis drops ad accusing Donald Trump of spreading lies

[ad_1]

This is the first TV ad from the Never Back Down PAC.

A super PAC supporting Gov. Ron DeSantis presidential ambitions dropped a new ad Sunday morning accusing former President Donald Trump of spreading lies about DeSantis, in league with President Joe Biden and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Titled, Fight Democrats, Not Republicans, the ad from the Never Back Down PAC opens with images of Trump sitting in court as a voiceover speaker says, Donald Trump is being attacked by a Democrat prosecutor in New York, so why him is Florida’s Republican Governor spending millions attacking?

It continues, Trump stealing pages from the Biden-Pelosi playbook, repeating lies about Social Security.

The ad comes at a time when Trump continues to see DeSantis as a major threat to his intentions to return to the White House, saying the Florida Governor’s candidacy will hurt Republicans.

This is the first TV ad from the group, which has launched online-only ads before. The first spots aired Sunday on Fox News.

The ad knocks DeSantis for saying that Republicans won’t screw up Social Security, countering that by saying that entitlements are on the table for consideration at some point.

By any measure, it’s an unusual path to take, as Trump has contradicted himself by saying he won’t touch the programs. In fact, this is the basis of the attack used in today’s famous Pudding Fingers ad.

Never Back Down has recently placed ad buys in Iowa, Nevada and South Carolina. Initial reports pegged the purchase at around $644,000. Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli founded the PAC in February. Notably, Cuccinelli last ran for office a decade ago and lost that campaign, which was for Governor of Virginia, to Democrat Terry McAuliffe.
