A new six-figure ad buy — purchased in light of the Justice Department shake up that’s put a Trump loyalist in charge of the special counsel investigation — is set to run on cable news networks and urge Congress to protect Robert Mueller’s probe.
“Democracy can’t exist in the dark,” a narrator says, after a rendition of “This Little Light of Mine,” while D.C. landmarks like the White House and the Capitol shut off their lights. “But that’s where this President wants to leave us. Tell Congress to protect the Mueller investigation.”
The ad was purchased by Protect the Investigation, a partnership of several progressive organizations and nonpartisan watch dog groups. It comes after President Trump on Wednesday ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and replaced him with Matt Whitaker, who prior to joining the Justice Department last year made critical comments of Mueller.
Before Sessions’ departure, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was overseeing the investigation due to Sessions’ recusal. Whitaker’s ascent to acting attorney general means that he will be taking charge of the probe.
Watch the ad below:
Bet those treasonous assholes in the WH weren’t expecting six-figure pro-Mueller ad buys.
Hey, Donald? That shit-show Acosta, Alexander, Alcindor, and Ryan threw at you is just the first taste. It’s going to get worse and worse for you over the next 24 months.
RESIGN.
Maybe we should follow the example of various persistent constituents across the country who picketed their ® congressional representatives weekly urging them politely to retire. Went so far as to bring retirement cakes to their offices. Worked with Darrel Issa…
I support the cause, but the ad strikes me as kind of… dumb.
If you’re going to spend $100k+ to run an ad, I would hope you’d spend more energy making the ad better.
AWESOME!!!
AWESOME!!!
AWESOME!!!
I think we need more ads like this!
After all it is being broadcast across our airwaves!
Not so bad when you mute it.
