  1. Translation the check cleared so we don’t need to show it anymore

  2. “After further review we recognize the insensitive nature of the ad…”

    I think they misspelled “horrifically and inexcusably racist”.

  3. They already aired it and NOW they recognize what garbage it is. The regime is probably laughing like crazy.

  4. So Is Megyn Kelly now doing the ad sales for NBC?

  5. Funny, no mention of the blatant lies in the ad. Maybe they reasoned that an ad sponsored by Donald J. Trump for President was by definition a lie so it was business as usual.
