(Daily360.com) A Democratic party super PAC has spent $20 million on a new advertising effort in swing states to attack former President Donald Trump for the events that took place on January 6. The group, which is called American Bridge 21st Century, issued a statement saying their primary methods of attacking Trump are on the basis of “abortion, democracy, and freedom.”
The group wants to remind voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania that Trump was responsible (they say) for the protests and attack on the capitol shortly before Joe Biden took over presidential duties. The group mentioned presumptive Democratic party nominee Kamala Harris’ previous experience as a prosecutor in California. The spokesman said her record locking up criminals like Trump is what makes their latest ad effort even more powerful.
According to a January 2024 poll, 53% of respondents believe Trump deserves a high amount of blame for the events that transpired on January 6, 2021. 45% say that Trump only deserves a small amount of blame or no blame at all for what happened on that day. 55% of respondents said that the actions of Trump and protestors on January 6 was an attack on democracy.
The Democratic party has often said that voters should choose the Democratic candidate because democracy is at stake. During a rally in Grand Rapids, MI, Trump referred to the continued statements from the Democrats that he is a threat to democracy. Trump asked the packed stadium “what the hell” did he do to stop or end democracy. Then, he said he took a bullet for democracy.
In a Charlotte rally on July 24, Trump implied that the rhetoric coming from his political opponents about democracy may have fueled the 20-year-old shooter to make an attempt on the former president’s life. He added that people in the Democratic party are a threat to democracy and a threat to the country. The Democratic party has received criticism for not being democratic after pressuring Biden to step down after he won the 2024 primary.
