A new attack ad from the Lincoln Project brutally compares President Donald Trump to the coronavirus.
The ad, titled “Virus in the World,” shows scenes of empty streets, labs, and hospital rooms as an ominous voice intones:
There’s a virus in the world. For some people the virus is easy to see, others don’t see it at all.
Some say the virus isn’t that bad; others say its malicious … and dangerous.
Since there are those who still can’t see it, wouldn’t it be smart, to tell the truth about the virus, since there is a virus?
The ad seems to reference conditions created by the novel coronavirus, which has now spread to over 150 countries, resulting in more than 200,000 confirmed cases and more than 8,000 deaths as of Wednesday evening. The virus’ spread has prompted schools and businesses to close, and health organizations to urge social distancing.
The ad concludes, however, by showing a photo of Trump, not the coronavirus.
