The Democratic National Committee on Wednesday sued Donald Trump’s administration for recent television advertisements that promoted his political message while costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that the ads are illegal government-sponsored propaganda and accuses Trump of personally directing them. It asks the court to declare the ads illegal and stop the use of federal funds to pay for them.
Trump has faced bipartisan backlash for the ads, which glorify him and echo his campaign pitch as voters cast early ballots with the midterm elections less than a month away.
The courts have stopped them many dozens of times at this point and it can happen again. It’s one thing to doom when something bad happens, but it’s very annoying when people doom in advance. That’s exactly what the GOP wants us to do.
We’ve already seen them ignore court orders many times.
