Trump allies double down on 'mob' attack in final stretch of midterms (America First ad buy)

(CNN) - President Donald Trump's allies are increasingly embracing his argument that Democrats have become a "mob" heading into the final stretch of the midterm election, echoing his incendiary language in the hopes of motivating Republican voters to head to the polls in just three weeks.

America First Policies, the non-profit arm of the political action committee aligned with Trump, will launch a multi-state ad buy Tuesday aimed at turning out voters across 15 states with competitive Senate or congressional races. The $1.2 million digital campaign's first spot, titled "Division by Intimidation," will feature Democrats and protesters engaging in the kind of tactics Trump has sought to highlight during his most recent campaign stops.

"There's been a lot of talk about whether a left-wing mob exists in America. This powerful ad will leave no doubt that it does," said Erin Montgomery, the group's spokesperson.

The mob-themed turnout effort comes as Trump ramps up his rhetoric about Democratic tactics in the wake of Justice Brett Kavanaugh's bitter confirmation battle. Republicans across the country have sought to capitalize on the surge in enthusiasm among GOP voters generated by Kavanaugh's controversial installment on the high court earlier this month.

Trump allies argue the divisive rhetoric could help Republicans motivate potential voters across the GOP spectrum and not just members of Trump's dedicated base. "These kinds of messages are going to have just as much impact in the middle as they are on the right," said Marc Lotter, a former spokesman for Vice President Mike Pence and a frequent Trump defender on cable news.

As a meme, its hurting the Rats simply by going viral.

And best of all, they can’t prove a negative. I love it when a plan comes together.

Just another version of a “Republicans pounce” story when the real story is the Democrats’ appalling behavior.

The Democrats behavior is appalling and we don’t have to play by their rules.

They don’t know what hit them and let them try to explain it away.

Interesting.

The link above is flawed in that it takes you to the END of the video in question.
I attempted to fix that by posting a new link BUT...

The video, “Division By Intimidation” does NOT show up in YouTube’s search function. It’s as if it doesn’t even exist.

Yes!!

The best argument for rejecting the DemonRat haters is to show them for what they are.

Get out and vote; take a friend, a neighbor or anyone else who might not have reliable transport. It is up to us to show them the consequences of their mob behavior.

“Kavanaugh’s controversial installment on the high court”

Nothing controversial about it. He was qualified. He was confirmed. What was controversial was the savage personal attacks on him, and the unruly mob disrupting the process with the DOP’s blessings. Control the language, control the debate.

Not bad, but they have to work in the Kathy Griffin Trump beheading “art”.

"incendiary language", "divisive rhetoric"

My guess would be Ms. Westwood doesn't think the Dems are guilty of any of that kind of stuff...

I'm just heartened to see Republicans pouncing at all. So often in the past, they just slink away without a fight. Trump has steeled GOPers' spines.

I can't find a video titled "Division by Intimidation" on any search engine. In fact, America First Policies channel does not even list this video. Is AFP afraid of a lawsuit?

How about this youtube video (note, there is a lot worse leftist mob footage they could have shown):

A CNN host had a meltdown when a guest used the words "Democrat Mob." That tells us that the Left fears that its violent tactics have backfired.

Is there an FBI investigation into the financing for these mobs which includes BLM, Antifa, and whatever other groups are brought in to create havoc and commit crimes against Conservatives? We all know the major sugar daddy of the Marxist Left, but is there any foreign money involved as well?

Every single republican campaign ad should feature AntiFa, Kathy Griffin, Mexican flag waving rioters, bloodied Trump supporters, burning buildings, burning cars, and vandalism. That’s the true face of the democrat party.
