Washington (CNN)A television attack ad from conservative Super PAC Club for Growth Action uses egregiously deceptive editing to build its case that Pat McCrory, a Republican candidate for a US Senate seat in North Carolina, is a "Trump-hater" and "liberal faker."
Facts First: The attack ad dishonestly sliced and diced remarks McCrory made on the Charlotte radio show he co-hosted after his term as North Carolina governor ended in 2017 -- changing the meaning of some of his quotes to transform them into what sounded like direct attacks on former President Donald Trump and Trump supporters.
As CNN reported in April, McCrory did make some comments on the radio show that were genuinely critical of Trump. But Club for Growth Action was not content to simply play these comments in the ad. Rather, the ad relied heavily on misrepresentations of other McCrory statements.
Contrary to the ad's suggestion, McCrory's July 2020 comment urging Trump to "get off the stage" and "let Joe Biden take over the number-one position" was not an endorsement of Biden over Trump. Rather, McCrory actually said Trump could help himself win re-election, as McCrory said he wanted, by "occasionally" receding from the spotlight and letting Americans pay more attention to what McCrory said were Biden's poor public performances.

Golly gee, I wonder why!
It’s so transparent.
If anybody knows about deceptive editing, it’s CNN
Whelp, cnn tells us who both to vote for
A fact check from CNN?

As Shakespeare said...
“CNN doth protest too much.”
One wonders, like the 16 year old girl, if lost virginity can be purchased...
Club for Growth (of their bank accounts and chinese investments)
rinos of a feather …..
Don’t care what CNN says. Don’t care what the ad says.
McCrory is RINO twit not worthy of holding Trump’s jock strap.
Man third from left: “man, those chest hairs are looking fabulous!”
Now we know who NOT to back.
Don’t hate too hard on McCrory, he did not cave on the bathroom bill knowing it would cost him the governorship. Plus his stance shut down travel from Calipornia to the state. lol
cnn jumps in to defend him? Ya, don’t vote for him EVER!
When CNN is defending you, nothing more needs to be said.
Club For Growth are neocons into forever wars and cheap labor. They have lots of cash, too.
When you see their name on an add, it’s likely disinfo.
Yep
