After the article was published, Rick Wilson personally responded to Donald Trump in a video.

    Sending a cease and desist over a political ad? Pretty snowflakey weird beta behavior.

    Id be so embarrassed if he were representing me.

      Considering one of The Lincoln Project’s favourite tricks is targeted ad buys in Florida and New Jersey on Fox when Trump is golfing at Mar A Lago/Bedminster I wouldn’t put it past them to put part of it in their next attack ad.

    “It is a really bad feeling to have your Constitutional Right to Free Speech, such a big part of life in our Country, so unfairly taken from you” -@RealDonaldTrump.

      Came here to post that - the response from TLP directly to Trump. Also, the ad itself is in the middle and you don’t have to skip a commercial every five seconds to see it.

        I wanted to post that video directly initially, but the community has an article-only policy so I had to find an article about it and link the video in the OP text box.

        I really hope Trump sees that response video.

          There is a 0% chance Trump will ever watch that video. His aides would take away his phone and have it melted down for scrap before they let him watch that video. He would be triggered, his dime-store-twitter response would be nuclear, and he would probably attack pediatric cancer patients nationwide in response because lashing out with unprovoked attacks aimed at random groups of people in order to draw attention to himself is literally the only play he has.

            Well, they probably can’t afford to put the whole 10 minute video on TV, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they put some parts of it in their next attack ad. They like buying ad slots on Fox in Florida/New Jersey whenever he’s golfing there to make sure he sees their stuff. That’s probably how he saw the previous ad to begin with - the one that lead to him furiously throwing them a cease & desist for being big meanies.

      Rick Wilson and I dont agree on a lot, but his vendetta against Trump is a righteous one and I wish him the best of luck. Burn everything in your path buddy.

    Ugh this is just the Lincoln project trying to distance itself from its messiah trump because they know the name Lincoln project is the ass taint of Satan and no one sane or reasonable likes the Lincoln Project. The republicans and conservatives are still ghouls for spewing the vile shit that’s the Lincoln project and it’s goals into American politics

    Edit that’s project 2025, fuck I am still buzzed oops

    Edit2 lol my deleted comment on one instance is getting views and votes on another, oh well
