George Conway's Anti-Psychopath PAC highlights Trump gaffes in new campaign
Conservative pundit George Conway’s political action committee released a new campaign ad targeting former President Trump over his speaking gaffes.
The Anti-Psychopath PAC’s newest campaign is a new TV ad featuring Conway saying, “Donald Trump has never, ever been right in the head,” before playing clips of the former president's previous comments. The PAC said in a press release that the six-figure ad campaign is meant to highlight Trump’s “mental unfitness for office.”
The 60-second ad, titled "Trump is Crazy," features clips of Trump speaking, including him referring to the notorious fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter as a "wonderful man." It also includes the GOP nominee for president saying that the “kidney has a very special place in the heart.”
The ad targets other confusing past comments, as well, such as Trump suggesting that a voter ID is required to buy a loaf of bread and claiming that noise from windmills can cause cancer.
Conway, a frequent critic of the former president, launched the Anti-Psychopath PAC last week by installing billboards targeting Trump around the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. He said in a statement that the former president “wanted to make this election all about mental fitness.”
“Even before he began showing age-related cognitive decline, Trump had a long history of doing and saying bizarre things," Conway continued. "He was never right in the head. And as he’s gotten older, he’s only gotten worse."
“Especially now that he’s the only old guy in the race, it’s more important than ever for the public to focus on Trump’s lack of mental fitness when they make their decision this November,” he added.
President Biden and his allies — before the incumbent announced his decision to withdraw from the race — previously tried to capitalize on Trump’s verbal slips and other misleading statements. Biden was frequently targeted by conservatives and some members of his party for his own verbal gaffes, especially in the wake of a stumbling debate performance last month.
Biden has now endorsed Vice President Harris to be his replacement, who has already garnered major endorsements and record-breaking fundraising numbers.
