One of the most powerful moments at the Democratic National Convention
last month was when gun-control proponent Mike Bloomberg unloaded his
verbal assault weapon on Donald Trump. But the former New York mayor
isn’t stopping with the rat-tat-tat takedown of his fellow billionaire.
On the apparent theory that any friend of his enemy is an enemy, too,
Bloomberg is going after Republican politicians who are supporting
Trump -- and he is also getting behind those who have declined to
endorse their party’s nominee.
On Friday, the Bloomberg-funded Independence USA PAC began running TV
ads against incumbent Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire.
The 30-second spot has Ayotte promising to be “an independent strong
voice for New Hampshire.”
Then with a washed-out image of Trump in the background and a reference to a Vox story from August 15 entitled, “The 40 Top Republicans (and counting) Who Won’t Support Donald Trump for President,”
a voiceover says, “Independent-minded Republicans across America put
principle ahead of party and said ‘no’ to Trump – but not Kelly Ayotte.
She says she still supports Trump. If she’s so independent, why is she
still supporting Trump?”
