Today, the DNC is launching a new digital ad campaign focused on Trump\u2019s ongoing attacks on free speech. \u201cFreedom of Speech<\/a>\u201d will run on conservative and independent media like Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro, and target GOP districts, including Reps. Rob Wittman (VA-01), Jen Kiggans (VA-02), Tom Kean Jr. (NJ-07), and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American people don\u2019t support<\/a> attacks on free speech, which is why Trump is losing support among independent<\/a> and conservative<\/a> voters. The Republican base is fracturing, with Republican figures including Megyn Kelly<\/a>, Ted Cruz<\/a>, and Ben Shapiro<\/a> loudly breaking with the administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s clear Donald Trump only cares about silencing his critics \u2014 and now, voters across the country and in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey are going to hear about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DNC Chair Ken Martin issued the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s administration has amassed a chilling record of restricting speech, extorting private companies, and dropping the full weight of the government censorship hammer on Americans simply exercising their First Amendment rights. This is no exaggeration, and it\u2019s splintering the coalition that got Trump elected. That\u2019s why today, the DNC announced a new digital ad campaign targeting conservative and independent voters in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia. Trump knows he\u2019s failing as president, and instead of turning the economy around or stopping the health care crisis he created, he\u2019s attempting to silence people. It\u2019s un-American, and Democrats won\u2019t stand for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
