Today the Trump Campaign sent a cease-and-desist legal warning to, and will seek a criminal investigation of, Pennsylvania Values PAC for airing a false television ad that may interfere with the right of Trump supporters to cast their ballots in Pennsylvania.
“Biden and his allies will stop at nothing to interfere with this election because Crooked Joe is losing nationally and in battleground states like Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Values PAC is peddling lies to prevent voters exercising their right to vote. President Trump has been clear that his supporters should use all legal methods to cast a ballot this election. In just the last two weeks at events in front of thousands of Americans – including in Pennsylvania – President Trump has encouraged supporters to visit SwamptheVoteUSA.com, a website that promotes all legal voting methods. To say otherwise in advertising, as this false TV commercial does, represents an intentional effort to mislead Pennsylvania voters, suppress Trump supporters, and disrupt a fair election this Fall.” – Brian Hughes, Senior Advisor
The Trump campaign demands the PAC immediately end the ad and expects law enforcement officials in Pennsylvania to immediately review this issue. We hope the PAC and public officials in Pennsylvania agree that politically motivated efforts to suppress voters with disinformation violates the most fundamental principles of our American democracy.
