After CNN, NBC News, Fox News and Facebook either refused to run or stopped running a racist ad funded by his 2020 reelection campaign, President Donald Trump was dismissive Monday.
“I don’t know about it,” he told reporters. “You’re telling me something I don’t know about. We have a lot of ads, and they certainly are effective based on the numbers that we’re seeing.”
A reporter pointed out that “a lot of folks have said that ad was offensive,” and asked Trump what he was trying to achieve with it.
“A lot of things are offensive,” Trump responded. “Your questions are offensive, a lot of the time, so you know.”
