The Trump administration is facing bipartisan backlash after releasing a government-funded television advertisement that targets communism, socialism, and Marxism, The Hill reports. The 30-second spot has drawn sharp criticism for its use of taxpayer dollars, especially with midterm elections approaching in November.
The commercial features President Donald Trump stating, “Together we will defeat communism, socialism and Marxism in America,” and, “America will never be a communist country.” While the administration maintains that the content is educational, the timing and the use of public funds have raised serious questions among lawmakers.
