A pro-Trump super PAC unveiled an e-billboard in Times Square in New York City on Monday that slams “FAKE NEWS” for failing to report on a complaint that the group filed against Hillary Clinton’s campaign for alleged fundraising abuses.
The electronic ad, which will air for a week, is funded by the Committee to Defend the President, formerly the STOP HILLARY PAC.
The billboard calls out “fake news” outlets CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, NBC News and Time, saying they “spent more ink on President Trump’s second scoop of ice cream than the ongoing FEC investigation of Hillary’s $84M Campaign Finance money laundering scheme.”
The slide shows then changes to a picture captioned, “President gets 2 scoops, everyone else 1.”
For the “real story,” the billboard directs viewers to a link to the group’s complaint that it filed with the Federal Election Commission in December. The FEC acknowledged receipt of the complaint and said the group will be notified when the agency takes final action on it.
The complaint accuses Mrs. Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee of using state Democratic Party committees to funnel millions of dollars back to her campaign to skirt campaign donation limits.
