Lawyers
for WarnerMedia say the footage
"has
been distorted in such a way as to mislead the public."
The
ad, dubbed
"American
Comeback,"
"purposely
and deceptively edits the clip to imply that Mr. Blitzer and Dr. Gupta were
crediting the President's travel ban policy issued in January for saving
millions of American lives,"
The
liar and chief is at it again – or should I say, still?
If
you cannot win with the truth, load up the airways with your lies!
Reads
a letter sent to the communications director of trump's campaign, Tim Murtaugh.
CNN's
parent company has sent a cease-and-desist letter to trump's
reelection campaign, ordering the removal of a new ad using CNN footage in a
manner that is "false, misleading, and deceptive." The minute-long ad released Sunday
includes a segment from a conversation on a March 30 episode of The Situation
Room.
"It
could've been 2 million people dead here in the United States?" Wolf
Blitzer asks Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who responds, "Yes." But Blitzer
actually asked if it was accurate to say there might've been 2 million deaths
if "stay-at-home orders, the social distancing orders" hadn't been in
place.
This friends is on Centurylink, a solid republican company???
Amid
the CNN footage is video of a grounded Air China jet and an airport screen
showing canceled flights. Murtaugh responded that "the ad is
accurate" as "no discussion of efforts to prevent American deaths
from the coronavirus can be had without the understanding that trump
restricted travel from China in January." Mediaite reports
the campaign is "planning a week-long, seven-figure buy for the ad to run
nationwide."
