The Lincoln Project released a new attack advertisement targeting top Republican senators allied with President Trump tonight, calling on voters to never trust them again.
The group formed by anti-Trump Republican strategists listed off several GOP senators it deemed to have shown “cowardice” under the president’s leadership, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Sen. Martha McSally of Arizona.
It also accused the list of 14 senators of committing “betrayals” in office and choosing Trump over the country at large.
The narrator in the ad, titled “Names,” starts by claiming that once the president is out of the White House, his allies in the Senate will be begging for forgiveness from others in the Republican Party for how they voted during his presidency.
“Someday soon, the time of Trump will pass. This circus of incompetence, corruption and cruelty will end. When it does, the men and women in Trump’s Republican Party will come to you, telling you they can repair the damage he’s done.
“They’ll beg you to forgive their votes to exonerate Trump from his crimes, ask you to forgive their silence, their cowardice and their betrayals as Trump wrecked this nation.”
The ad specifies Republican senators, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Cory Gardner, Marco Rubio, Susan Collins, John Cornyn, Tom Cotton, Mike Rounds, Steve Daines, Joni Ernst, James Inhofe, Martha McSally and Thom Tillis.
All of the senators named, except for Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are up for reelection in November, according to the Hill.
“Every time they had a choice between America and Trump, they chose Trump. Every time they were called to the service of this nation and their sacred oath, they chose Trump,” the narrator adds.
“Learn their names. Remember their actions. And never, ever trust them again.”
Writing about the new ad on Wednesday, Reed Galen, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, claimed that the senators named have failed to stand up for the US Constitution.
“These are senators who have abandoned their consciences, left the American people behind, and fail to stand up for the Constitution and common decency.”
The new video is the one of several ads from the campaign group in the past week, and it claimed on Tuesday that the president has a “loyalty problem,” in his administration, following recent leaks of information.
Addressing the president directly, the narrator said that the leaks are “in your campaign, your White House, in Congress, even your own family.”
WATCH: ‘Names’ Ad:
The anti-Trump Republican Super PAC launched its latest salvo against the GOP days after partnering with the “La Cucaracha” artist on an attack ad aimed at Latino voters.
Lalo Alcaraz partnered with the group backing Joe Biden for the presidency to produce a political cartoon attacking Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak.
The cartoon published on The Lincoln Project’s website and social media pages showed the president holding a rally with two COVID-19 cells under a banner reading: “Viruses for Trump.”
A few weeks earlier, The Lincoln Project team ran an attack ad attacking Trump’s credentials as a China hawk following the release of his former National Security Adviser’s tell-all White House memoir, which claimed the president had asked his Chinese counterpart to help him win re-election.
“Donald Trump is playing pretend again, saying he’s the one to take on China,” the ad said. “They can’t wait.”
