‘Flag of Treason’: The Lincoln Project’s New Anti-Trump Attack Ad Goes After Failed Race Relations

The group of anti-Trump Republicans known as The Lincoln Project has produced a new political attack ad that goes over President Donald Trump’s past rhetoric on his record on race and failed efforts by the administration to unite the nation.

The ad, which first appeared on CNN, focuses on the Confederate flag as not just a symbol of the Civil War, but also a lasting representative icon for many Trump supporters, despite its ugly history as a symbol of succession and slavery from 150 years ago.

The Lincoln Group is comprised of Republican political operatives and thought leaders including Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson, Bill Kristol, and perhaps most notably, George Conway, husband to White House Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway. The Lincoln Group has already endorsed Joe Biden for president.

This is the fifth video produced by the group, and according to CNN’s Jim Acosta, it comes with a $500k ad buy for the video spot which will run in battleground states Florida, Wisconsin, and Michigan, as well as Washington D.C.
