A pro-Ron DeSantis PAC dropped an absolutely brutal ad against Donald Trump ahead of his speech to the NRA on Friday, and I don’t just mean dropped in the internet sense. They literally dropped flyers AT the event to accompany the premier of the ad, which has already been featured on Fox News.
“Trump promised @NRA members he’d have their back,” the Never Back Down PAC tweeted. “But when #2A rights came under attack, Trump abandoned us and sided with liberal Democrats in support of gun control.”
It features clips of Trump’s prior commentary on guns and … wow.
Watch:
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG.
Fox News writes:
“Half of you are so afraid of the NRA,” Trump says in a clip included in the ad. “We have to fight them every once in a while, that’s OK.
“Some of you people are petrified of the NRA,” Trump continued. “You can’t be petrified. They have great power over you people. They have less power over me. I don’t need them. What do I need?”
The ad highlighted Trump’s call “for red flag laws,” raising the age to buy assault weapons and clips of him backing “taking the guns early.”

The ad highlights Trump endorsing Democrat-backed gun control measures, including raising the age to buy an assault rifle to 21 as well as red flag laws.
That is a hard core ad and DeSantis isn’t even out of the gate yet. And unlike CERTAIN ads that got a lot of media attention, this one is based on substance, policy, and the candidate’s own words.
Brutal. I mean sorry but, it is. Not sorry.
