"Dumb Things" +
:30 TV ad run in Iowa on June 27, 2019 during the first debate.
[Music]
Male Announcer:
Joe
Biden
sure
has done some dumb things over the years.
Like when he sided with racist Dixiecrats against measures to
desegregate schools...
and later he wrote the infamous crime bill, expanding the mass
incarceration of a generation of black men.
Biden treated Anita Hill like garbage.
And his inappropriate behavior toward women? Straight from the
1950s.
Biden clip:
I've done some dumb things, and I'll do dumb things again.
Announcer:
Club for Growth Action is responsible for the content of this
advertising.

Biden Campaign Attacks Club
for Growth Action Following Release of
Ad and Poll
Down
in Polls, Former V.P.’s Campaign Continues to Ignore His Questionable
Record
Following the release of Club for Growth PAC’s polling and
Club for
Growth Action’s television advertisement on former V.P. Joe Biden’s
long and questionable record, the Biden campaign is now attacking Club
for Growth Action and fundraising using selective editing and
revisionist history.
In the fundraising email, the Biden campaign quotes a Reuters article
on
some
recent
Club
for
Growth PAC polling. What the fundraising email
doesn’t do is include the full text of the article or even provide a
hyperlink because they don’t want voters to know about the substance of
the ad and polling.
“According to our polling, many Democratic primary voters
have lots
of
questions about Joe Biden’s record, and if he wants to be the nominee,
he’s going to have to figure out how to stop ignoring them and start
answering them because they aren’t going away,” said Club for Growth
Action President David McIntosh.
Club for Growth PAC released a poll on the Democratic Presidential primary and specific message testing on Biden showing he is vulnerable based on past statements on slavery reparations, desegregation, and school busing. Based on the poll, Club for Growth Action also released a television advertisement on Biden’s record which will air in Iowa on Thursday, June 27, the second night of the Democratic debates.
