Tom Steyer 2020
"Capital C" +
:60 TV ad from Jan. 14, 2020 run in IA.
[No Music]
Steyer: Whomever we nominate to take on Donald Trump is
going to have to beat him on the debate stage and expose him as a fraud
and a failure.
Let me tell you how this will go if you nominate me.
When he calls himself a billionaire businessman who's good for the
economy, I'll remind him I'm an actual billionaire with a "b" and he's
a fake billionaire with a capital "c" for con man, crook and criminal.
If he was a real billionaire, he'd join me in signing the giving
pledge to give his money to good causes.
Instead, he had to steal from his own sham charity and hide his tax
returns.
He's running on the economic recovery Obama started, and instead of
using it to raise wages, improve infrastructure, lower health care
costs and fight climate change, he's giving it all away to rich
corporations.
In short, he's a fraud on the economy. Always has been, always
will be.
That's how I'll take Trump on and win.
I'm Tom Steyer, and I approve this message.
Notes: Critics have painted Steyer as a billionaire who has bought his way onto the debate stage; this ad attempts, somewhat effectively, to make the billionaire label a plus.
