Have you forgotten all the disgusting, misogynistic things Donald Trump has said in his life? If you have, the Clinton campaign has just the ad for you. It doesn’t cover every single thing—that would take all day—but there’s plenty there to give an undecided voter pause.
The ad begins with words on the screen: “He really believes this.” What does he believe? Trump is shown saying that “Putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing.” And: “When I come home and dinner’s not ready, I go through the roof.” (Implicit message to married white suburban women who usually vote Republican: Donald Trump is every awful husband you’ve ever known.)
Then the subject changes from how Trump treats wives to his creeping and assault. ”He really said this,” the words remind viewers, before a clip of the “grab them by the pussy” (bleeped in the ad) video plays. Lester Holt says “More accusers coming forward to say they were sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.” Then Trump: “I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone’s getting dressed.” A reporter: “Donald Trump walked into the dressing room while contestants—some as young as 15—were changing.” Trump: “Standing there with no clothes. You see these incredible-looking women.”
Then the subject changes yet again. Now it’s women Trump hates and thinks are ugly. “I’d look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers.” “She ate like a pig.” “A person who’s flat-chested is very hard to be a 10.” Question: “So you treat women with respect?” Answer: “I can’t say that either.”
And finally, the words on the screen: “Anyone who believes—Anyone who says—Anyone who does what he does is unfit to be president.”
The ad will air in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. You can watch it below.
