Lincoln Project has been so effective the RW Club for Growth is now running ads against them on Fox

Haven't seen the ad so far, but found out about this via a tweet from Jared Holt of Right Wing Watch:

On Fox News, Club for Growth ran an ad targeting the never-Trump PAC, The Lincoln Project.

Not sure I remember another instance of a PAC targeting another PAC like that before.

I checked the Lincoln Project's Twitter feed to see if they had anything on this yet, but so far they've just retweeted Molly Jong-Fast's tweet about this

and posted this clip of laughter as their reaction to the news about the Club for Growth ad:

Editing to add Rick Wilson's response to their being attacked by the Club for Growth:

We're 4 months from the election and Joe Biden is barely the topic of negative ads from the right, he's just skating by doing his thing. Best case scenario, keep Trump defending and run out the clock.

At this point, why even do debates?

What is there to debate? Joe is right. This is a fight for the soul of the republic, and the choices are clear at this point.

I understand your point.

However, the debates will illustrate competence against chaos; intelligence against stupidity; empathy against psychosis.

There will be nothing in the campaign like the stark contrasts between these two men that the debates will highlight.

Still, I get your point.
