Clinton Backers Edit Trump Ad to Make Him the Punch Line
A day after Donald Trump posted an ad on his Instagram account featuring Hillary Clinton barking like a dog, a super-PAC backing Clinton for president has responded in kind.
The ad, from Priorities USA [Rove's pac], formed in 2011 and now supporting Clinton, repeats the motifs from the Trump video—Vladimir Putin doing martial arts, an ISIS fighter with a gun—but replaces the barking Clinton footage with a garbled response from Trump to a question about whom Trump consults for policy ideas. Instead of a clip of Trump laughing, there's a clip of Clinton laughing. The closing text is the same: "We don't need to be a punchline!"
