A powerful new campaign ad released by the Trump campaign hammers Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over her praise of Senate Democrats refusing to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) as Americans struggle financially due to the coronavirus pandemic that originated in China.
The ad, which comes after Democrats have stalled in replenishing the PPP, mixes in video clips from a recent interview that Pelosi gave where she showed off her $24,000 refrigerator while Americans are struggling to eat right now amid the economic fallout from the pandemic.
WATCH:
Americans are losing their jobs since the virus rocked the economy.
Nancy Pelosi blocks funding for people to keep getting paychecks.
But she’s got a $24K fridge full of ice cream, so she’s cool.
