The Lincoln Project, the Never Trump Republican dissident group now billing itself as a “leading pro-democracy organization in the United States,” is featuring three prominent Florida Republicans in a new ad launching in the New York City and Washington media markets.
The minute-long spot (“The Crazy Ones“) pays ironic tribute to Apple’s “Think Different” commercial, including “the men and women of ‘Ultra MAGA’ who are out to destroy America’s values and reverse decades of social progress.”
Florida gets its share of the spotlight, of course.
The term ”ultra-MAGA” was coined by President Joe Biden to malign Sen. Rick Scott’s policy proposals, and the Senator is featured in a slideshow of purported extremists from “(Donald) Trump’s Republican Party” that includes Gov. Ron DeSantis and U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz.
Also included among the roll call of right wingers are media personality Alex Jones and U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.
A spokesperson from the group described the people in the ad as more than “outlier Republicans.
“No one mistakes today’s congressional Republicans for geniuses,” Reed Galen said. “But voters shouldn’t dismiss their plans to roll back individual rights as just crazy talk. It isn’t just outlier Republicans talking like this. The entire Republican Party is feverishly working every single day to take power and turn their warped fantasies into reality. Americans must stand up and fight for the future of the nation before it is too late.”
The spot begins with shots of enraged protesters from the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot seeking to stop certification of the 2020 Presidential Election, before launching into a slideshow of the politicians with narrative seemingly tailored to the given target.
As Gaetz’s face was shown, the narrator described Republicans this way: “They hate the rules and have no respect for you.”
“About the only thing you shouldn’t do is ignore them,” a narrator warned as Rick Scott’s face appeared on the screen.
DeSantis got the treatment too.
“If we don’t fight, the people who are crazy enough to think they can stop progress will,” the narrator intoned.

Dear Mister Biden (Isn’t that funny? You share the same name with the President), your debating skill is undeniable. Taking the insult from the other side and…and flinging it right back at them! Much like Pee Wee Herman used to say, “I know you are, but what am I?”
You most certainly are a Master Debater, bless your heart.

Crazy Democrats: want free college and medical care.
Crazy Republicans: want to totally burn democracy to the ground.
There is really no comparison.

Free? How is college or medical free? I gave four years to the military serving this great country for the GI Bill. No one paid off my loan. Free means someone else pays for your loan. Should a mechanic get free tools or a carpenter? Come on man….think.

Really crazy ones?
Lincoln is scurrilous!
Lincoln owns the “crazy, predator” label.
Hired tiki torch carriers in Virginia Govs race in Nov of 21. Racists too.
Please, this groups constituency is FP senior management. Just embarrassing. How low does FP go.
No factor!

My oh my, Mister Tom, you used a big word (scurrilous) followed by an exclamation mark. You must really have your panties in a wad this time!
And I have an answer to your question about “How low does FP go.” (period, you used a period where the question mark should go). The answer is as simple as you are, Mister Tom — just look in the mirror. That’s how low FP goes in its desire to let all good readers have their say. Bless your heart.

Sista! Yes, Lincoln is a predator and scurrilous organization. Sista, you know very well bout predator types.
Btw, have you been kneeling lots lately? You are the superior kneeler.
As for F P, the output of disinformation has reached all the Saints above of late. The lowness in burping for Charlie of late is gassy. As for madam fraud, quite the trail of mischief has been unraveled, so I understand. Be ware.
Sista, I am Legend. I beat the Manchurians and toil as the advocates, advocate. I have brought political equality back to F P. I am the truth and light, no Manchurian gets away from the light shone upon them, by me. Amen.
As for Lincoln, they are disgusting and non intelligent beings that got turned off the RNC gravy train of cash
by Potus 45. They are corrupt and raise money from Dems to defeat Repubs. Got asses kicked ( sorry Sista) in VA Gov race and yes, engage in racist, scurrilous behavior, and will again.
Light a candle for the predator Lincoln group. As for me, I have raised the bar for FP. I am Legend. Blessings

How is Gov. Ron stopping progress? He just signed the biggest tax cut in Florida history, including a 25 cent gasoline tax holiday for October (yaayyy!). More money for Christmas shopping. Teachers also got a big raise.
And if “crazy” means plain spoken and common sense, then sign me up for outpatient treatment.
They can’t

He signed a tax cut? Yeah like Florida has enough money to buy anything or provide basic services lol

You are an embarrassment to society peter h.
Know nothing, do nothing, understand nothing.
Lincoln is a low end outfit. Wilson thinks he knows. Morning hoe is an embarrassment as a side car.
Let’s put it this way. Lincoln is a pile of Adam Schiff on a stick. Enjoy it.
The only audience Lincoln has is FP,
Humiliated in Virginia Govs race. Raised $500,000 from Dums, tiki torch stooges paid for as cheap Lincoln props,
Losers! America’s Gov taking over party snd America responding. New generational leadership. Biden Harris can’t even assure baby formula. Just atrocious. Biden in Florida approval is 36%. Wilson can’t save him.
You st Elmo slipper wearer. LMAO.

May 12, 2022 at 6:26 pm
It’s a big mistake to respond to anything Tom posts. He’s an arrogant ignorant uneducated Trumpster hack simply looking for the attention he doesn’t get from friends or family. Tom is all about personal attacks and lying. Tom will never allow truthful facts get in the way of his continuous fake news story line! Tom makes stuff up as he types. Just like his hero figures Trump and childish Madison Cawthorn, Tom vacillates in a cesspool of absurd self-grandiose magical thinking. Do yourself and ALL OF US a big favor. Ignore all of his return comments. Maybe the internet troll will go away.

No one compares to Soros.
Period you dumb ass.
Really? Koch brothers non existent.
Grow up. Soros pulls all strings for the Dems. Please say no you fool. Have you ever heard of “open society foundation. How Hillary’s state department funded it. You are so naive. .
Tom
May 17, 2022 at 8:15 am
Yeah your right dumb ass Bill, that’s why we have all the woke District attorneys that don’t even bring charges in metros across America. All extremists funded heavily by Soros. Such a ignorant moron you are Bill. I’ll kick your tail all day, you and the rest of your Dum, Dem Manchurians. Except in Florida cause of America’s Gov. Go away loser Bill.

Looks like doing nothing useful has been much more beneficial than that moron running the country now. Inflation in the double digits, fuel prices through the roof, crime running rampant in the big cities, utter chaos at the Southern Border. Shall I continue? The latest is legal citizens in this country can’t get formula for their infant children. Yet let’s go to the border and formula is stockpiled for all of the illegals entering this country. This is the most incompetent administration probably in the history of The United States of America, and yet you defend it. Simply outrageous!!!!!!
Sure go ahead

Wins re-election bigly, and on the way to Oval WH. Read it and weep!
Enjoy!

May 13, 2022 at 4:12 pm
I haven’t said anything negative or positive about DeSantis, but you are too busy trying to insult everyone with pointless narcissistic rants to notice. I’m somewhat undecided on him. But on Russian trolls like you meddling in our politics I am certainly not a fan of. When a politicians biggest supporters are people like this, it should be a red flag for everyone.
Tom
May 13, 2022 at 6:39 pm
Yeah right.
Hardly a troll and afflicted with Russia.
You start the name calling and run to the corner.
I am facts, not fiction,
So now your offended.
Typical whining.
Ryan in Tampa
May 13, 2022 at 6:53 pm
The word you were looking for is affiliated, not afflicted. Everything you write reads like a bad phishing email from another country trying to get people to input their private information. You should rant some more about how awesome you are like a preening teenager. It seems to make you feel better.
Tom
May 14, 2022 at 12:04 am
I meant to say “affected” LOL.
Screw you, instead of trolling me, why don’t you offer some substance on a topic or two.
You’ve been trolling meaningless statements towards me. You have nothing to offer.
You are dealing with a special person, I am a legend. You need to sharpen your game. You are not ready for me. Politics is hardball, not Tiffany winks like you play.
Ryan in Tampa
May 14, 2022 at 7:16 am
If I’m reading that right, I didn’t consider that. All I’m saying is after about 5-10 articles I’ve read on DeSantis I stumble to the comments and read just page after page of you being extremely rude to people. Maybe consider a healthier hobby or less abrasive discourse.
Tom
May 14, 2022 at 10:06 pm
Maybe worry bout Ryan in Tampa.
Not me, don’t read if you are so offended. I speak truth, I have history as legend with FP. Don’t read me. It’s your loss.

Just ignore the posts, everyone else in here knows and we just politely ignore him/them. They think they are “legend” which is proof of mental illness.

You fng losers can’t stand getting your tails kicked. I am the one and only, no fear, you losers love to attack personally or mislead.

As for Ryan, who says nothing , knows nothing and is nothing, save it. Besides failing to troll me, you have offered nothing on substance, like narcissist fake moniker Jones.
Watch Biden pee on self one of these days. Watch GOP win 40 house seats. Watch America’s Gov win re-elect and Marco too.
As if you contributed anything Ryan in Tampa. Jones your failed claims are meaningless. LMAO. Losers.
You losers can’t play play witty me.
