NRA launches pro-Trump ad featuring Benghazi survivor - CNNPolitics.com
NRA launches pro-Trump ad featuring Benghazi survivor
“
The political arm of the National Rifle Association released a new ad Wednesday focusing on Hillary Clinton and features a survivor of the Benghazi attack criticizing the former secretary of state. The ad stars Mark Geist, a Marine Corps veteran who provided security services in Benghazi, discussing the 2012 attacks. "Hillary as president? No thanks," Geist says………
………….. Jennifer Baker, Director of Public Affairs for the NRA's lobbying arm, confirmed to CNN that the ad is backed by a $2 million buy and will air in battleground states such as Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, in addition to the second congressional district of Maine, which splits its electoral votes. It is the largest pro-Trump ad buy from an outside group during the campaign so far. ………
NRA should be more concerned about their non-profit status because placing political ads violates IRS code……….
IRS is very strict about violations so the NRA may be subject to losing their non-profit status………
