Trump Fans Attack Woman Behind Melania Ad

As I reported last night, a pro-Ted Cruz super PAC called Make America Awesome yesterday targeted Utah voters with the above Facebook ad which mocks Melania Trump’s history as a nude model. Today Make America Awesome founder Liz Mair reports that Donald Trump’s supporters have been hurling threats of violence against her family.

Mair, not incidentally, was on the advisory board of GOProud, which sponsored Trump’s first appearance at CPAC in 2011.

Make America Awesome operates independently of any official campaign, as all super PACs must do, but Trump somehow believes Ted Cruz himself authorized the ad. Observers are noting that Trump’s furor has blasted a relatively tiny Facebook buy into national headlines.
