New Trump Attack Ad Hits “Ron DeSalesTax” [VIDEO]

The Washington Examiner reports:

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) became the subject of a musical ad campaign launched by former President Donald Trump’s super PAC on Friday, tuned to the song “Old MacDonald Had a Farm,” following similar tactics used by the former president in 2018.

Titled “Old DeSantis,” the campaign ad launched by Make America Great Again Inc. highlights the Florida governor’s history of supporting sales taxes and claims that, if president, he will “make you pay more.” The ad claims DeSantis pushed for a 23% national sales tax “where the middle class pays more.”

While the Fair Tax Act would raise national sales taxes, the “fair tax” would also eliminate other federal taxes. It has been proposed for over two decades in Congress, earning support from several other Republicans, such as former Vice President Mike Pence and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

Read the full article. DeSantis hasn’t publicly mentioned the Fair Tax Act since leaving Congress. The ad is already in regular rotation on CNN.
