When President Trump holds a rally in Pensacola, Friday Florida there will be a truck blasting audio of his daughter Ivanka Trump’s comments about Roy Moore, the controversial Republican running for Senate in nearby Alabama.
The mobile billboard, paid for by Democratic group American Bridge, will display statements Ivanka made when news first broke claiming that Moore molested a 14-year-old girl and preyed on teenage girls. Trump is expected to further boost Moore at the rally.
“There’s a special place in hell for people who prey on children,” Ivanka said at the time. “I’ve yet to see a valid explanation and I have no reason to doubt the victims’ accounts.”
Audio of breaking news alerts reading Ivanka’s comments will be blasted over a loudspeaker as the truck circles the Pensacola Bay Center for four hours — leading up to and during the rally. Thousands are expected to turn out for Trump’s campaign-style rally, which wasn’t officially billed as an event for Moore.
“Try as Trump and the Republican Party might, there’s no way to escape the truth about Roy Moore or Ivanka Trump’s own words,” said American Bridge spokesperson Allison Teixeira Sulier. “It’s a disgusting new low that the President, the RNC, and the rest of the Republican party are trying to help send a pedophile to the US Senate, and the American people won’t soon forget it.”
Republicans tried to distance themselves from Moore but in the last week Trump threw complete support behind the Republican, and the Republican National Committee followed suit — reinstating financial support for Moore that they’d revoked.
