A political action committee supporting Donald Trump has borrowed a page from the billionaire’s book, attempting to depict Hillary Clinton as unsympathetic to victims of sexual assault in their latest ad.
The 30-second spot, developed by the newly-minted Rebuilding America Now PAC, compares the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee’s defense of Bill Cosby’s accusers with her treatment of the women who’ve said they were raped by former President Bill Clinton.
“When Bill Cosby was accused of sexual assault, Ms. Clinton tweeted, ‘Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be believed…,’ but when another Bill was accused of sexual assault – not so much,” a female narrator says in the ad.
“She savaged their dignity and shamed them,” the narrator claims, referring to her Bill Clinton’s accusers.
The ad echoes statements previously made by Trump. He’s repeatedly called Clinton one of the “greatest enablers of all time” and, in an Instagram video posted last month, questioned whether she is “really protecting women.”
Rebuilding America Now, which was launched by real estate investor Tom Barrack, released its first ad earlier this month that juxtaposed Clinton downplaying her private email server scandal with her husband’s infamous denial of his Monica Lewinsky affair.
Barrack claims the group has $32 million in pledged donations to the PAC. He did not respond to the Washington Examiner‘s request for further details about when and where the new ad will run.
