The misleading ads, which started running on the social media site Thursday, ask for donations and float the word 'treason' in two different ways.
The ads, which started running on the social media site Thursday, ask for donations and float the word"treason" in two different ways. One set of ads implies Democrats are making"treason" allegations against the president, while other ads could be interpreted as the campaign claiming Democrats pushing impeachment are treasonous—a loaded word the president himself has used against his critics.
President Donald Trump walks to Marine One prior to departing from the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC, Dec. 7, 2018. The Trump campaign stands by the ads, telling ABC News the"treason" referenced in the ads refers to a line in Professor Pamela Karlan's opening statement at last week'swhere the Stanford professor, who Democrats called to testify, listed the impeachable offenses detailed in the U.S. Constitution: Bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors, and treason.
" 'Treason,' the first thing listed, lay in an individual’s giving aid to foreign enemies—that is, putting a foreign adversary’s interests above the United States," the professor said quoting the Constitution. Constitutional law scholar Pamela Karlan apologizes for a remark referencing Barron Trump's name during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, Dec. 4, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington.When asked by ABC News about the Trump campaign ads and whether treason is being considered as a possible charge against Trump, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denounced the president's campaign
