TV ads thanking Republicans for repealing Obamacare aired hours after the bill was abandoned


Recommended Posts

One of the ads is at the link, and they aired these ads during the NCAA tournament and during an NBA game, knowing that Barack is a huge tournament fan I'm thinking him and Michelle were laughing there asses off when they saw the ad.

I think calling the Republicans incompetents on this blunder is fair :thumb:

TV ads thanking Republicans for repealing Obamacare aired hours after the bill was abandoned

Two of the biggest news stories collided through the medium of television on Friday evening, as Americans watched the collapse of the American Health Care Act and their favorite NCAA teams play in the Sweet 16.

Commercials thanking Republicans for repealing Obamacare aired near several conservative-leaning television markets — hours after the GOP's Obamacare replacement, the American Health Care Act, was abandoned.

The American Action Network, a center-right advocacy group, purchased airtime for advertisements that encouraged viewers to contact their representatives, and thank them for their work in repealing former President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, according to Deadspin. However, the GOP failed to repeal Obamacare on Friday afternoon, having been forced to pull the bill after falling short on votes in the House of Representatives.

"Republicans are keeping their promise, with a new plan for better health care," one of the advertisements said. "Thank [California] Congressman Darrell Issa for keeping his promise and replacing the Affordable Care Act with the better healthcare you deserve."

As of Friday evening, American Action Network had uploaded the ads for 11 lawmakers on its YouTube account. Similar ads ran for Rep. David Valadao of Fresno, California, and Rep. David Young of Des Moines, Iowa.
