A super PAC that launched a smear ad on Melania Trump in Utah has been linked to former GOP presidential candidate and Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.
According to Breitbart, the Make America Awesome PAC, which ran the smear ad in Utah about Melania’s nude modeling, is run by political consultant Liz Mair.
Unfortunately, Mair isn’t that bright. On Make America Awesome’s website, it tells potential donors, “If you would like to donate by mail, send checks to: Make America Awesome PO Box 26141 Alexandria, VA 22313.”
Problem: P.O. Box 26141 is also the mailing address for Carly for America, the official organization for Fiorina’s former presidential campaign. It’s since been re-purposed as a general-issue political action committee.
Whoops.
Mair’s advertisement touched off a Twitter war between the Cruz and Trump campaigns over each candidate’s wives, during which Cruz has vigorously accused Trump of playing dirty. Fiorina, for her part, has been an ardent supporter of Cruz’s campaign these last few weeks, linking the original smear ad back to Cruz for the first time.
The smear advertisement against Melania (it’s disgusting and underhanded enough that we’re not going to show it here; I assure you that you can find it easily enough on Facebook if you’re so inclined) also managed to incur the wrath of some liberals who felt that it was “shaming” Melania.
Mair was open about the fact that she didn’t actually believe in the ad’s content, she just wanted to win.
…and we have indicators that for them, Melania posing nude is disturbing and bothersome. I'm fine w her having done it, but they're not.
