To animate the “Hannity ad,” the Trump campaign already had an image on file of a Chuck Schumer swamp creature—so they just clipped the head and pasted on Biden mug Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost https://t.co/WjgLIOFbrA https://t.co/NXeN4pcgNF — PolitiTweet.org

Michael C. Bender @MichaelCBender

Inside the campaign, the spot was mercilessly mocked for its muddled msg and incendiary language: The ad attacked Biden over taxes, enviro policy, law & order, etc and Trump campaign lawyers edited out repeated instances of calling Biden a socialist. https://t.co/WjgLIOFbrA — PolitiTweet.org

Michael C. Bender @MichaelCBender

The spot was also heavy on language Hannity used on his show at the time: how Biden was a “forty-seven-year swamp creature” who had “accomplished nothing” and supported a “radical, socialist Green New Deal.” — PolitiTweet.org

Michael C. Bender @MichaelCBender

Hannity denied any role in ad. He was slapped on the wrist by the network in 2016 for appearing in a Trump campaign spot. Campaign emails refer to “the one Hannity wrote,” campaign aides confirmed the Fox anchor scripted the spot & Trump didn’t dispute. https://t.co/WjgLIOFbrA — PolitiTweet.org

First nugget from my new book, “Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost,” via @PunchbowlNews: Sean Hannity scripted a TV ad for Trump in final weeks of the race & the campaign paid $1.5 million to air it on his Fox show.⁩ https://t.co/WjgLIOFbrA https://t.co/lfIEiIDJS6 — PolitiTweet.org
