'No crying': Lincoln Project mocks cease-and-desist letter after ad blasts Trump advisers

A new ad running on Fox News in Mar-a-Lago from a group of anti-Trump Republicans prompted a cease-and-desist letter.

The Lincoln Project said Friday it received the letter over its ad, "Failures," which attacks top Trump advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles.

"They got it wrong," the ad says before playing a clip of President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. "They told you that Biden should never quit — that you should spend all that time, all that money, so much money, focusing on Biden. How he's too old."

"Now it's Harris. She's younger than you — by a lot. Faster on her feet. Better than Biden was on camera. They were wrong. But they're wrong a lot. Wrong that Vance would help you. You know he's terrible. Wrong that you have the race sewn up. It's sad, Donald. They spend more time trying to keep you under control than trying to win. More time trying to keep you from looking at what they're spending. What they're doing behind your back. Sad."

The ad later questions, "If Susie and Chris got it so wrong, what else have they screwed up?"

The Lincoln Project blasted the two in a news release Friday afternoon as "losers" who "can’t stand to be laughed at or mocked."

The group defended the ad, saying that LaCivita and Wiles "apparently didn’t appreciate that our ad states the obvious–Chris and Susie have royally screwed up Trump’s campaign and selected for him the weirdest ever VP candidate — kookier even than Sarah Palin."

The organization then went on the offensive, attacking the MAGA leader, saying his campaign is in "shambles" along with "his mind," and mocking his decision to bring back Corey Lewandowski "to babysit" Wiles and LaCivita.

"Someone needs to tell Trump, Vance, Lewandowski, LaCivita, and Wiles that there’s no crying in politics," the group said, jabbing them as it suggested they stand to lose their jobs, which pay their "astronomical CONsulting fees."

"We would even feel bad for them if they cared about the country more than money and power. Regardless, if they can’t take the heat, they should probably stay out of the proverbial kitchen," The Lincoln Project said, insisting the ad will remain up.
