What the Citizens United TV commercial - Rigged 2020 is about.

Citizens United, a conservative political advocacy group, recently released a TV spot entitled 'Rigged 2020'. The ad takes aim at the 2020 presidential election and portrays it as a "rigged" and corrupt system that unfairly favors Democrats.

The 30-second spot features images of prominent Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose faces are morphed into images of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The ad suggests that these Democrats are part of a nefarious plot to undermine the democratic process, with the backing of foreign adversaries.

Citizens United claims that the Democratic Party's push for mail-in voting and loosening of voting restrictions will lead to rampant voter fraud and a rigged election. The ad implores viewers to demand that their elected officials "protect American democracy" and prevent this supposed corruption from taking place.

Critics of the ad argue that it perpetuates baseless conspiracy theories and fearmongering, while also promoting anti-Democratic sentiment. Some have even called for it to be pulled from the airwaves altogether.

Despite the controversy, the 'Rigged 2020' TV spot has gained significant attention online and in the media. Its message has resonated with some conservative voters who share similar concerns about the integrity of the upcoming election. However, others see it as a divisive and harmful attack on democracy itself.

Citizens United TV commercial - Rigged 2020 produced for Citizens United was first shown on television on April 7, 2022.
