Donald Trump Jr. slams the Washington Post over the estimated $10 million ad the paper ran during the Super Bowl.
Donald Trump Jr. on Sunday blasted The Washington Post over the estimated $10 million ad the paper ran during the Super Bowl.
“You know how MSM journalists could avoid having to spend millions on a #superbowl commercial to gain some underserved credibility?” Trump Jr. tweeted. “How about report the news and not their leftist BS for a change.”
The paper’s ad, which ran 60 seconds, was narrated by actor Tom Hanks, who co-starred in the 2017 film “The Post.” The ad showcased the importance of journalism and the Jeff Bezos-owned publication's slogan, "Democracy dies in darkness."
