:60 ad announced Feb. 17, 2016, run in SC.
[Music]
Cruz: I’m Ted
Cruz and I approved this message.
Female Announcer:
When
Marco
Rubio
ran for Senate, he promised:
Rubio (clip): “I
will never support, never have, and never will, support any
effort to grant blanket legalization amnesty to folks who have entered
or stayed in this country illegally.”
Female Announcer:
Then
Rubio
got
to Washington and wrote the bill giving amnesty to
illegals. Using Obama’s talking points to make his sales pitch:
Rubio (clip):
“We know we have to deal with the 11 million people who are here
illegally.”
Obama (clip):
“We have to deal with the 11 million individuals who are here
illegally.”
Obama (clip):
“The bill that Senator Rubio… put forward, I think, is a great place to
start.”
Chris Wallace:
“You are giving legal status to people who have broken the law.”
Rubio (clip):
“They still have to qualify for it, meaning…”
Obama (clip):
“Passing a background check.”
Rubio (clip):
“Passed a background check.”
Obama (clip):
“Paying a penalty.”
Rubio (clip):
“Pay a fine.”
Obama (clip):
“Paying taxes.”
Rubio (clip):
“Start paying taxes.”
Obama (clip):
“It won’t be a quick process.”
Rubio (clip):
“That is a long path.”
Obama (clip):
“But it will be a fair process.”
Rubio (clip):
“But I do think it’s fair.”
Female Announcer:
Marco
Rubio
burned
us once. He shouldn’t get the chance to sell us out
again.
Notes: It's amazing
what one can do with short video clips. The ad does set up an
effective Rubio/Obama cadence to make the point about talking points.
Frrom the
press release...
Today the Cruz for
President campaign launched a new TV ad, "Sales Pitch," highlighting
Marco Rubio’s hypocritical flip flop on granting amnesty to those here
illegally. Rubio campaigned on the promise that he’d fight amnesty in
Washington, D.C. and then immediately led the effort with Democrat
Senator Chuck Schumer to pass the Gang of Eight amnesty bill. Rubio
used talking points directly from the Democrats and President Obama in
an effort to sell the bill. The ad will run statewide in South Carolina
starting today through Saturday.
