Today, the DNC is launching a new digital ad campaign focused on Trump's ongoing attacks on free speech. "Freedom of Speech" will run on conservative and independent media like Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro, and target GOP districts, including Reps. Rob Wittman (VA-01), Jen Kiggans (VA-02), Tom Kean Jr. (NJ-07), and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01).

The American people don't support attacks on free speech, which is why Trump is losing support among independent and conservative voters. The Republican base is fracturing, with Republican figures including Megyn Kelly, Ted Cruz, and Ben Shapiro loudly breaking with the administration.
It's clear Donald Trump only cares about silencing his critics - and now, voters across the country and in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey are going to hear about it.
DNC Chair Ken Martin issued the following statement:
"Donald Trump's administration has amassed a chilling record of restricting speech, extorting private companies, and dropping the full weight of the government censorship hammer on Americans simply exercising their First Amendment rights. This is no exaggeration, and it's splintering the coalition that got Trump elected. That's why today, the DNC announced a new digital ad campaign targeting conservative and independent voters in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia. Trump knows he's failing as president, and instead of turning the economy around or stopping the health care crisis he created, he's attempting to silence people. It's un-American, and Democrats won't stand for it."
