For years, VoteVets has run ads. Television ads, digital ads, radio ads. Millions and millions of dollars worth. You name it, we’ve run it.
We’ve never had a major issue with a platform refusing to run our content.
Until now. Over the last two weeks we’ve gone back and forth with YouTube around our Project 2025 video with Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton (Ret.), explaining what would happen to the Military if Trump regains power.
They are refusing to let us put money behind this video.
They’ve given us excuse after excuse, and finally told us that we can’t run the video because it uses footage from two critical examples of Trump’s record: His crackdown on protesters in the summer of 2020, and the insurrection he directed on January 6th, 2021.
Trump abused his power as Commander in Chief and directed the National Guard against protestors in 2020, the same as he would under Project 2025. Trump’s loyalists attacked the seat of our democracy on January 6th, and that’s exactly what he would do with the Military under Project 2025. That footage is critical to our argument.
The surest way to show Trump’s intention as president is to look back at his record as president. YouTube is not letting us do that.
If we can’t put money behind these videos it gives the lies and misinformation coming from Trump and the MAGA right unopposed airtime. Someone has to correct the record and fight back.
So, we’re coming to you. If we can’t run these ads on YouTube that takes a big tool out of our toolkit. We need your help to regroup and reorient.
