As former President George W. Bush makes his return to the campaign trail Monday, a super PAC opposing Donald Trump is using his criticism of the nations 43rd president to attack the front-running Republican in South Carolina.
Our Principles PAC is funding digital ads that underscore Trumps call in 2008 for Bushs impeachment over the war in Iraq.
During Saturday nights GOP debate, Trump fiercely criticized Bushs handling of the war and questioned whether his policies kept the country safe. He kept up the criticism Sunday on CBS Face the Nation, calling the war a disaster.
Our Principles PAC, which has spent $3.3 million on anti-Trump efforts since it began operations in mid-January, also is distributing anti-Trump voter guides in the state.
The groups move comes as George W. Bush re-emerges on the national political stage to help boost Jeb Bushs campaign for the presidency. The former president is scheduled to appear on his younger brothers behalf at a rally Monday night at the Charleston Convention Center. South Carolina’s GOP primary is Saturday
Another group, the anti-tax Club for Growth, also is hitting Bush in the Palmetto State. The group is spending $1.5 million to air a 30-second television commercial that questions Trumps conservative credentials.
Although establishment Republicans have fretted about Trumps continued dominance in the GOP primary battle, Our Principles PAC and the Club are only two groups not affiliated with candidates that have spent big sums to oppose the real-estate magnate so far.
Trump and his aides have been harshly critical of both groups.
In an email to USA TODAY earlier this month, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said Our Principles PAC had run vicious and totally untrue attack ads against Trump.
Political action committees like Our Principles do the bidding of the few who benefit from the hard work of the many, she added. They hold the strings that make all the other politicians jump. They own the levers of power in Washington and cannot stand the thought that the people would actually want their government back.
