Footage of police using force to disperse protesters sits alongside clips of Trump hailing the “beautiful” scenes in the montage that the new Meidas Touch political action committee released online late Thursday.
“None of this is beautiful,” reads text that appears towards the end of the video. “End this ugly presidency,” it adds.
The 47-second clip garnered more than 1.2 million views in its first 7 hours on Twitter. It also caused the #UglyPresident hashtag to trend.
Nothing about today has been beautiful.
Nothing about the last week has been beautiful.
Nothing about the last month has been beautiful.
Nothing about the last year has been beautiful.
Nothing about the last 4 years has been beautiful. #UglyPresident pic.twitter.com/xliXKjWeWB— Melissa Blake (@melissablake) June 12, 2020
The Meidas Touch PAC was founded by Ben Meiselas, the attorney of former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, and his two brothers.
