Im an American combat veteran and a conservative. I don't agree with Joe BidenJoe BidenObama, George Clooney to hold virtual fundraiser for Biden on Tuesday Tlaib opens up about why she hasn't endorsed Biden yet It's 1980 in reverse MORE on many issues. But one thing that we agree on is we are a nation of laws and the Constitution is a sacred document. Its a document I fought for and some of my friends died for, Barkhuff says in the ad.

Trump, he adds, shows no such respect for the Constitution.

He and his cronies disrespect freedom of assembly, due process and states rights, Barkhuff says, as the ad flashes to video clips of recent Black Lives Matter protests and federal officials detaining demonstrators.

The ad also flashed to a clip of Trump and several administration officials standing outside St. Johns Church, with Trump holding a Bible, that was taken after demonstrators were forcibly removed from Lafayette Square.

Erin Perrine, spokesperson for the Trump campaign, dismissed The Lincoln Projects latest attack ad.

This is the swamp yet again trying to take down the duly elected President of the United States, Perrine said in a statement. President Trump is the leader of a united Republican Party where he has earned 94 percent of Republican votes during the primaries something any former president of any party could only dream of.
