Two Republican groups challenging
Donald Trump's re-election have released minute-long attack ads attacking the president's response to the
coronavirus after he dangerously suggested Americans ingest potentially deadly disinfectants to combat the virus.
One ad also criticises Americans who are protesting stay-at-home orders with "words of selfish entitlement" as the US death toll climbs above 50,000.
A video from Republicans for the Rule of Law titled "Unfit. Unwell. Unreasonable" cuts together unedited footage from the president's Thursday press briefing in which he suggested that using ultraviolet light exposure and injecting disinfectants, which can be lethal, could combat
Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.
Before running the clips, the video says: "50,000 people have died. This is our president."
The Lincoln Project, another Republican group that includes the husband of the president's longtime adviser, released a video highlighting the "two Americas" that have "emerged from this pandemic" by contrasting frontline and essential workers and people who are obeying quarantine measures with the president and people protesting orders to stay home during the public health crisis.

Lets hope this ad shines a light on the virus, and is effective in getting rid of it.
