Mr. Trump threatened to take legal action against social media platform Truth Social over a new ad, which aired on a local Fox affiliate rather than Fox News. “The perverts and low lives of the Lincoln project are returning, of course, to Fox News,” Trump said. “I thought they went into the asylum after their last disastrous campaign, with charges against them that were big time and I got a lot more votes in 2020 than I did in 2016.” Mr. Trump’s post appears to be a nod to the stories about former Lincoln Project executive John Weaver, who has faced accusations from multiple men of inappropriate sexual intercourse. Trump noted how former House Speaker Paul Ryan, with whom he often clashed during his presidency, is on Fox News’ board of directors. “Perverts shouldn’t be allowed to do ‘fake ads,’ and Fox News shouldn’t allow that to happen,” he said. “See you all in court!!!” In response, Mr Wilson posted a video on Twitter. “Do it! Go for it, b****,” he said. “Come to me. I can not wait. We’re happy to think you’re going to try to sue us, Donald.” Mr. Wilson noted that when the Lincoln Project ran ads in Times Square, they received a letter from Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, threatening to sue them. “You’re not going to sue anybody, Donald, you’re not going to do s***,” he said. “You are weak, you are incapable, you are flabby. You’re sitting there in the bridal suite at Mar-a-Lago or the bridal suite at Bedminster, grinding your gears and wondering why the Lincoln Project, no matter how many times you’ve tried to kill us, keeps coming at you.” Mr Wilson was a long-time Republican operative who produced some of the funniest ads in history before becoming an outspoken critic of the former president during his 2016 presidential campaign. “We’re here, you’re not, we’ll keep kicking you every day,” he said. “So if you want to sue us, Donald, do it.”
