Jerry Springer takes out anti-Trump ad in Cincinnati Enquirer
Jerry Springer listens to a lot of outrageous comments on his sleazy, daytime television show – and now he's making one of his own.
In a full-page advertisement running in Tuesday's Enquirer print editions, Springer likens Congress' decision to repeal Obamacare to the 9/11 terrorists attacks. (That's Cincinnati Enquirer, not National Enquirer)
"Today's date will likely not be remembered as much as 9/11 ... and yet, what Congress did today will end up killing many more Americans than Osama bin Laden ever did," Springer wrote after last Thursday's approval of the new American Health Care Act.
The eight-paragraph "advertorial" continues: "With millions & millions of people facing now the reality of being dropped from insurance plans (unless the Senate defeats this), does anyone seriously believe that only 3,000 of them will die because they couldn't afford a doctor, or a treatment, or medicine or a hospital?"
Springer proceeds to refer to "Trumpcare" as an "act of war" because he says the new plan is "no less deadly and unconscionable, simply because the perpetrators of this legislative violence happen to be wealthy white men who reside in Washington."
