The Lincoln Project’s co-founder Rick Wilson dared former President Donald Trump to make good on his threat to sue the group, after new ads called Trump supporters ‘suckers.’
‘Go for it! Go for it, b***h! Come at me!’ Wilson said in a video he posted to Twitter Thursday. ‘I can’t wait! We’re delighted by the thought you’d try to sue us, Donald. Do it. I double-dog dare you!’
On Thursday, using Truth Social, Trump complained that the ‘Perverts and Lowlifes of the Lincoln Project’ were back on Fox News Channel.
‘The Paul [Ryan] run Fox only has high standards for “Trump” ads, but not for anyone else,’ the ex-president continued, referencing the former GOP House speaker who now serves on the Fox Corporation Board. ‘The Perverts should not be allowed to “false advertise,” and Fox News should not allow it to happen.’
‘See you all in Court!!!’ Trump added.

The Lincoln Project’s latest ad buy was for cable news channels in the Bedminster, New Jersey area, where Trump spends his summer.
The spot, entitled ‘Sucker,’ claims that Trump disputed the 2020 election ‘to rip you off, to sucker you, to take your hard-earned money and shovel it into his pockets.’
‘He spent it on himself,’ the ad continues. ‘Not to take back the White House. It was the biggest scam in political history. Every dollar you sent him paid to keep his shaky business empire and lavish lifestyle going.’
‘It was a sucker’s game all along – and you know the sucker is? It’s you,’ the ad concludes.
The ad came out as ABC News reported this week that the federal grand jury investigating the January 6 Capitol attack has been subpoenaing people involved in Trump’s Save America PAC, which raised funds from Trump supporters on false election fraud claims.
Trump continued to push this week that he was the election’s winner, calling The Lincoln Project’s 2020 effort a ‘catastrophic campaign’ because he got ‘many millions more votes in 2020 than I got in 2016.’
President Joe Biden, however, got more votes than Trump – to both win the Electoral College and win the popular vote.
In his video message, Wilson said he didn’t believe Trump would sue the Lincoln Project, which was founded by a handful of former Republicans in the lead-up to the 2020 election.
‘You’re not going to do a g*****n thing,’ Wilson said. ‘You are weak, you are impotent, you are flabby.’
‘You are sitting there in the bridal suite at Mar-a-Lago or in the bridal suite at Bedminster, grinding your gears, wondering why that the Lincoln Project, no matter how many times you try to kill us, keeps coming at you,’ he continued. ‘You know why? We’re here in this fight for the long haul, because you are a threat to democracy. You are a threat to America. You are a threat to the Republic. You are a threat to the Constitution. You are a thief of classified documents. You are a traitor to this country. You tried to overthrow the government and the system of our peaceful transition of power, and f**k you.’
Wilson told Trump ‘go for it’ if he wanted to sue the group.
‘You won’t do it because you are, in fact, as I said previously, completely impotent. Just ask Melania,’ Wilson said.
