A national television ad blasting Texas Gov. Greg Abbotts handling of the coronavirus pandemic that was slated to air during Saturdays University of Texas vs. Rice University football game was pulled minutes before the contest started, according to the group that produced the television spot.
Members of the Lincoln Project, a group of former and current members of the Republican Party who resist the polices of former President Donald Trump, are asking why the ad they produced and paid for didnt air. The $25,000 spot was approved by ESPNs legal department, a Lincoln Project spokesman said.
Despite being cleared by ESPNs legal department, 10 minutes before kickoff, we were informed that the ad would not run, according to a Lincoln Project statement. When asked why, we were told it was a University-made decision. Did Greg Abbott or his allies assert political influence to ensure the advertisement was not broadcast?
