Thursday, the pro-Donald Trump Great America PAC released its first ad. In it, Navy SEAL Carl Higbie explains what is at stake and why he’s supporting the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting in the November general election.
“I did two tours in Iraq, in Baghdad and Fallujah,” he said. “I faced the enemy on the battlefield and know what it takes to defeat them.
“The Orlando tragedies are a stark reminder the battlefield and the enemy is moving here to our shores and our communities. But this enemy won’t be defeated by taking away our guns or by weak leaders in denial who won’t even call out the enemy by name.”
The enemy—ISIS and radical Islamic terrorism—can only be defeated with strong leadership from a commander-in-chief who understands the threat, he said, and who is willing to make tough choices to protect America.
“Donald Trump is that leader in the toughness and resolve to defeat radical Islamic terrorism,” he said. “Donald Trump will give our military and national security agencies the tools and resources they need to protect our citizens.
“The stakes are high and the decision is clear.”
