Joe Biden’s campaign will pull down its television advertising on Friday, going dark on the airwaves on the 19th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks
The leaders of 9/11 Day — a nonprofit that encourages Americans to treat the anniversary of the attack as “a day of service and remembrance” — along with other organizations, sent similar letter to both Biden and Trump in late August asking the campaigns to “suspend political advertising, as well as campaign- or partisan-related appearances and social and traditional media activities on September 11, 2020, in favor of nonpartisan expressions of service, remembrance, unity and prayer.
The letter noted that the moratorium has been “supported by all major party U.S. presidential candidates” since the attacks. “I don’t believe we have received direct responses” from either campaign, said Jay Winuk, the co-founder of 9/11 Day, saying he believed that has happened in the past as well. His brother, Glenn Winuk, was killed in Manhattan in 2001.in light of the pandemic.
“Our view, as is the view of many in the 9/11 community … is that politicians have 364 other days of the year to express their different political views and do all the politicking," Winuk said. “On this one day, this one sacred day, let’s try to focus on the fact we’re all Americans and put the politicking aside.”
