Former President Donald Trump appeared in an election ad during NBC's NASCAR and NFL coverage on Sunday night amid an uproar of Kamala Harris' appearance on 'SNL.'
An election ad for former President Donald Trump aired on NBC toward the end of the broadcast of NASCAR’s Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway and the NFL's coverage of the Minnesota Vikings-Indianapolis Colts game on Sunday night. The ad started with 'A special message from Donald J. Trump.' Trump was seen with his 'Make America Great Again' hat as he told viewers that electing Vice President Kamala Harris would bring along another 'depression.
We're losing everything, including viability,' Trump said in the ad. 'We're going to end up in a depression based on what's been happening. We've never seen anything like it, at least in the last 40 years.' The appearance of the Republican presidential candidate appeared to be connected to Harris’ surprise appearance on 'Saturday Night Live,' according to multiple reports. Fox News Digital reached out to NBC for comment.
The NBC filing later Sunday confirms that the network 'views the Harris SNL appearance as a free use of their facilities and airwaves within the meaning of the federal Equal Time rule,' Carr told Fox News Digital later Sunday, highlighting the limited timeframe Trump and others have in this case to take the network up on its offer. Harris appeared on the sketch-comedy shot with 1 minute and 30 seconds.
The Federal Communications Commission’s equal-time rule was established in 1934 and requires radio and television broadcast stations to provide the same amount of time for competing political candidates. There are exceptions to the rule such as newscasts, documentaries and political debates. Fox News’ Yael Halon contributed to this report.
