Jim Gilmore 2016 TV Ad "Trust" Airing in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Iowa, Per Agreement With NBC

Richmond, VA -- Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore today began airing a television spot on stations in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Iowa as a result of an agreement with NBC that came about after the network gave free television time to Donald Trump when he appeared as a host Saturday Night Live earlier this month.

Gilmore states in the ad: "We can’t trust our safety to Washington
politicians--- or inexperienced amateurs. I was in Army Intelligence, chairman of a terrorism commission that warned about a possible attack before nine eleven.  And. Governor during 9/11.  I’m not a Washington politician or an amateur.  As President I will defeat ISIS.  And, keep you safe. "

"This is about fairness," said Gilmore, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.  "NBC allowed Trump to appear in a non-news setting and that is a violation of the fairness doctrine where other candidates are concerned.  I am grateful to NBC for recognizing their responsibility and providing us the time to air our important message about the terrorism threat facing America."
   
Trump appeared on Saturday Night Live for 12 minutes and 5 seconds and NBC is providing Gilmore,  and several other candidates who requested,
12 minutes of 30 seconds of air time on stations in the three early caucus and primary states.
   
Gilmore said his campaign will air a .30 second ad called "Trust" 25 times on 18 stations in the three states over the next several days.

The Gilmore commercial opens with photos of ISIS terrorists on the march and warns that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are failing to protect America.
