Former President Donald Trump threatened to sue Fox News on a Truth Social post Thursday over a newly released Lincoln Project ad.

The ad aired in Bedminster, New Jersey, where the former president resides in the warmer months of the year, the Lincoln Project said in a press release. It called Trump’s supporters “suckers” for allowing him to “scam them” into his lifestyle and business.

Trump called the Lincoln Project “perverts” and “lowlifes” and criticized Fox News after the ad aired locally on the network. Fox News confirmed to the Daily Caller that the ad was a local buy and the network did not purchase any Lincoln Project ad. The local market purchased the ad which allowed it to air on all networks in Bedminster, including Fox News.

“The Perverts and Lowlifes of the Lincoln Project are back on, where else, Fox News,” he said. “I thought they ran away to the asylum after their last catastrophic campaign, with charges made against them that were big time sleaze, and me getting many millions more votes in 2020 than I got in 2016. The Paul Ryun [Ryan] run Fox only has high standards for ‘Trump’ ads, but not for anyone else. The Perverts should not be allowed to ‘false advertise,’ and Fox News should not allow it to happen. See you all in court!”

Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson “double dog” dared Trump to sue them in response to the post. He called the former president a “threat” to democracy and the republic in a Twitter video message directed at Trump. (RELATED: Trump To Sue CNN) 

“Go for it,” Wilson said. “Go for it, bitch. Come at me. I can’t wait. We’re delighted by the thought that you would try to sue us, Donald. Do it! Do it! I double dog dare you!…You’re not gonna sue anybody, Donald. You’re not gonna do shit. You’re not gonna do a god damn thing. You are weak, you are impotent, you’re flabby, you’re sitting there in the bridal suite at Mar-a-Lago or the bridal suite at Bedminster grinding your gears wondering why that the Lincoln Project, no matter how many times you tried to kill us, keeps coming at you.”

“You know why? We’re here in this fight for a long haul because you are a threat to democracy, you are a threat to America, you are a threat to the republic,” he continued. “You are a threat to the Constitution, you are a thief of classified documents, you are a traitor to this country, you tried to overthrow this government and the system of our peaceful transition of power. And fuck you.”

The former president referenced the allegations of sexual misconduct against Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver. Twenty one men alleged that Weaver sent sexually provocative messages to men, some who were underaged, throughout the past several years. The men sent conservative writer Ryan Girdusky several screenshots of his messages in 2021.

The Lincoln Project cleared itself of any wrongdoing by denying they had any knowledge of Weaver’s sexual misconduct allegations.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
