Joe Biden’s campaign claimed that they would take down all negative ads while President Trump is in the hospital with the Chinese Coronavirus.
NEWS: @JoeBiden is taking down his negative ads, going all-positive, per source familiar.
Decision was made *before* WH put out word Trump was going to Walter Reed

Also told no plans to change Biden’s schedule, he’ll stay on trail in next few days. BUT: this is hour to hour, contingent on Trump’s condition.

Of course, it seems this isn’t actually true:
A lot of praise for @JoeBiden campaign for pulling negative ads, but scan of Facebook ad library shows it’s not really true.
Screenshots of still active FB ads below talking about Trump taking healthcare and being purged from life—all currently active, all pretty negative. pic.twitter.com/eFUzxdoUPD

Hey guys — stop saying Biden pulled down negative ads.
He didn’t. He hasn’t. Not online and not on TV.
He had negative TV ads running TODAY in FL, NH, NV, and NC. https://t.co/kck3kh01ra

It seems that the Biden Campaign wanted a few good headlines but decided they didn’t actually want to take the ads down everywhere.
