Former President Donald Trump is trying to put some teeth into his call for boycotts of AT&T, DirecTV and Comcast.
The ex-president has been hammering DirecTV over its decision to drop One America News Network (OAN), which has given Trump plenty of positive coverage, and has long taken aim at Comcast among other media companies and mainstream news outlets.
An e-mail sent over the weekend to his supporters echoed Trump's attacks at a January 29 campaign-style rally in Texas that the companies were “radical left lunatics” that the country is “better off without,” but added a new twist.
The email went beyond rhetoric. PACs raising money for a potential 2024 presidential bid said they are creating a petition and are trying to get one million signatures “from patriots who are committing not to use DirecTV again.”
"I’m calling on all Conservatives to steer clear of DirecTV, and while you’re at it, the same goes for ‘Concast’s’ Xfinity as well," the email reads, over Trump‘s signature.
Trump has frequently attempted to disparage the company by calling it ”CONcast“ rather than Comcast. ■
