In 1964, there was the infamous Lyndon B. Johnson political attack ad that suggested electing Barry Goldwater would result in a nuclear war blowing up daisy-picking little girls. 

In 1988, supporters of George H.W. Bush ran the infamous Willie Horton attack ad that played on racist fears to accuse Michael Dukakis of being soft on crime.  

And now, in 2023, we have an instantly infamous attack ad about Ron DeSantis eating chocolate pudding with his fingers. 

MAGA Inc., a political action committee supporting Donald Trumps reelection, on Friday launched a new political attack ad against the Florida governor, whom Trump has been very clearly panicking about as a potential rival for the 2024 Republican nomination.
