"They told the truth then. Why won't they now?" the ad stated.

"Make no mistake: Trumps election lies lit the fuse for that attack on our democracy. And yet, many Republicans are still trying to memory hole the attack for political gain, Republican Accountability Project Director Olivia Troye said in a statement. "Its not enough just to reject lies and conspiracy theories about January 6. We must demand accountability for those who caused it and those who have tried to apologize for or excuse the attempt to overturn the 2020 election."

The ad will air nationally on Thursdayacross Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC. In theWest Palm Beach market, the ad will air during Fox's "Hannity" and "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
