The U.S. government produced the content and paid for the airtime through an ad agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security awarded LMD Agency $20 million for a &#8220;National Media Campaign&#8221; starting on Sept. 20, contracting records show. A day earlier, the White House Office of Management and Budget granted DHS&#8217;s Customs and Border Protection $20 million for &#8220;OBBB Commemorative Events,&#8221; according to a nongovernment database. The source of the funds was first reported by The Washington Sun.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has defended the ads, calling them public service announcements and denying that they constitute campaign advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>A White House official said last month the PSAs &#8220;are clearly not political,&#8221; and noted: &#8220;The President is not on the ballot and the ads don&#8217;t have a call to action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the anti-communism ad, a spokesperson for the White House said: &#8220;The ad is educational and unapologetically patriotic. We should be proud of our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The advertising campaign has drawn bipartisan criticism. Democrats have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appropriations.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/260924_letter_to_wh_re_trump_ad.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">argued<\/a> the ads could violate federal laws that bar the use of government funds for &#8220;propaganda&#8221; purposes and limit political activity by executive branch employees.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the sort of government propaganda one might expect in North Korea, not the United States of America, and it is an egregious and illegal misuse of Americans&#8217; hard-earned tax dollars,&#8221; a group of Senate Democrats said in a letter last month.<\/p>\n<p>A handful of Republicans have also voiced criticism.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think any public official, including President Trump or [former DHS Secretary] Kristi Noem or John Kennedy, should spend public money on private ads for themselves,&#8221; GOP Sen.
