Here's Cards Against Humanity's Latest Anti-Trump Billboard

The super PAC from Cards Against Humanity has launched its latest attack against Donald Trump, this time with a billboard near the University of Central Florida in Orlando.

The Nuisance Committee, an anti-Trump political action committee founded by Cards Against Humanity and funded through the sales of the company's Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton add-on packs, unveiled the billboard this week. It plays off the popular video game Overwatch, and says "Donald Trump Mains Hanzo and complains about team comp in chat." The billboard then directs people to the website Trumpisnotateamplayer.com. Hanzo is a character in Overwatch, and playing only as that character is seen as frowned upon

The ad is aimed at younger voters in the key battleground state. The message refers to the fact that teamwork is key to winning Overwatch, and Trump has a pattern of blaming others for his own shortcomings, a spokesperson said. The super PAC also plans to run similar digital and print ads in Seattle's The Stranger alt-newspaper.

Here's the full ad:

This is the third campaign from the Nuisance Committee, following its anti-Trump billboard outside of Chicago's O'Hare airport, and podcast ads read by actor George Takei.

The Nuisance Committee's name comes from Cards Against Humanity founder Max Temkin's grandfather, Ira Weinstein, who was shot down over Germany during WWII and interned in a POW camp. Weinstein and other Jewish POWs came together to form what they called a "Nuisance Committee" to irritate their captors.

A spokesperson said the super PAC is planning its next campaign for Detroit, where it plans to launch a billboard and website, similar to Orlando.
