Never mind the GOP. Hillary fucking Clinton spent millions of dollars promoting Trump in the run up to the 2016 election, because she wanted to make the Republicans look more radical and dangerous, and Trump was the most radical, dangerous candidate in the race.

Thanks, Hillary. Good call.

I guess you're referring to this?

Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign (Wikipedia):

In a review of Clinton's 32 general election TV ads, the Associated Press found that 24 of those ads show or mention Trump. The majority of those 24 ads feature raw footage of him rather than others opining on his words and actions.

Interestingly, the title of the mentioned AP article is "Clinton's 'nasty' Trump ads are mostly his own words" - it doesn't criticize the campaign's choice at all.
