"CNN is demanding that the Trump campaign pull a recent ad that used the network's footage in a way its parent company, WarnerMedia, deemed "false, misleading, and deceptive."

The ad, titled "American Comeback," was introduced on Sunday night and lavishes praise upon President Trump for his response to the coronavirus pandemic. It includes a snippet of a segment from The Situation Room involving Wolf Blitzer and the network's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta from March 30.

In the ad, Blitzer asks Gupta, "Is it accurate that if these steps had not been put in place … it could have been 2 million people dead here in the United States?" Gupta then can be heard answering affirmatively while the screen progressed to promote the president's travel ban from China as a crucial move in the fight to contain the virus."
