Yeah, it's not an accusation anymore at this point. It's documented fact.

You are communists.

This is generally true but people who work at call centers are human beings. If you demonstrate some empathy then you can often get them on your side. I would never discuss politics with a CSR because there's a 50/50 chance you'll offend them but if you use their first name and ask them how their day is going then many CSRs will engage in some innocuous conversation.
...
CSRs are trained to be robots but if you acknowledge that they are people then you can get much better results.
What a low-down, scummy thing to do?
Make a political ad, accusing your opponents of being communists, and lying about your own achievements, all on the taxpayers dime, is pretty damn low.
Not only that, it is probably illegal. But, what is not illegal with Donald Trump?
And put the ads on during a national football game?
There is nothing he will not stoop to if nobody stops him?
Let the DNC try to put a commercial on tonight's football game and just charge it to the taxpayers? We would see how quickly the hypocrites would jump to their feet.

1. Call center calls are pretty much ALWAYS recorded and retained at least for however many years might be relevant in potential lawsuits' statutes of limitations. Many workers have time-to-resolution or number of calls quotas they must meet. So, yeah, a call center worker is not going to deviate from their script and job's purpose to burn time chatting about another country's politics.
2. I do not mean this in any demeaning way, but standard customer-facing/hearing interaction is all but literally scripted. That smiling Walmart greeter might, IRL, hate you or all customers, but they will still smile and greet you politely.
