Geico is known as much for its offbeat ads as it is for its discount auto insurance. It targets older customers with campy spots featuring aging stars—Little Richard, Charo—who knowingly play off their washed-up status. Geico’s other mascot, that maddeningly chatty gecko, is seemingly everywhere you look. (The gecko is supposed to help people remember the company’s unusual name.) But the caveman spots—which feature urbane, effortlessly cool proto-humans who are deeply offended by Geico’s “So easy a caveman can do it” slogan—have gotten most of the attention, especially among young people....

Parscale’s initial criticism came in a tweet commenting on a sarcastic post by George Conway. In his tweet, the attorney and staunch Trump critic shared a post highlighting the book cover of The Toddler In Chief, which includes an image of the infamous Trump baby balloon.

The New York Times poll Tweeted by Conway shows that 50 percent of Americans polled wish for Trump to be impeached, versus 67 percent saying they didn’t want Bill Clinton to be impeached during his own trial in 1998. “Nixon, July 28, 1974, 11 days before he announced that he would resign: 46% impeach & remove 38% don’t impeach & remove 16% no opinion” Tweeted Conway alongside the poll....
