Newman from ‘Seinfeld’ releases anti-Trump PSA about the Postal Service

The Postal Service is under attack and Newman is not having it. 

OK, so really it’s actor Wayne Knight, who played the iconic mailman Newman on the sitcom Seinfeld, but he’s definitely in character in a new ad urging folks to vote. 

“There’s been a systematic, premeditated assault on the U.S. mail by President Trump and his so-called postmaster general,” Knight-as-Newman says in the video. “Everybody knows the only person who can slow down the mail is a mailman!” 

Newman goes on to talk about how ballots, prescriptions, and all mail is getting slowed down. 

“If you want to early and in person, do it,” he says. “You want to vote from home? Apply for your ballot and get it in as soon as possible. My brothers and sisters and I in blue will do our solemn best to make sure your ballot is delivered.” 

The ad was put out by PACRONYM, a political action committee that, according to its website, is “running the largest digital effort to get Trump the f*ck out of office.” It creates anti-Trump ads designed to go viral and focuses on six swing states in particular: Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
