Scenes of getting bent over, whipped and tied up are being deployed in the latest Lincoln Project video highlighting national Republicans' relationship to former President Donald Trump.

The one-minute video, “Submission” is being released digitally. The Lincoln Project, which bills itself as a pro-democracy organization and opposes modern Republican candidates, is targeting screens around Capitol Hill, as the new Speaker of the House election looms.
The ad will also air around the Palm Beach Convention Center on Wednesday, where Club 47 USA is having former President as its keynote speaker for an event that starts at 6 p.m.
“Oh, Republicans, Washington must be so hard right now,” says the female narrator, her voice dripping with contempt, as the camera pans over the Washington Monument’s phallic contours before cutting to chaotic scenes from the U.S. House floor as the drama over arranging the Speaker of the House unfolded.
“Last week was so humiliating,” the narrator says. “You lost your Speaker to… Matt Gaetz?” The double-understands don't stop there.
“You feel so powerless, like you're being punished,” the narrator says, as a scene of a dominatrix wielding a whip flashes by. “Maybe you’re into that kind of thing.”
The problem is, the video explains, Gaetz wants a speaker loyal to “his master of him.”
“Your master,” the narrator helpfully explains, as a headline flashes, “Most Republicans want new Speaker to be loyal to Trump.”
“You secretly hate him but submit to him,” she says, against music fit for a lurid adult film scene. “Over and over and over again.”
