"Facebook's decision to take down this ad shows its anti-conservative bias," America First Communications Director Kelly Sadler told Fox News. "America First Action has logged an appeal, but the threat of anti-conservative bias, targeting, and censorship remains ahead of Election Day in November and we must be vigilant in holding big tech, like Facebook accountable."

Sadler, during an interview on Fox Business on Tuesday, added that this "is just more bias from these social media companies."

"We're going to file an appeal, but there's really little we can do about it," she told host Stuart Varney. "These social media giants are monopolies, and ultimately they make the decision of what runs on their platform."
Facebook confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday that the ad had, in fact, been fact-checked. A Facebook spokesperson told Fox News that ads that are fact-checked and found to contain false information are not eligible to run as a paid ad on the social media platform.
