President Donald Trump tweeted out a wildly racist campaign ad five days before the 2018 midterm elections.
In the video — produced for the Trump campaign, according to CNN — Trump and the Republican Party announced a new slogan, saying they are “Making America Safe Again” and accusing Democrats of plotting to help migrants, including those in the caravan Trump has been raving about ahead of the midterms.
In the spot, cherry-picked stories depicting killers among the migrant population and images of people trying to break through fences and gates are included. Presenting the case of one undocumented immigrant convicted of murdering two sheriff’s deputies, the ad says, “Democrats let him into our country. Democrats let him stay.”
