President Donald Trump's latest campaign ad featuring an immigrant who was convicted of killing police officers is being criticized as racist and drawing parallels to another controversial commercial that seemed to play on the same fears 30 years ago.
Luis Bracamontes is a Mexican immigrant who was sentenced to the death penalty in April after being convicted of killing two California sheriff's deputies in 2014. Bracamontes' penchant for curse-laden rants about killing cops got him expelled from the courtroom and earned him a place in one of Trump's campaign ads in January.
Trump's latest ad featuring Bracamontes uses video of him in court with text overlays that say he “killed our people!” and claims that “Democrats let him into our country” and “Democrats let him stay.” That's followed by footage of people who appear to be part of a migrant caravan pushing down gates, along with another immigrant’s interview and his alleged history of attempted murder. Text then appears asking: “Who else would Democrats let in?” The ad offers no evidence for claims that Democrats let Bracamontes, who was deported twice, into the country.

But its A OK for Democrats to make ads depicting Republicans throwing elderly people off a cliff, burning down black churches, hanging black men, etc etc that’s all good
They can’t stand the truth!
Well, if “EXPERTS” say so, then I guess.....
Ex-spurts?
A MOAB - must be because Democrats and their media water carriers are worried about it.
Racist and divisive, my tuchis. That’s only to liberals.
Haha...who are these “experts?” Whoraldo Rivera and Juan Williams? That little fat Latina on CNN?
It’s really hard to argue with that tape featuring theillegal alien cop killer.
I’m so sick of our side being demonized for telling the truth.
How on earth is it racist to tell the truth?
I am so glad the media is drawing so much attention to this ad.
Experts can suck my ——
Racist?
The cop murderer looks white to me
Not disclosed: “experts” are Clinton, DNC, Kaine donors.
Tired of the propaganda.
If the National socialist are accusing you of racism, homophobia or sexism you must be doing a great job.
“Experts” are almost as believable as “consultants”.
Pretty sure “expert” means, “give me a dollar; I’ll say whatever you want and look professorial”
Since when did “Mexican” become a race?
I would not be surprised if he was described as white in news tales.
The very painful and unbelievable reality of illegal immigration.
Ex-spurts, a good term for “progressive” know it alls who have nearly wrecked the freedom of America by puking their “superior” socialist crap all over our laws and customs.
Ex-spurts who are incapable of seeing the simple reality that surrounds them through their dense Globalist filters.
