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.

Experts???
Best ad I’ve seen in a long time.
The media cannot deal with someone who effectively fights back.
“Since when did “Mexican” become a race?”
It is listed right before Muslim (alphabetically) in the leftist’s little golden book of grievances.
No it’s not racist. It is just telling truth. Truth hurts, as they said in Kdg.
Unless ABC is wholly dependent upon dysfunctional fanatics, someone at ABC knows that this is a spurious attack on a truthful campaign, that was long over-due before 2016.
Must be really, really good!......................
Slammed by ABC. That’s your experts, and they can take a flying leap.
Must be one of those new ‘White Hispanics’....................
Experts! “REALLY”???
Telling the truth is racist. Imagine their screaming if ADT showed a black male doing a home invasion or car jacking???
Strangest thing...
It was southern democrats (KKK) that hanged black men....
Well, Democrats ARE EXPERTS IN RACISM.......................
Target....Flak....etc.
“...slammed as ‘racist’ and ‘divisive’ by experts”
Experts?
What?
That is one of the silliest most ludicrous headlines I have ever read.
“Experts” on “racism” and “divisiveness”? Exactly what constitutes and “expert” on these phenomenon?
That except never used the word “Illegal” when describing the murderer.
Then it makes a weak defense that nothing shows the guy was let in by Democrat policy. These lyin’ c@ck$#cker$ hope that the readers are too stupid to know that Sanctuary Cities is a Democrat policy and prevents the federales from doing their job of getting this scum out of the country.
Matt Dowd is one of the experts quoted. He’s not an expert at anything.
That has completely flummoxed the Goebbellsmedia. All it has is the Big Lie and it is not working. It is a beautiful thing.
I think most people are sick and tired of "experts".
"Experts" filled the Wilson and FDR administrations. "Experts" told us to eat low-fat, high-carb diets. "Experts" told us that Manhattan would be flooded by now from global warming.
The "Experts" are idiots.
