Facebook Removes Trump Campaign Ad
Breitbart ^ | October 1, 2020 | LUCAS NOLAN

Posted on 10/02/2020 5:37:14 AM PDT by lowbridge

Facebook has reportedly removed a recent ad from the Trump campaign, claiming that the ad features factually incorrect information about refugees and the coronavirus pandemic.

NBC News reports that Facebook stated this week that it took down political ads by the Trump campaign that claimed that accepting refugees from abroad could increase the risk of exposure to the coronavirus.

Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone said in a statement on the removal: “We rejected these ads because we don’t allow claims that people’s physical safety, health, or survival is threatened by people on the basis of their national origin or immigration status.”

The ad from the Trump campaign featured footage of Democratic nominee Joe Biden discussing border security and claims that Biden would increase refugee admissions from Somalia, Syria, and Yemen by 700 percent. The ad further states that “an increase in refugees” represents public health risks.

“We rejected these ads because we don’t allow claims that people’s physical safety, health, or survival is threatened by people on the basis of their national origin or immigration status.”

So then not because of the claim made in the ad like you said?

” “We rejected these ads because we don’t allow claims that people’s physical safety, health, or survival is threatened by people on the basis of their national origin or immigration status.” “

Haha. Apparently there no diseases endemic to certain parts of the world. Better notify WHO and the rest of the medical profession

Sure wish we had some talented government hackers that could shut down Facebook for a few weeks.

“We rejected these ads because we don’t allow claims that people’s physical safety, health, or survival is threatened by people on the basis of their national origin or immigration status.”

Ok so lets get the Left's position straight on this:

1) Pre-2020: Trump is a racist xenophobe for wanting to control the borders. Thank God the Federal courts and Democrats are hindering his restrictions on travel to this country. Trump must be impeached. In the meanwhile its great we are keeping him from being able to order travel bans.

2) March 2020: Trump is a xenophobe using this little coronavirus thing as an excuse to ban travel from China. Coronavirus is not a real concern, its just racism driving Trumps desire to restrict travel from abroad, not real concern about public safety, these coronavirus concerns are silly. The important thing is to focus on impeaching Trump.

3) Today: Trump is a murderer of 200,000 Americans for not restricting travel from other countries to protect us from the coronavirus.

4) Also Today: And by the way suggesting that restricting travel from other countries could ever be a threat to public safety or health is so despicable that it should not even be talked about.

It’s called quarantine and every country does it. Even the EU wasn’t that stupid this year.

Fully agree...it's self-evident, and should be established immediately.

I think he means if you see a Nike ad on FB, don’t buy from Nike.

He’s not stating people are clicking on those ads and buying.

That does not quite have the same effect, does it.

Tell advertisers you are not buying from FB ads and they will stop giving money to FB for ads.

farcebook is working for the democrat party. It exists for the purpose of controlling thoughts and punishing those with unapproved thoughts.

Farcebook is nothing but yet another organ of the dummocrap communist party, just like the MSM. Never participated in it, never will. You gotta love their highly selective application of their made up “policy violations”.

That’s just basic epidemiology.

More magical thinking from the wokester cult that doesn’t know what sex they are.
