Trump's Racist Ad (UPDATED)


There's no bottom for them:
In the most racially charged national political ad in 30 years, President Donald Trump and the Republican Party accuse Democrats of plotting to help people they depict as Central American invaders overrun the nation with cop killers. 
The new web video, tweeted by the President five days before the midterm elections, is the most extreme step yet in the most inflammatory closing argument of any campaign in recent memory. 
The Trump campaign ad is the latest example of the President's willingness to lie and fear-monger in order to tear at racial and societal divides; to embrace demagoguery to bolster his own political power and the cause of the Republican midterm campaign. 
The web video -- produced for the Trump campaign -- features Luis Bracamontes, a Mexican man who had previously been deported but returned to the United States and was convicted in February in the slaying of two California deputies. (our emphasis)
We're purposefully not linking to the video;  you may have already seen it anyway.  It's pure filth. It appeals directly to the most bigoted, darkest corners of the American id.  In other words, it's pure white nationalist Trump Republicanism.  All Americans should be revolted by this naked display of bigotry and fear- mongering -- especially the race- baited Hispanic population.

The only way to stop this corrosion in our country is to vote these Republican bastards out at every level of government.  Every one of them.
