New Trump ad calls Democrats 'complicit' in all murders by illegal immigrants

Source: The Hill



BY JOSH DELK - 01/20/18 05:39 PM EST

The Trump campaign released a new ad spot on Saturday calling Democrats "complicit" in all murders by immigrants in the country illegally, following the opposition of Democratic senators to a short-term spending bill, which resulted in a federal government shutdown on Friday.

"President Trump is right — build the wall, deport criminals, stop illegal immigration now," the ad says, showing clips of Democratic Minority Leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) "Democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants."

The campaign forwarded the video ad, titled "Complicit" on the first anniversary of Trump's inauguration, after most Senate Democrats voted against the spending patch because Republicans would not offer to include legislation protecting thousands of immigrants brought to the country illegally as children from deportation.

Trump faulted Democrats for the shutdown early on Saturday, saying the party wants "unchecked illegal immigration."

NRSC targets red-state Dems over shutdown

BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 01/20/18 05:10 PM EST

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) on Saturday announced a Facebook ad campaign going after red-state Democrats over the government shutdown.

The auto-play ads will be geo-targeted on Facebook to the home states of the 10 Senate Democrats up for reelection this year in states carried by President Trump in 2016. The ads will run for the duration of the government shutdown.

“Senate Democrats shut down the government for purely political reasons, but their partisan games will have real consequences for our troops, children and senior citizens,” NRSC communications director Katie Martin said in a statement. “The Schumer Shutdown threatens health insurance for 8.9 million children and cuts off funding for critical national security and domestic programs, and voters will hold red state Democrats accountable in November.”

The ads are targeting Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Jon Tester (Mont.), Bob Casey Jr. (Pa.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Joe Donnelly (Ind.), Bill Nelson (Fla.) and Sherrod Brown (Ohio).

In the doubling of murders last year by white racists and neo-nazis. Trump is complicit in the deaths caused by people losing their health care, Trump is complicit is increasing pollution causing many to die from. Trump is complicit in robbing from the middle class and poor for the rich causing many to die from. Trump is complicit for allowing the opioid crisis to continue to worsen.

I hope he continues like this until the midterms...our job will be easier if he does. Most Americans polled chose one word to describe how they feel about him now (according to CNN) "DISGUSTED"!

Spend $500 billion on a wall that can be defeated with a $20 shovel? Repeal the entire tax cut - in fact, return us to Nixon's tax rates - so we'll have the money to waste on this wall, and then we'll talk. Until then, go the hell away.

everyone who's on twitter these days combat this bullshit with your tweets? I guess if we can't get our leaders on the dems side to get out there, we will have to do it. We are bigger and brighter than most of the congress, who will be surprised by our fighting 'fire with fire' they do not suspect we have any guts. Every ad you guys see, get out and blow it up. I will too, not the lone ranger here though. WE have to be louder and more persistent - call daily your congress people, both sides!

When we talk about "illegal immigrants" I want to know more about the First Lady Immigrant. Surely someone vetted and wrote about Melania, but THIS inquiring mind wants to know:

Was every "i" dotted and every "t" crossed on HER immigration papers; or did marrying Don the Con wipe away any irregularities that may have occurred with her status??? Where's the proof?

in every gun murder that was committed by someone who skated through a background check or restriction on type of weaponry voted down in Congress. Like the add-on that turns a regular gun to a semi-automatic used by the Vegas shooter.

Who doesn't see that coming?

By that logic, the GOP is complicit in the death of everyone who doesn't have healthcare. Or every white nationalist that commits a mass shooting or every soldier that dies in a war of convenience. That sword cuts both ways, are you SURE you want to be swinging it around that wildly?
