President Trump’s New Ad Has The Left Calling “Racism” And “Willie Horton”

From the "Those who are easily offended should not watch the video", files: President Trump’s New Ad Has The Left Calling “Racism” And “Willie Horton” | Red State

President Donald Trump made his more audacious attempt yet on Wednesday night to turn a sea of approaching Central American migrants into a midterm voting issue, tweeting a video linking them to a death row inmate who killed two Sacramento, California police officers after being deported twice from the United States and returning each time.

Convicted cop killer Luis Bracamontes famously grinned and swore his way through his trial and sentencing this year, vowing to escape and kill more police officers.
...
The facts here are rather inarguable. Bracamontes had been deported twice. He was residing in a sanctuary city it [sic] what might well be described as a sanctuary state. He killed two law enforcement officers. It is easy to understand why the Democrats are reacting to this like the Devil to Holy Water. It is true and there are no good reasons for why this tragedy had to happen.​

They yell "racism" in their sleep so it doesn't surprise me at all.

other than racism what is the connection between Bracamontes and Central American migrants?

Trump is literally pushing the exact conspiracies cited by the Pittsburgh synagogue terrorist 5 days after the attack. Folks in the center, on the right, apolitical, are right to call him out on that.

Just pointing out that Trump's claims regarding Bracamontes are blatantly false.

The only person to "let him go" was the (in)famous Sheriff Joe Arpaio - a staunch Republican, and apparently Trump's good buddy. His most recent border crossing was while Bush - a Republican - was president. And until he went on his rampage, he was living in Utah, outside of Salt Lake City - not an area where Democrats are particularly common.

Obviously Trump should've shown white non-Latinos in the ad since CNN seems to believe white men are evil and it's OK to paint them with such a broad stroke. There would've been zero outrage.

Leaders on the Left are always calling something racism.

What good is an alarm that never stops?

Luis Monroy Bracamonte (AKA Marcelo Marquez): 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

KCRA reported that the Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff’s Office, “had Marquez in custody four times” as far back as 1996. He was released to ICE after spending several months behind bars but in 1998 “Marquez was arrested on the possession of narcotic drugs, misconduct involving weapons and possession of marijuana. He was jailed and released,” according to KCRA.
...
Controversial Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio was one of those who spoke out about Bracamonte’s criminal record after the officers were slain. “The killer was in my jail eating bologna sandwiches,” Sheriff Arpaio said, according to Fox 40.

Arpaio told Fox 40 “he’s been demanding answers from ICE for months in regard to why they continue to release criminally convicted illegal immigrants back onto the streets,” the television station reported.

In a written statement, Arpaio said to the Sacramento TV station: “The growing conflict between the federal government and local law enforcement over what to do about criminal and illegal aliens are endangering the citizens of Maricopa County and the United States.”​

No wonder they wanted to get rid of Arpaio so bad he was only giving them bologna sandwich's instead of surf and turf like they demanded.

Not sure why you're calling me a liar. I simply summarized what was in my link - which largely lines up with what you quoted, and includes a few more details. Specifically, when you highlighted that he was handed over to ICE after his arrest in 1996, the link I referenced elaborated that he was deported. He came back over the border and was arrested again, then released for "reasons unknown" by Sheriff Joe. He was arrested once again in 2001, deported, and crossed the border most recently some time before February 2002 (when he got married).

I don't always do anything and I don't know anyone else who does either. Generalization much?

Speaking as a liberal myself, I don't yell racism in my sleep but I will point it out when it is blatantly obvious to see. I have done so for the last 27 years of my life dealing with conservatives who thought it was their right to shun and shame me for standing up for NDN social and political justice.

I find that hard to believe that our Nationalist President would do such a thing.

I don't see what that has to do with continually ringing an alarm.

I wasn't, though I imagine most everyone is to at least a small degree.

No, I was referring to the Willie Horton-style ad that Trump ran and other similar sentiments. On this very forum, we've had at least a couple people talking about how this caravan constitutes an invasion that threatens the very fabric of our nation and culture.

If you don't want to be called racist, don't do racist things.
