Ad ripe with out-of-context Trump quotes and misleading clips insinuating he’s a racist
The Biden-Harris Campaign released a loaded campaign ad attacking Donald Trump on Thursday, just hours ahead of his planned rally in New York’s Bronx borough.
The video begins with a 1989 Trump quote where he stated, “Of course I hate these people,” referring to the Central Park Five who were in the news at the time for beating and raping a woman in NYC.
The ad then says, “Donald Trump disrespecting black folk is nothing new.”

The ad mentions Trump was sued in the 70s for not renting apartments black families, but fails to reveal no wrongdoing was found and the issue was likely financially-based, not racial.
Trump wrote in one of his books in the 80s, “What we didn’t do was rent to welfare cases, white or black.”
The ad notes Trump “called for the execution of five innocent black and brown teenagers,” which were the Central Park Five.
In reality, Trump did call for the death penalty in the brutal rape case after the five boy confessed to committing the act.
It wasn’t until 2002 that it was revealed the boys were falsely incarcerated when another prisoner confessed to the crime and investigators found matching DNA evidence confirming he was the culprit.
Can we really fault Trump for promoting law and order in such an egregious case when he was told the young men admitted to the crime?
The jaded attack ad goes on to claim Trump stands with “violent white supremacists,” that he “warned of a bloodbath if he loses the next election,” and “vowed to be a dictator who wants revenge on his enemies.”
“Now, who do you think that is?” the ad’s narrator asks, shockingly insinuating Trump’s “enemies” are black Americans.
It’s unclear which “violent white supremacists” the ad may be referring to, but the “bloodbath” lie has already been thoroughly debunked.
Trump was talking about the car industry when he said there would be a “bloodbath” and the dishonest Biden-Harris campaign is fully aware its ad is deceiving the American people.
We are witnessing the invention of the “bloodbath” hoax in real-time

Regarding the “dictator” remark, Trump was clearly speaking tongue-in-cheek when he said he’d be “dictator for one day” if re-elected while talking about closing the border and resuming oil drilling without Congressional approval, not unleashing some authoritarian dystopia.
“I said I want to be a dictator for one day. You know why I wanted to be a dictator? Because I want a wall, and I want to drill, drill, drill,” Trump said last December.
The wildly deceptive advertisement targets black Americans on the same day Trump is set to hold an epic campaign rally in New York City’s South Bronx, which is a majority black area.

AOC’s really flustered and upset about Trump’s upcoming rally in the Bronx:
“New York City is blue. Brooklyn’s bru, blu-, Brooklyn is blue. Queens is blue. The Bronx is blue, and he’s got no where to go…he’s broke…busing people in in order to get those donations so that he… pic.twitter.com/QKoJSkIkrW
