President Biden’s re-election campaign is taking aim at former President Trump with a new digital ad on the anniversary of the Trump administration’s family separation policy.
The 50-second ad, titled “Scratched,” aims to reach Latino voters in swing states, according to the campaign.
Includes images of children at the border and quotes from Trump about migrants, including “they are destroying our country” and “when you tell a family if you come, we will separate you, they won’t come.”
It also includes information about Biden’s plans to reunite families once the president takes office.
“They are not people, in my opinion, they are animals,” Trump said in a clip from the ad.
And the ad warns of the former president’s immigration plans if he is re-elected for another term, including Trump saying he would launch the largest deportation operation in U.S. history moments after another inauguration.
“Stop Trump,” the ad says.
“Six years ago, Donald Trump masterminded the systematic government policy of ripping innocent children from their mothers,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement. “Since then, Trump has not just justified these cruel policies – he has celebrated them. “
“To this day, President Biden still works tirelessly to reunite children with their families – it’s the lasting legacy of Trump, who made it his mission to persecute mothers and children under the guise of being ‘tough’ on immigration,” she added. .
