Good morning Bedminster
How to needle Trump: buy ad time on Fox News.
On Wednesday, a new ad from Julián Castro will air in which the Democratic 2020 contender will speak directly to Donald Trump. To ensure the president actually sees it, Castro’s campaign has purchased ad time on Fox News, including on Trump’s favorite program, Fox & Friends.
The ad buy in question is reportedly a small one of $2,775 for three spots during the day, to air specifically in Bedminster, New Jersey. The president is expected to be there at his golf club.
Alternating between watching tv and cheating at golf.
“President Trump: you referred to countries as shitholes,” he says in the ad. “You urged American congresswomen to ‘go back’ to where they came from. You called immigrants rapists.”
“As we saw in El Paso, Americans were killed because you stoked the fire of racists,” Castro goes on, referencing the striking overlap between language used by the shooter and the president, who regularly vilifies immigrants with language typically reserved for vermin.
“Innocent people were shot down because they look different from you. Because they look like me. They look like my family.”
So that will be his next tantrum.
Dang, I’d love to see that followed by Omar, AOC, and Detroit’s own Tlaib. And Harris, Booker, Warren…
