The leading super PAC backing Kamala Harris for president recently launched a new TV ad that takes aim at Donald Trump's controversial remarks about Haitian immigrants. The ad, created by Future Forward PAC, features a clip from a recent debate where Trump made false claims about Haitian immigrants consuming pets. The ad juxtaposes Trump's rhetoric with Harris' focus on economic issues.
In the ad, Trump is shown stating, 'They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, they're eating the pets. This is what's happening in our country,' as images of concerned pets are displayed. The narrator then shifts the focus to Harris, highlighting her economic agenda and commitment to addressing the needs of the American people.
Harris is shown in the ad addressing issues such as the housing shortage, support for small businesses, and reducing grocery prices. She pledges to prioritize these concerns and work towards solutions that benefit the public.
This TV ad marks the first instance in the Democratic presidential race where Trump's controversial comments have been directly addressed. Trump's remarks, which were based on false social media claims about migrants, have stirred controversy and impacted the campaign trail. The ad aims to contrast Trump's divisive rhetoric with Harris' more inclusive and policy-focused approach.
Despite facing criticism for his statements, Trump and his running mate JD Vance have stood by their rhetoric and continued to reference the false claims about migrants. The controversy surrounding immigration policies and misinformation has become a focal point in the ongoing presidential campaign.
