Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton launched a TV ad Wednesday containing thinly veiled criticism of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail ahead of the New York primary, BuzzFeed News reported.

The 30-second ad will air in New York before the state’s primary April 19. The ad features shots of New York and an image of Trump’s campaign sign flashes across the screen.

The ad also seemed to feature footage from a Trump rally where a supporter punched a protester who was being escorted out of the event.

“So, when some say we can solve America’s problems by building walls, banning people based on their religion, and turning against each other — well, this is New York. And we know better,” Clinton narrated over the images.

Trump has said that he would erect a wall between the United States and Mexico to keep out undocumented immigrants and has called those immigrants “rapists” and “drug dealers.”
