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.”
Here’s the advertisement:
Hillary must think the primaries are over, but a good ad. Mr. Drumpf will not be pleased. Expect a tweet from him real soon.
What Hillary thinks isn’t the point. It’s what she wants everyone else to think.
Not but what it isn’t pretty close to the “all over ‘cept the cryin’,” stage, of course.
There is no “seems to feature” about it, that was a clip from the Trump rally and the elbow punch. What kind of mealy-mouthed “journalism” is TPM engaging in when a clear fact is labeled “seems to” ?
It’s quite proper for a Dem nominee to attack the Repub front runner. I don’t see it as an assumption of victory by Clinton. I see it more as a reminder of who the real enemy is. I could do with more criticisms of the Republicans by Bernie as well.
Having been born in NYC and living in the Hudson valley I really like the ad and I really like the way Hillary is carrying herself as she takes the slings and arrows of the Republicans and some of the progressives.
