Truck Wth a Confederate Flag Running Over Minority Kids

November 1 - 2017

Just in time for Halloween, a self-described "progressive" political action committee unleashed an attack ad on GOP gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie depicting a truck with a Confederate flag and a "Don't Tread on Me" license plate chasing down minority children.

In the minute-long ad, the group Latino Victory Fund managed to tie claims that Gillespie supporters are out to hurt minority children in with Trump's alleged love of "white supremacy." The ad ends with a family watching white men and women on T.V. marching with lit torches through the streets, asking viewers, "Is this what Donald Trump and Ed Gillespie mean by the American dream?"

The answer to that question is, of course, no.

The Washington Post reported that the dramatic advertisement is apparently one of many in a bitter battle between the Republican, Gillespie and his Democratic opponent, current Va. Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam.
