Trump’s new immigration ad was panned as racist. Turns out it was also based on a falsehood.
“Democrats let him into our country,” the ad’s script reads. “Democrats let him stay.”
Bracamontes, who had been deported multiple times before his crime rampage, appears to have last entered the country while George W. Bush was president, sometime between May 2001 and February 2002.
The ad also failed to mention that in 1998, Bracamontes was arrested on drug charges in Phoenix, then released by the office of then-Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for unknown reasons.
As usual, Trump is entirely full of shit.
And as usual, his base falls for it hook, line and sinker.
