UNITED STATES – The conservative channel Fox News removed an election video message from the US President's campaign. This 30-second spot draws parallels between convoys of migrants en route to the US border and a Mexican criminal. A decision that came Monday, November 5, the eve of the US legislative elections.
"After review, Fox News withdrew the ad yesterday and it will not appear on Fox News or Fox Business Network," said the president of the sale of advertising space for the channel, Marianne Gambelli, in a message transmitted to AFP.
A video called "racist" by CNN
NBC has done the same and Facebook told AFP Monday have also removed the ad from its platform. "We realized the indelicate nature of this advertising," CNN spokesman told CNN on Monday. For its part, CNN refused to broadcast the video as soon as it was submitted to its advertising agency and called it "racist".
The video begins with footage of Luis Bracamontes, a Mexican national sentenced to death in April for the murder of two police officers in 2014. In addition to the seriousness of the incident, the case attracted media attention because Bracamontes had upheld the verdict of guilt laughing, promising to escape from prison and "kill more cops soon".
A Mexican criminal returned to the United States under the Bush administration
In advertising, the images of the Mexican are accompanied by messages like "The Democrats let him enter our country" and "The Democrats let him stay there". The spot follows images of convoys of migrants currently making their way from Mexico to the US border. It also shows migrants driving through screen doors.
"Who else would the Democrats let in?" Asks the advertisement, citing the scenario of a Democratic election victory in Tuesday's election. Several US media have reported that Luis Bracamontes, who has been expelled several times from US territory, is believed to have returned for the last time between May 2001 and February 2002, during the Bush administration.
"Effective" videos for Donald Trump
Asked by reporters about the potentially shocking nature of the video message, the president, who made immigration a major threat, said, "A lot of things are shocking, your questions are shocking."
"They are certainly effective," Donald Trump said of the videos, which emphasize the risk of mbad illegal immigration and the alleged dangerousness of some of the candidates for entry into the United States. .
CNN targets the son of the US president
The son of US President Donald Trump Junior denounced Saturday CNN's refusal to broadcast the video message. "I imagine they only pbad false information (" fake news") and will not talk about real threats that do not serve their purpose," he said.
CNN refused to run this ad … I guess they'll just run out and do not follow their agenda. Enjoy. Remember this on Tuesday. #vote#voterepublicanpic.twitter.com/VyMm7GhPLX
