Trump campaign ad singles out former WA Gov. Locke over race

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump’s reelection campaign released a new ad on Friday accusing former Vice President Joe Biden of being soft on China, eliciting outrage from Democrats, who said the ad singled out a prominent American citizen because of his race.

The new ad features clips of Biden praising China and meeting with Chinese officials.

At one point the ad flashes to an image of former Washington Gov. Gary Locke (D), the Seattle-born Chinese American who also served as former President Obama’s ambassador to China.

Democrats said the image, which features Locke standing near Chinese flags, is indistinguishable from the other images of Chinese officials and was included either because Locke looks Chinese or in an effort to stoke suspicion around him because of his ethnicity.

“Their repugnant depiction of a great American, who Joe Biden is honored to have the support of, speaks to exactly why the Vice President is determined to win this battle for the soul of our nation," said Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the Biden campaign. "It’s also incredibly revealing that this ad comes from a president who spent weeks buying the Chinese government’s spin about containment of the outbreak, despite Joe Biden publicly warning him not to.”
