It is aimed at firing up people whom metric analysis has indicated are the sort of depraved shit-heels who are already supporters of the cheap thug, or who seem likely to be lured into being supporters of the cheap thug. Its intent is to appeal to their racist feelings and fears, and so provoke a moment's unthinking rage and disgust aimed at Mr. Biden. This is something that will be going out on social media, and there will be a lot such swill, a great deal of which decent folk will never see.

is the tip off, sir.

Surprised this ad not half as effective as Bidens’ vs. Trump, but then they are keeping powder semi-dry for now. And their next magic tricks will be those that suppress by painting Joe as a sexist and racist and rapist.

Why are political ads not held to any sort of standard of truth? For example if Coke said that Pepsi was made from feces and human blood, they would get sued.

But in political ads you are allowed to say anything you want.

Why is that?

Obviously is is slander/libel

Does the first amendment only apply if it doesn’t cost someone money?

This tactic didn't come close to working in the VA Gubernatorial race.

Of the things Americans are scared of right now, MS-13 gang members are pretty low on the list.
