Well, well, well, what do we have here? It seems that President Biden’s reelection campaign has decided to take a stroll down memory lane and remind us all of the delightful family separation policy implemented by none other than the orange-hued, reality TV star turned former President, Donald Trump. In a new 50-second digital ad, aptly named “Ripped Apart” (because who doesn’t love a good pun?), the Biden camp takes aim at Trump’s less-than-stellar track record on immigration.
The ad, released on the anniversary of the Trump administration (because apparently, we’re celebrating that now), is specifically targeting Latino voters in key battleground states. You know, the same voters who were likely directly affected by Trump’s warm and fuzzy approach to immigration. The ad features several quotes from the man himself, waxing poetic about how migrants were ruining the country and threatening to break up families who dared to cross the border. It’s like a Greatest Hits album, but instead of catchy tunes, it’s just a compilation of Trump’s most cringe-worthy statements.
But wait, there’s more! The ad also includes heart-wrenching images of children at the border, just in case you needed a visual reminder of the human cost of Trump’s policies. And, of course, there’s a sprinkle of information about Biden’s noble intention to reunite these families, because nothing says “vote for me” like cleaning up the mess left by your predecessor.
In one particularly charming clip, Trump boldly declares that he doesn’t view migrants as people, but rather as animals. It’s a statement that’s sure to win the hearts and minds of voters everywhere, right? The ad warns that if Trump manages to claw his way back into the White House, he’ll have even more delightful plans for immigration, including the largest deportation operations in the country’s history. It’s like a twisted version of “go big or go home,” except in this case, it’s more like “go home, or we’ll make you go home.”
Biden’s campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, also chimed in with a statement, pointing out the obvious: Trump created a system that systematically ripped children away from their mothers. But don’t worry, folks, Trump has been celebrating these cruel practices ever since, because nothing says “leadership” like taking pride in traumatizing families.
Meanwhile, Biden is apparently working tirelessly to reunite these families, undoing the damage caused by Trump’s legacy of targeting parents (specifically mothers) who had the audacity to seek a better future for their children. It’s almost as if Biden recognizes that immigrants are, you know, human beings with hopes and dreams, rather than faceless “animals” to be demonized for political gain.
So, there you have it, folks. The Biden campaign’s latest ad is a snarky reminder of the past administration’s immigration policies, complete with a side of “please vote for me, I promise I’ll do better.” As for Trump, well, he might want to start working on his own campaign ad – maybe something along the lines of “Make America Separate Again”? Just a thought.
