Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ campaign released a provocative new advertisement March 8 that features images of Donald Trump, the Ku Klux Klan, and white supremacist rallies.
The well-timed ad was released to social media sites soon after Biden’s State of the Union, reports Mediaite.
The Biden-Harris campaign ad, which shows KKK meetings and speeches from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., starts out by showing footage of Biden’s speech delivered on March 7.
Former President Donald Trump’s picture is also included, with Biden saying, “I know the American story. Again and again, I’ve seen the contest between competing forces in the battle for the soul of our nation. Between those who want to pull America back to the past and those who want to move America into the future.”
Biden then offers a rebuttal to
those who cite his age as a reason he shouldn’t be re-elected. “This issue facing our nation isn’t how old we are. It’s how old our ideas are. Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are the oldest of ideas.”The ad also sows images from the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where white supremacist marchers got violent, and from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, interspersed with images of Trump meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a golf course.
The advertisement concludes with Biden discussing issues like climate crises, rights infringements, and economics.
“I see a future where defending democracy, you don’t diminish it. I see a future where we restore the right to choose and protect our freedoms, where the middle class finally has a fair shot, and the wealthy have to pay their fair share in taxes.
“I see a future for all Americans.”
