Trump accuses Dem gubernatorial candidate of 'fighting for' MS-13 [View all]

Source: The Hill

President Trump waded into the Virginia gubernatorial race in a tweet Thursday night, accusing Democratic candidate Ralph Northam of “fighting for” the MS-13 gang.

“Ralph Northam, who is running for Governor of Virginia, is fighting for the violent MS-13 killer gangs & sanctuary cities,” Trump tweeted. “Vote Ed Gillespie!”

GOP candidate Ed Gillespie began running ads in September that attempted to tie Northam to MS-13 gang violence by attacking his support for so-called “sanctuary cities,” according to The Washington Post.

Gillespie faced criticism after one of the ads showed images of Northam alongside purported MS-13 members. The men pictured weren’t MS-13 members, however, but were prisoners in El Salvador.

Yup, Trump going full racist again in Virginia equating support for immigrants with support for gang members, because after all if one Mexican immigrant is a gang member, then they are all gang members. Yet, Republicans can oppose gun control laws without fear of being called a supporter of the Las Vegas shooter and other mass shootings.
