WASHINGTON, DC: Joe Biden’s campaign has released two advertisements calling out his rival Donald Trump for his apparent hate toward Black Americans.

One of the recently launched ads titled, 'Contempt,' showed Trump saying, “Of course, I hate these people,” as reported by Politico.



 

Donald Trump called out for ‘disrespecting Black people’

The statement was reportedly made by the former leader during a 1989 CNN interview, where he called for the death penalty for five Black and brown teenagers who were wrongfully convicted of sexually assaulting a white woman in Central Park. Years, later they were declared innocent.

In the ad, a narrator can be heard saying, “Donald Trump disrespecting Black people is nothing new.”

The same ad was also shared on X by the account Biden-Harris HQ with a caption that read, “NEW AD: As Trump heads to the Bronx today, let’s remember: Trump is a lifelong racist. From calling to execute innocent Black teenagers to standing with violent white supremacists, we all know who Trump is.”



 

Ad claims Donald Trump believes Capitol rioters are ‘heroes and patriots’

Another ad, titled 'Knock Knock,' claimed that the former president had earlier refused "to rent his apartments to black families."

It also reportedly mentions how Trump had disrespected Barack Obama and never accepted him as the President of America.



 

Moreover, a prospective voter asserts in the advertisement, "Trump is currently indicating his desire to become a dictator. He claims he will tear up the constitution, and warns of a bloodbath if he loses again, as he did last time."

The second advertisement also criticized Trump for referring to the Capitol rioters as "heroes and patriots."

New York City Councilman Yusef Salaam, a member of the Central Park Five, conveyed through the Biden campaign, “I urge Black and Brown communities across the country: do not sit this election out. Our voices are powerful, our votes are crucial.”

“We must come together to ensure that a man like Donald Trump never steps foot in the White House again. Our future, our children’s future, and the very soul of our nation depend on it,” he added, as reported by The Hill.

Joe Biden to asked ‘stop race-baiting’

However, Janiyah Thomas, Black media director for the Trump campaign, hit back at Biden and his team, saying, “The Biden campaign is panicking because they see that Black voters aren’t buying what Biden is selling, and President Trump is receiving a record high support in the polls from Black voters that we haven’t seen in decades.”

Many people, like Thomas, blasted Biden on social media.

An X user tweeted, “This is a world record for disinformation in a 30-second video.”



 

Another user wrote, “The Bronx is gonna be amazing today! Scared Joey?”



 

One user commented, “Stop race-baiting.”



 

Another one said, “These are all clips taken out of context to generate blatant lies, and everyone knows it.”



 



 

“Spreading lies again,” a user remarked.
