Julián Castro Is Buying Ad Time on 'Fox and Friends' to Send a Message About Racism Directly to Donald Trump
13 August 2019
Juliàn for the Future
Democratic presidential candidate Juliàn Castro has a message for President Donald Trump. And he thinks he knows the best way to send it.
Castro bought three ad spots for under $2,500 to air Wednesday on Fox News in New Jersey—where Trump is spending the week at his Trump International golf resort. The targeted program slot is during Fox & Friends.
<p>His message?</p><p>In the ad shared by Castro on Twitter, the former Mayor of San Antonio and HUD Secretary under President Barack Obama stated:</p><blockquote>"President Trump, you referred to countries as shitholes, you urged American Congresswomen to '<a href="https://thesocialedgen.wpengine.com/news/politics/washington-post-trump-racist-trope-twitter/">go back</a> where they came from,' you called immigrants rapists."</blockquote><p>Castro continued:</p><blockquote>"As we saw in El Paso, <a href="https://thesocialedgen.wpengine.com/news/politics/trump-poses-baby-survived-el-paso-domestic-terrorism/">Americans were killed</a> because you <a href="https://thesocialedgen.wpengine.com/news/politics/jasper-curt-brockway-assault-president-trump-defense/">stoked the fire of racists</a>. Innocent people were shot down because they looked different from you. They looked like me, they looked like my family."</blockquote><p>He ended by saying:</p><blockquote>"Words have consequences. Ya basta."</blockquote><p>Ya basta is a Spanish phrase equivalent to telling someone "stop" or "enough already."</p><p>Watch the ad here.</p><p></p><div id="5557f" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="OIJ1DS1574968261"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1161246017787793409" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">A message for @realdonaldtrump: https://t.co/WFYRxm69hA</div> — Julián Castro (@Julián Castro)<a href="https://twitter.com/JulianCastro/statuses/1161246017787793409">1565697600.0</a></blockquote></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div id="51409" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="RPVFOB1574968261"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1161278238548746245" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">.@JulianCastro rips @realDonaldTrump in TV ad that will air on Fox News in market where president is vacationing https://t.co/hm1qls1WXh</div> — Tom Benning (@Tom Benning)<a href="https://twitter.com/tombenning/statuses/1161278238548746245">1565705282.0</a></blockquote></div><p></p><p></p><p>Reactions to the ad were mixed online—with accolades from some while Trump supporters decried the message—sparking debate in the comments.</p><p></p><div id="ddc14" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="MN25XS1574968262"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1161263173032452098" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">@JulianCastro @realDonaldTrump Well said sir.</div> — David Weissman (@David Weissman)<a href="https://twitter.com/davidmweissman/statuses/1161263173032452098">1565701690.0</a></blockquote></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div id="833fe" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="ROD7VG1574968262"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1161262983626010626" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">@JulianCastro @realDonaldTrump Not gonna lie, I'm sort of crushing on Julian Castro 😍</div> — Jaime Lee Lord (@Jaime Lee Lord)<a href="https://twitter.com/jaimeleelord/statuses/1161262983626010626">1565701645.0</a></blockquote></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><div id="8f712" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="MTRP8U1574968262"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-twitter-tweet-id="1161306217299374081" data-partner="rebelmouse"><div style="margin:1em 0">@Iron_Jingleen @AZHokie54 @jaimeleelord @JulianCastro @realDonaldTrump Stalinists?
