Democrat candidate for Virginia governor Ralph Northam is not distancing himself from the controversial ad suggesting supporters of Republican candidate Ed Gillespie are seen as Confederates who attack minority children.
The new opposition ad titled “American Nightmare” was released Monday by Democrat group Latino Victory Fund (LVF) and is scheduled to run through Election Day. The opposition ad shows minority children seemingly being chased by a driver in a pickup truck, decked out with a Confederate flag, a “Gillespie for governor” bumper sticker and a “Don’t tread on me” license plate.
The driver makes his way toward the scared children who shout, “Run! Run! Run!” when they see the truck. The ad concludes with a scene of a Charlottesville-like rally, with a narrator asking: “Is this what Donald Trump and Ed Gillespie mean by the ‘American Dream?’”
In a statement to Fox News, Gillespie’s campaign manager Chris Leavitt called the latest ad part of “a desperate smear campaign” against Gillespie.
“This is not an attack on Ed Gillespie anymore. This is an all-out attack on the people of Virginia,” Leavitt told Fox News.

Apparently they didn't learn anything from Hillary's deplorables.
He's another dirtball Democrat out of the Schumer-Pelosi Durbin-Schiff mold.
Even the Wacko Warren is not a bad as that quartet.
Tells you everything you need to know about the Democrats.
We're I a Virginia voter I'd vote for Gillespie just because of that commercial and the shortage of ethical sense by his opponent.
Testing the water see what will work in the future!
I'd vote for Gillespie just on principle, which the Dems seem short on.
These Democrats are the worst politicians. They are NASTY politicians.
Any Democrat with morals would be outraged at this. What ever happened to the true Democrats of the past.
