As Twitchy told you yesterday, a group supporting Democrat Ralph Northam for Virginia governor released an ad that has been slammed for its depiction of a person driving a truck with an Ed Gillespie sticker on it trying to run down minority children:
This ad from the Latino Victory Fund in #VAGov features a Gillespie supporter chasing immigrant children. https://t.co/J04BRlODHn

The Gillespie campaign responded:

The director of the Center for American Progress defended the ad on Tucker Carlson’s show last night, much to the host’s astonishment:
"You're defending an ad that has a racist driving a truck with an @EdWGillespie sticker on it, trying to murder children?" #Tucker pic.twitter.com/h19lYOFWVv

Wow.
The ends justify the means to them. If it blows up on them the say it was taken out of context. Pathetic people with no real morals.
