A new Republican PAC aired an ad during Thursday's Democratic debate. In it the ad opens with a photos of Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez which bursts into flames revealing a pile of skulls.
It goes on to compares the freshman Democrat’s support of democratic socialism to the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia that killed up to 2 million of its own citizens.“This is the face of socialism and ignorance,” the narrator intones. “Does Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez know the horror of socialism?”
The ad was funded by a newly formed Republican PAC and narrated by a recently defeated California GOP candidate. New Faces GOP is a PAC that aims to bring candidates "from all races, ethnicities, gender, or geography” to the Republican Party.
The founder and failed candidate is of Cambodian heritage.
This is an appalling new low in American politics. Why ABC permitted it to air is equally appalling.“My father was minutes away from death in Cambodia,” Heng says. “That’s socialism. Forced obedience, starvation.”
