President Donald Trump’s campaign team has started releasing graphics in a desperate attempt to tie former Vice President Joe Biden to anything they consider negative, resulting in a racist graphic that is drawing condemnation across the Internet.
Biden is the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Trump fears Biden so much that he tried to extort Ukraine into opening a sham investigation against him in 2019, for which he was impeached.
But it appears the Trump campaign is launching some dirty tricks of their own, including racist dogwhistles.
An image released by Trump’s team shows what are purportedly two tattooed MS-13 gang members with printed words of support for Biden on the side.

Trump has repeatedly used MS-13 to scare people into supporting his racist anti-immigration agenda, which is why we now have kids in cages at the border.
Of course, MS-13 is not a major problem like Trump says it is, and MS-13 has certainly not endorsed Biden.
Enraged Twitter users voiced objections to the racist imagery.
So this is how its going to be. here we go.

This kind of dirty campaign tactic should cost Trump dearly in November, not only the votes of the Latino community but the votes of all Americans who believe our nation needs to move beyond racism.
