In a campaign marked by one shameless act after another desperately seeking traction, JD Vance releases an ad that starts with, “Are you a racist? Do you hate Mexicans?” And ends with blaming the border for his mother’s long-term addictions. pic.twitter.com/vnSw7P5wFh

In the ad, Vance says:
Are you a racist? Do you hate Mexicans? The media calls us racist for wanting to build Trump's wall. They censor us, but it doesn't change the truth. Joe Biden's open border is killing Ohioans with more illegal drugs and more Democrat voters pouring into this country. This issue is personal. I nearly lost my mother to the poison coming across our border. No child should grow up an orphan. I'm J.D. Vance and I approve this message because whatever they call us, we will put America first.This is the standard Republican line on the border and drug, with a personal twist -- but note the other familiar Republican talking point in the ad: the notion that undocumented immigrants automatically become "Democrat voters." This is one of the lies undergirding Donald Trump's so-called Big Lie. Trump talks about fake ballots and other forms of nonexistent election skulduggery, but he finds a receptive audience because Republican politicians and pundits have been telling the base for years that every "illegal" who crosses the border is instantly signed up as a voter by the "Democrat Party," with stolen elections as an inevitable consequence.There's never any evidence presented for this assertion, but every rank-and-file Republican voter "knows" it's true.
And notice what's "killing Ohioans": two things -- "illegal drugs" and "Democrat voters." Who nearly killed J.D. Vance's mother? You did, hippie.
In fact, overdose deaths in all four years of the Trump presidency exceeded those in previous years:
Facts don't matter. They hate us. They think we're murderers.
