Trump campaign used word 'invasion' in more than 2,000 Facebook ads
The shooting suspect in El Paso, Texas, warned of an “invasion” in a racist internet screed before allegedly killing 22 people.
Another person fond of the term: President Donald Trump, whose re-election campaign published more than 2,000 Facebook ads using the word “invasion” since January, according to the New York Times.

Trump's ads have come under closer scrutiny this week following Saturday's mass shooting. The Timesreports that Trump's re-election campaign has spent close to $1.25 million on anti-immigration ads since March 2019, per a report from the Democratic communications firm Bully Pulpit Interactive.

But the very long list of racist comments in his past expose some serious cognitive dissonance. Now we’ll see if a white supremacist mass murderer using the word "invasion" is enough to stop Trump from using it in his Facebook ads.
