Gillespie’s Sanctuary Cities Ad Causes Northam Panic
Democrat Ralph Northam is begging voters not to believe Ed Gillespie’s latest ad targeting his record on sanctuary cities.
The Northam campaign is out with an ad in Roanoke saying Ed Gillespie’s new ad slamming Northam for supporting sanctuary cities in Virginia “isn’t true.”
The panicked turnaround of this hastily cut spot shows the Gillespie campaign has found a message they know hurts Northam. It’s a testament to the disciplined campaign being run by the team.
But you’ll notice that even in his attempted refutation of the Gillespie ad, Ralph Northam doesn’t address the central fact. Ralph Northam cast the deciding vote against a bill that would ban sanctuary cities in Virginia.
So Ralph’s ad totally misses the point. If Ralph Northam is governor and an illegal immigrant commits a violent crime in Virginia, he or she is free to remain on the streets after they’ve served their time. Ed Gillespie would make sure state and local law enforcement cooperate with the federal government to make sure they are deported.
It’s a clear contrast between Gillespie’s law and order campaign message versus Ralph Northam’s risky policies.
Watch Gillespie Dropkick Northam In POWERFUL First Ad
Gillespie is up in the first true ad of the gubernatorial campaign with a powerful ad focusing on law and order — issues that ring true on immigration, Antifa, and gang violence where Northam campaign is not only weak, but Northam’s base is divided six ways to Sunday.
“The first job of a governor is to ensure public safety; keeping communities, schools, businesses and public gathering places safe. Ralph Northam’s policy in favor of sanctuary cities in our Commonwealth will not make Virginians safer,” said campaign manager Chris Leavitt. “Ed is proud to be the son of an immigrant, and knows we can both welcome legal immigrants and enforce our laws at the same time. As governor, Ed will stand with our law enforcement and first responders, protect Virginia from those who wish to do us harm, ensure that sanctuary cities that are a safe haven for violent criminals here illegally are never allowed in the Commonwealth, and combat violent gangs like MS-13 that The Washington Post recently reported as seeing a ‘resurgence’ in the state. Ed included a ban on sanctuary cities in his detailed plan to combat gangs.”
That sure as hell beats statues, transgenders, and pipelines.
