Blue Lives Matter

An image of police saluting a fallen comrade and a flag-draped casket blames a “Black Lives Matter” activist for “another gruesome attack on police.” The fine print, however, describes a Boston “gun battle” in which officers were shot and critically injured — making it unclear whose funeral is being depicted. In any case, the ad warns that Hillary Clinton is “the main hardliner against cops” and says that “among all the candidates Donald Trump is the one and only who can defend the police from terrorists.”

‘Buff Bernie’ coloring book

This ad promoted a coloring book called “Buff Bernie,” filled with “very attractive doodles of Bernie Sanders in muscle poses.” It added that “I’ve recently heard some hateful comments from the Hillary supporters about Bernie Sanders and his supporters” — language aimed at stirring up the kinds of intra-party divisions that would later flare after the first release of Russian-hacked Democratic Party documents during the summer of 2016.

Trump is ‘Not My President’

Created the day after the election, this ad proclaimed that “racism won, ignorance won, sexual assault won” and invited people to a rally in New York City’s Union Square where they could “march against Trump.” The ad may not have been necessary — Trump’s critics turned out en masse for rallies much like this during that weekend.

Bernie Sanders: Clinton Foundation is a ‘Problem’

This ad, from around the time when Hillary Clinton secured the Democratic nomination, cites Sanders’ criticism of donations given to the Clinton Foundation — but it also goes beyond Sanders’ rhetoric by calling the foundation “an ‘organized crime at it’s finest [sic].” It also accuses Clinton of disregarding the rights of women, gays and lesbians in foreign countries. It finishes: “So, why are so many people going to vote for her?”
