A Missouri Republican with a history of attention-seeking political stunts is promising to “crack down on illegal immigration” in a widely derided ad loaded with racist stereotypes.
“We’re throwing them in jail and sending them back where they come from,” GOP candidate for governor Bill Eigel says in an ad while standing next to a Spanish “translator.”
Over a trumpet riff, the translator says “ay caramba” while grabbing the sides of his head.
The ad flashes “no more illegal immigrants” as a voiceover says Looney Tunes character Speedy Gonzales’ catchphrase “andele, andele, arriba, arriba.”
