“Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran (R) released an immigration ad so racist this week that at least one publication is comparing it to the 1915 pro-KKK film Birth of a Nation.
In a campaign-style ad paid for by Corcoran’s Watchdog PAC, a white woman is seen texting and walking down a street when a hooded, bearded man walks by, draws a gun, and turns around. He shoots her. As this scene unfolds, an ominous voice narrates that the woman was “gunned down by an illegal immigrant who should have been deported but was protected by a sanctuary city.”
Corcoran comes on in the next scene and says that the portrayal was reminiscent of the death of Kate Steinle, a 32-year-old woman who was shot and killed in San Francisco in 2015 by an undocumented immigrant.
“This could have happened to any family, anywhere,” Corcoran said. “Incredibly, some Tallahassee politicians want to make Florida a sanctuary state. On my watch, Florida would never be a sanctuary state. ”
