Congressional Black Caucus PAC launches ad in swing New York district highlighting Trump's lie about Haitian immigrants

The Congressional Black Caucus Political Action Committee has launched a five-figure digital advertising campaign on Monday in New York’s fourth congressional district urging Haitian Americans to vote this November “in an act of unity against bigoted attacks,” according to a source who shared the plans with NBC News.

WASHINGTON — The Congressional Black Caucus Political Action Committee launched a five-figure digital advertising campaign Monday in New York’s 4th Congressional District urging Haitian Americans to vote in November “in an act of unity against bigoted attacks,” according to a source who shared the plans with NBC News. 

The district is one where Democrats hope to flip control from Republicans in their bid to take the majority of the House.

As part of the effort, the group, often referred to as CBC PAC, has put out a new ad titled “Unity” that is narrated by a Haitian American woman and features former President Donald Trump’s past statements referring to African nations and Haiti as “shithole countries” and repeating lies accusing Haitians of abusing and eating animals in Springfield, Ohio. 

The ad will target voters across the New York district, where Trump is scheduled to campaign this week. The effort is part of a nationwide push by the CBC PAC to reach Black voters in battleground congressional districts where it believes Black voters will be key to securing wins.

“Every day between now and Election Day, Haitian Americans are going to hear a message of unity from the party of progress, inclusion, and the American dream — that is the Democratic Party,” Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., who is chairman of the CBC PAC, said in a statement. “While Republicans seek to divide our communities by creating wild conspiracies and disrespecting our cultures, Democrats are working hard to make the American dream possible for all.”
