Meanwhile, NBC is under fire for airing a racist political ad paid for by President Donald Trump’s campaign during its broadcast of Sunday Night Football. The ad features a Mexican man—Luis Bracamontes—who was convicted of killing two California deputies earlier this year. In the ad, he’s seen smiling and saying, “I’m going to kill more cops soon.” The ad blames Democratic Party immigration policies for the killings. But The Sacramento Bee reports Bracamontes was deported during the Clinton administration and later returned to the U.S. during the George W. Bush administration. In the late 1990s, Bracamontes was arrested on drug charges in Phoenix, Arizona, but later released for “unknown reasons” under anti-immigrant Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
