As Virginia’s heated gubernatorial election draws near, a Democratic group on Monday released an ad featuring a pick-up truck flying a Confederate flag and sporting a bumper sticker for Republican Ed Gillespie chasing a group of minority children.

The minute-long spot from the Latino Victory Fund ends with the children waking up from a nightmare and adults watching footage on television of torch-bearing white nationalists marching in Charlottesville

“Is this what Donald Trump and Ed Gillespie mean by the American dream?” the narrator says.

The commercial, which the Latino Victory Fund says is airing through Election Day on Spanish-language stations in Richmond and Washington market, is the latest in a bitter battle on the airwaves.
