Justin Fareed’s shadowy and fear-mongering political ads are lifted from the Trump playbook and mindset.
The ad’s hidden message: immigrant gangs and hordes of illegals are coming to get Santa Barbara residents and they are already in the neighborhood — Psst, they will jump out from the bushes, parks, and alleys.
Fareed “hires” deputies from the Santa Barbara County sheriff’s association as props to underscore the fear-mongering and blow into the familiar dog whistles.
Fareed’s underlying ad message: A vote for Salud Carbajal will mean anarchy in the streets with the brown hordes in control and crime soaring.
Santa Barbara is better than this Fareed-Trump-inspired political ad smut.
If Carbajal’s campaign ads stoop this low, I will be voting for neither Fareed nor Carbajal.
