Julián Castro Is Buying Ad Time on 'Fox and Friends' to Send a Message About Racism Directly to Donald Trump

Julián Castro Is Buying Ad Time on 'Fox and Friends' to Send a Message About Racism Directly to Donald Trump
Juliàn for the Future

Powerful.

Democratic presidential candidate Juliàn Castro has a message for President Donald Trump. And he thinks he knows the best way to send it.

Castro bought three ad spots for under $2,500 to air Wednesday on Fox News in New Jersey—where Trump is spending the week at his Trump International golf resort. The targeted program slot is during Fox & Friends.


His message?

In the ad shared by Castro on Twitter, the former Mayor of San Antonio and HUD Secretary under President Barack Obama stated:

"President Trump, you referred to countries as shitholes, you urged American Congresswomen to 'go back where they came from,' you called immigrants rapists."

Castro continued:

"As we saw in El Paso, Americans were killed because you stoked the fire of racists. Innocent people were shot down because they looked different from you. They looked like me, they looked like my family."

He ended by saying:

"Words have consequences. Ya basta."

Ya basta is a Spanish phrase equivalent  to telling someone "stop" or "enough already."

Reactions to the ad were mixed online—with accolades from some while Trump supporters decried the message—sparking debate in the comments.

While some seemed to confuse Juliàn with his Texas Democratic Representative brother Joaquin Castro.

According to Maya Rupert, Castro's campaign manager:

"Julián isn't afraid of Donald Trump or his bigoted agenda, and will continue to expose his racism and division until he defeats him next November."

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
