Talk of a Trump "scandal" hit the Washington and New York press corps this weekend, as "bombshell" videos of President Trump's father Fred Trump "emerged" showing "racist" ads the elder Trump made during a 1969 run for Mayor of New York City.
The videos were shared by The Washington Post's fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, on Twitter, and quickly spread by re-tweets by reporters from multiple publications.
Here's the report describes the "ads":
In 1969, Fred Trump plotted to run for mayor of New York … He made two test television commercials. One of them, called ‘Dope Man’, featured a drug-addled black youth wandering the streets. ‘With four more years of John Lindsay,’ the narrator intoned, ‘he will be coming to your neighbourhood soon.’ The ad flashed to the anxious faces of two well-dressed white women. ‘Vote for Fred Trump. He’s for us.’The other commercial, ‘Real New Yorkers’, showed scenes of ‘real’ people from across the city, all of them white. Fred Trump, the narrator said, ‘is a real New Yorker too’. In the end he didn’t run, but his campaign themes were bequeathed to his son.

Sorry, but more people will think it’s REAL!!! This is NOT funny anymore.
This is all ‘fake news’ Fred Trump did not run for Mayor, Governor or anything else, and he didn’t make any ads...
And why in the hell would anyone bring up a Sitting President’s father who is dead but the ‘fake news’ media and the ‘insane’ left idiots...
Really people, you need to find a REAL JOB!!!
This was tried during the campaign, around December 2015 is I remember correctly. It is complete BS!
The keep trotting out the same BS hoping something will stick. Shows they got nothing.
The problem is that the ads were honest..?
I don’t get it.
I vote for his dad, too..!
FAKE NEWS!
.....time for Trump lawyers to look into it big time
WaPo is a bordello staffed by presstitutes.
Exactly! How is this not criminal fraud by Sid Blumenthal?
Actually, they need to check into a FUNNY FARM .. maybe they can find their sanity there.
If this is true, the media sucked the big one.
In 1969, I was hoping conservative Republican John Marchi would be elected mayor of New York City, but the Big Town has too many liberals, and Republican mayor John Lindsay, whose political views were similar to those of George McGovern was re-elected. It was said at the time that Lindsay benefited from euphoria among New Yorkers after the Jets won the Super Bowl followed by the Mets winning the World Series.
Unfortunately you are correct. This will believed at least by Dems and not just SJWs, thus making any kind of serious exchange of ideas impossible. BTW love your tag line. Used to get many of my former colleagues in NYC school I taught enraged when I would tell them that all religions, even secular ones, need sacraments. Unfortunately they had chosen human sacrifice for theirs.
Would it not be heavenly to see Sid Vicious in an orange jump suit?
Since when does the MSM care whether something bad they report about Republicans is true or not?
I would give the maximum donation if someone would convince Fred to actually run this time.
Even if it were true...and it’s not...do the RATS really want to play a game of ‘Sins Of The Father’...Barry and Bubba have nothing to brag about in that dept.
“Read the article. The ad was created by an art collective sometime in the 90’s”
