Florida Sen. Marco Rubio will begin airing two new ads in Iowa on Friday that spotlight his stance on immigration and slam former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
One ad, titled “Happening,” portrays Bush as a desperate politician attempting to diminish Rubio’s chances of winning the White House.
“We all see what’s happening. Jeb Bush is desperate and spending millions on false attacks,” Rubio is shown saying in the ad. “Don’t fall for it. When I’m president, there will be no amnesty. I’ll cancel Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders, cut sanctuary city funding, and deport criminal aliens. We’ll add 20,000 border agents, finish all 700 miles of border wall, and if we aren’t 100 percent sure who you are and why you’re coming to America — you’re not getting in.”
Rubio’s other ad, titled “Support,” features an endorsement from the sister of Brian Terry, a murdered Border Patrol agent. Terry’s death came at the hands of drug traffickers using weapons obtained through Operation Fast and Furious, an Obama administration effort that became a major gun-walking scandal.
“For my family and millions of Americans, there is no greater priority than to ensure that our fellow Americans are safe so that no one else has to endure the same pain,” says Kelly Terry-Willis in the ad. “That’s why I’m proud to be supporting Marco Rubio. I know and trust that with Marco we will finally secure our border, and ensure that the men and women who served alongside Brian have the support from Washington they need.”
The two 30-second spots will air on broadcast and cable television in the Hawkeye State. Rubio ranks third in the Washington Examiner’s post-debate GOP presidential power rankings.
