The ads are a direct attack against Trump’s failed response to the coronavirus pandemic, Hurricane María, and Latino workers.  

While there have been reports that the Joe Biden presidential campaign isn’t doing much to reach out to Latino voters, new Spanish-language ads aim to prove otherwise.

On Sept. 12, the Biden campaign released four new Spanish-language ads that show the damage President Donald Trump has inflicted on the Latino community. 

The ads are a direct attack against Trump’s failed response to the coronavirus pandemic, Hurricane Maria, and Latino workers. The ads also address the misinformation from Trump’s recent Spanish ads that play on Latino stereotypes.

Over the summer, President Trump previously released Spanish-language ads aimed at stereotyping Latinos by their accents. The “Latinos for Trump” ads were directed mainly at Cuban Americans, Mexican Americans, and Puerto Ricans, particularly in battleground state Florida

One such ad titled “Carmen y Araceli” featured two women with a marked Mexican accent talking about Goya Foods. One woman said, “¡A mí ningún güero me quita mis tacos!” or “No gringo will take away my tacos!” The ad also claimed that Democrats were trying to burn the Virgin Mary. According to the Biden campaign, his Spanish ads were narrated by Spanish speakers with Mexican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican accents.
