The ad features an inverted red-and-black triangle to symbolize the far left extremist group Antifa, which uses the red-and-black color scheme in their badges, flags, and propaganda as a form of ideological identification.
The ad reads:
Dangerous MOBS of far-left groups are running through our streets and causing absolute mayhem. They are DESTROYING our cities and rioting – it’s absolute madness.
It’s important that EVERY American comes together at a time like this to send a united message that we will not stand for their radical actions any longer. We’re calling on YOU to make a public statement and add your name to stand with President Trump against ANTIFA.
Please add your name IMMEDIATELY to stand with your President and his decision to declare ANTIFA a Terrorist Organization.
The Silicon Valley giant told far left outlet New York Daily News, “We removed these posts and ads for violating our policy against organized hate. Our policy prohibits using a banned hate group’s symbol to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol.”
The Silicon Valley giant apparently did not consider the fact that the symbol is widely used by Antifa.
According to Tim Murtaugh, Trump Campaign's director of communications, "The inverted red triangle is a symbol used by Antifa, so it was included in an ad about Antifa. We would note that Facebook still has an inverted red triangle emoji in use, which looks exactly the same, so it's curious that they would target only this ad."
President Trump and his supporters have long charged that big tech companies censor conservative voices on their platforms. They allege that these companies are doing everything they can to defeat the president and help democrats win in the upcoming November elections.
Recent reports have revealed that Facebook's Fact-Checker 'Lead Stories' is staffed by exclusively democrat party donors, CNN Staffers, and 'Defeat Trump' activists.
While Twitter has censored some of Trump's tweets, Facebook has before today strayed away from pulling down or fact-checking ads from the Trump campaign.
President Trump has recently denounced Antifa as 'domestic terrorists.' Following the death of George Floyd, weeks-long riots by Antifa and 'Black Lives Matter' groups, have devolved into violence and looting in democrat-run cities across the United States.
