Republican Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake denounced a new campaign ad from President Donald Trump ahead of next week’s midterm elections.
The video featured illegal immigrant Luis Bracamontes — who laughed in court about killing two police officers in 2014 — and blamed Democrats for letting him into the country.
Trump tweeted out the ad Wednesday, which spliced clips of Bracamontes with footage from the migrant caravan.

Flake, whose term ends in January and who is not running for re-election, took a public stand against the ad, which he described as “sickening.” (RELATED: Tom Steyer Runs Facebook Ad Comparing Trump To Saddam Hussein)

“This is a sickening ad. Republicans everywhere should denounce it,” Flake wrote on Twitter Thursday.
Flake previously blamed his frigid relationship with the president for his decision not to run for re-election.
