President Donald Trump's reelection campaign claimed in a series of ads that the administration would "protect" Brazil's famous Christ the Redeemer statue from potential destruction by vandals. This comes as the president has aggressively campaigned against protesters who've torn down or vandalized American monuments and statues.
"The President wants to know who stood with him against the Radical Left," the Facebook and Instagram ads read. Under a photo of the iconic Rio de Janeiro statue, it said "WE WILL PROTECT THIS." It's unclear why the president believes he could protect a monument in a foreign country. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
