Former President Donald Trump ’s late-campaign ads are littered with deceptively edited and misleadingly described quotations.

Multiple Trump ads omit critical words from quotes by and about Vice President Kamala Harris on the subject of tax policy.

Another ad takes an immigration-related quote from a 6-year-old news article way out of context, wrongly depicting it as a comment about the Biden-Harris administration.

One Trump ad has on-screen text saying, “Massive Layoffs Hit Michigan .” The ad didn’t mention the number of people employed in auto manufacturing in Michigan has increased by about 15% under the Biden-Harris administration.

The ad, criticizing Harris for her support for electric vehicles, attributes those words to a March 28 article in Newsweek .
