Trump ad that CNN refused to air gets prime time slot on NBC

US President Donald Trump first shared the anti-immigrant advertisement on Wednesday last week and it aired on NBC during Sunday Night Football
PUBLISHED NOV 5, 2018

A controversial political advertisement paid for by US President Donald Trump which CNN refused to air was aired during the NBC's prime-time commercial breaks for Sunday Night Football, according to reports.

The president first shared the anti-immigrant advertisement on Wednesday last week and it was later aired nearly two hours into the broadcast of Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers, the Huffington Post reported.

The advertisement appears to play on voters' fears of the Central American migrant caravan heading towards the United States border and urges Americans to vote for the Republican party in an effort to stop the migrant crowd at the border.
