Media Wrongly Claim Trump Ad Pushed to Execute 'Innocent Children'

Since Donald Trump began his run for President in June 2015, parts of the dominant liberal media have repeatedly parroted the incorrect claim that, in 1989, Trump ran a newspaper ad in which he urged the execution of a group of young black and Hispanic teens who ended up eventually being proven "innocent" in spite of confessing to the infamous rape and beating of a Central Park jogger that year.

In fact, the ad in question did not specify that the Central Park Five should be executed as it came at a time when the death penalty was illegal in New York. There had been a push for the state legislature to enact a new law to reinstate capital punishment which would require overriding the veto of then-Democratic Governor Mario Cuomo -- who had vetoed a death penalty bill a month before the attack.

The defendants could not have been sentenced to capital punishment since it was not an option at the time of the crime.

Additionally, when Trump was asked about the ad in May 1989 on Larry King Live, CNN claims he stated that he only supported the death penalty for adults -- which would have excluded the Central Park Five because they were all between the ages of 14 and 16.

(CNN)Donald Trump this week stood by his controversial role in pushing for the death penalty following New York City's infamous 1989 "Central Park Five" case, telling CNN's Miguel Marquez, "They admitted they were guilty."

In an interview with Larry King in 1989 unearthed from CNN's archives, Trump laid out his position, telling King, "maybe hate is what we need if we're gonna get something done." Delivering a similar message to one he takes on the campaign trail today, Trump also advocated for more protections for police.

The case involved five teenage boys of color, who were wrongly accused and convicted of beating and raping a woman in Central Park. Trump purchased full-page ads that ran in several New York City newspapers that read,"Bring Back The Death Penalty. Bring Back Our Police!"

In the interview with King, Trump defended the ads.

"I don't see anything inciteful, I am strongly in favor of the death penalty," Trump told King. "I am also in favor bringing back police forces that can do something instead of turning their back because every quality lawyer that represents people that are trouble, the first thing they do is start shouting police brutality, etc."

The Central Park Five Ad Told Us Who Donald Trump Really Is


On May 1, 1989, Donald Trump published an ad in the New York Daily News calling for the state to kill five schoolchildren. None of the “Central Park Five” were older than 16.

Didn't BJ Clinton when he was governor of Arkansas, oversee the execution of Ricky Ray Rector, a man so mentally disabled that he said he would save the pecan pie from his last meal for later?

He may well have wanted that, but I am also sure he knew there was no chance of that happening.

Rector killed a cop. A lot of people here are happy to see the death penalty in cases like that and probably congratulated Clinton.

Trump kept saying the boys were guilty AFTER they were proven innocent.. He doubled down.. and much later claimed he was misunderstood. He's a pig, Havana.

Yes no doubt, but then so was BJ who was far more concerned about the election than that poor bastard's life. Birds of a feather, don't you think?

Remember Ricky Ray Rector? He was the poor SOB with an IQ of about 70, who was put to death by the State of Arkansas in 1992. Governor Bill Clinton flew home off the campaign trail to supervise the state’s murder, so that he could show the voting public that he was just as capable of ruthless ugliness in the name of serving his own interests as any Republican ever was. Americans like that in a president. We like our president to be just like us – not some elite snob with that whole ethics thing going on, or all that other effete East Coast superiority shit (see, for example: “Bush, George W.”). Anyway, poor Ricky Ray was so out of it that, just before they fried him, he asked the prison guards if they would save the pecan pie from his last meal so that he could have it “later”. Didn’t matter to Wild Bill. He made a public spectacle of flipping the switch on a guy who didn’t have a clue of what was about to hit him. (And why not, either? So some dummy on death row had to die for him to get to the White House – so what? What’s wrong with that?

Clinton? No .. He and Trump are NOTHING alike.

Clinton is well educated and an excellent speaker and has some ideals. He was also charming.. He was flawed certainly, but nothing like Trump who calls women dogs and pigs and talks about grabbing them by their genitals.
