Backed by Military-Industrial Complex and Neocons, Clinton Goes Nuclear on Trump

The Democratic hopeful has released a new ad that warns of the possible nuclear consequences of a Trump presidency. It’s a curious choice, given Clinton’s own standing with prominent neoconservatives.

In 1964, Lyndon Johnson released a campaign ad that featured a 3-year-old girl casually picking flowers. Played by Monique Luiz, the “daisy girl” warned of a nuclear devastation if Republican rival Barry Goldwater were to win the election. Fifty-two years later, Luiz has now appeared in ad for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
