The ads were published on Wednesday by Team Trump on a platform that seeks the reelection of Mr Trump and his Vice, Mike Pence.
The platform ran a collective total 88 of the ads for between 1.3 and 1.7 million impressions before they were pulled Thursday.
“In a situation where we don’t see either of those, we don’t allow it on the platform and we remove it. That’s what we saw in this case with this ad, and anywhere that that symbol is used, we would take the same action,” Mr Gleicher said. The ads were accompanied with text that warned of “dangerous MOBS of far-left groups” and implored readers to sign a petition indicating their opposition to Antifa.While Facebook argued the ads violated the company’s policy against organised hate,Trump campaign’s communications director, Tim Murtaugh, argued otherwise.
The Trump campaign responded by portraying the symbol as both an innocent emoji and one ‘widely used’ by Antifa. A reverse image search of the symbol, however, returns no results other than those used recently by the Trump campaign.
