The ads are funded by chairman of the white nationalist American Freedom Party.

William Johnson, founder of the American National Super PAC and chairman of the white nationalist American Freedom Party, plans to run the ads in select swing states to gain more supporters for his candidates, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

"Do you want a strong leader who will secure our borders and stop the flow of illegal aliens and radical Islamic terrorists?... Do you want a president who will safeguard the interests of Christians?" the ad asks, according to the Times.

The previous Republican primary featured the voice of white nationalists Jared Taylor saying:

“We don’t need Muslims. We need smart, well-educated white people who will assimilate to our culture. Vote Trump.”

"Do you want a strong leader who will secure our borders and stop the flow of illegal aliens and radical Islamic terrorists?... Do you want a president who will safeguard the interests of Christians?"
