The federal court ruled last week that select anti-Muslim bus ads are not allowed on buses in Washington state.
The proposed ad, which is running on buses in other states, shows photos of wanted terrorists and falsely claims the FBI is offers=ing a $25 million reward for one of their captures.
The American Freedom Defense Initiative tried to launch the ad campaign in King County and has said they will repeal the court decision.
The court said the ad was rejected because it’s message was false and violates policy:
“The FBI is not offering rewards at all, and the State Department offers a reward of at most $5 million, not $25 million, for the capture of one of the pictured terrorists,” the court said.
Embarrassing. Oof. Such ugly fear-mongering.
