Univision anchor Jorge Ramos has decried the Obama campaign’s use of his likeness in a political ad. According to Fox News Latino:
At the end of his Sunday night program, Al Punto, Ramos spent 30 seconds rebuking the partisan ad he says misused his image for political gain.
"I want to make clear that I reject the use of my likeness and that of Noticias Univisión in any election campaign," he said in his statement. "We have let the Obama campaign and the White House know, and we want to leave a public notice of our disagreement."
The Spanish-language ad, entitled "It Wasn't Easy," backs Obama's Healthcare Reform Bill. Within the first seven second, there is a clip of Ramos anchoring a news segment.
The new ad is part of a $4 million Spanish-language campaign push to attract Latino voters and was paid for by Priorites USA Action and the SEIU. Fox News Latino reports the union’s political wing has "given a combined $1 million to Priorities USA Action during the current election cycle."
