Exonerated “Central Park Five” member #Yusef #Salaam issued a statement on social media mimicking a full-page ad that Donald Trump issued 36 years ago that has become a flashpoint in Trump's political rise.
Salaam's open letter refers to an ad Trump placed in several New York newspapers in 1989, calling for the state to bring back the death penalty and strengthen policing in the city after the brutal beating and rape of a female jogger in Central Park.Salaam and four friends, known as the "Central Park Five," were falsely accused of the crime and imprisoned.
“Over 30 years ago, Donald Trump took out full page ads calling for my execution,” Salaam tweeted.
“On the day he was arrested and arraigned, here is my ad in response.”
