Trump administration’s social media posts ahead of elections criticized for being inflammatory

The Trump administration’s online accounts have circulated images of a pumpkin carved with a somberro design and a fake Halloween-themed background around a Black man apparently accused of food assistance fraud. The posts come only days before the midterm elections as the government spotlights its fraud crackdown and aggressive immigration enforcement.

He is holding aloft what appears to be a bill set aflame. Both posts drew outrage from critics online.
