Leaders demand media drop Secoriea Turner political ad

In the meantime, a group of Georgia clergy and labor leaders want to turn up the heat tonight on the Rick Jackson campaign and the news media. The concerned black clergy and others say that they're going to boycott local television and radio stations if they continue to play political ads detailing the death of Atlanta eight-year-old Sequoia Turner. Let's get out to Fox 5's Angelique Proctor, who joins us now live with more on this developing story. Angelique? Good evening to you both. These community organizations now turning their attention to the media, claiming they will silence television stations and radio stations that continue to run this ad dealing with the death of Sequoia Turner, even though broadcast stations have no choice in the matter. Sequoia was killed when a group of vigilante gunmen concerned black clergy, the NAACP, other community organizations, and the attorneys for the Sequoia attorney family say the Rick Jackson ad dealing with the death of Turner is not only inhumane, but exploitative and goes too far. they now want to hold the media accountable for the ad they are fundraising they are building on a commerce on the blood of this child and it's wrong and we're standing here to say that it must stop and this is our message to our friends in the media if you do not demand that they send you another if you do not silence it then we have no other choice than to preach from our pulpits, to silence you, to cut you off. The eight-year-old was killed by armed vigilantes when Keisha Lance Bottoms was mayor. Critics say Bottoms didn't command order, but these community organizations say the ad must go. You owe this mother and the community of Atlanta and Georgia the decency to take down this ad. The only thing he has done is stolen their image, their pain, their tragedy, and used it for his political gain. Now we want to make it clear that the Federal Communications Commission does not allow broadcast stations to censor or reject political ads. That is the very latest in Buckhead.
