Washington DC (CNN) Facebook has stopped the Trump campaign from running its racist anti-immigration commercial as an ad on the site. While the video is allowed to be posted on Facebook, it cannot receive paid distribution," Facebook said in a statement Monday afternoon. CNN had previously determined that the ad is racist and declined to sell airtime for it. The Trump campaign began running the ad on Facebook on Sunday, targeting voters in Florida and Arizona. A Facebook spokesperson said the ad had been allowed to run in error.
