“The ads have also used video footage of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, overlaid with a headline about Mangi. They demanded that Mangi share his personal views on the 9/11 attack.”

This literally happens in The Campaign. Will Ferrell’s character puts out an ad that accuses Zach Galafianakis’s character of having ties to terrorism on account of his beard and demands to know where he was on 9/11.
