Robert Mercer is a cringe name to start with.  It would be hard to find another man who has done so much evil with his money.

But this one takes the cake.  Open Secrets has dug deep enough to discover that Mercer backed a secretive groups that worked with Facebook and Google to target anti-Muslim ads at swing voters.

And these ads were grotesque.

As the final weeks of the 2016 elections ticked down, voters in swing states like Nevada and North Carolina began seeing eerie promotional travel ads as they scrolled through their Facebook feeds or clicked through Google sites.

In one, a woman with a French accent cheerfully welcomes visitors to the “Islamic State of France,” where “under Sharia law,  you can enjoy everything the Islamic State of France has to offer, as long as you follow the rules.”

Others featured beheadings, brown children with assault rifles, and other “be afraid messages.

Mercer and his friends went to all kinds of trouble trying to hide it, but Open Secrets tracked them down.

It’s a good read.
