Jim Lamon, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Arizona, is standing by his decision to run a political ad in which he shoots at President Joe Biden and other Democrats—and has mocked those who expressed outrage at the commercial.
In the ad, released on Thursday ahead of the Super Bowl this weekend, Lamon is dressed as a Western sheriff, facing down actors in cowboy costumes who are meant to be Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly.
"The good people of Arizona have had enough of you. It's time for a showdown," Lamon says in the ad.
When the three Democratic "cowboys" approach a ranch with guns, Lamon shoots at them, knocking their weapons out of their hands and forcing them to run away.
The ad sparked a backlash, especially because Kelly's wife, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, was shot in an assassination attempt in January 2011. The attack left Giffords with a brain injury and led her to becoming a vocal gun control advocate.
In a tweet on Thursday, Lamon appeared to stand by his commercial. "Left wing snowflakes can't stand the fact that, for once, AZ will have a Senator who will shoot straight with them & stop cowering to Biden," he wrote.

“[Snowflakes] feigned outrage over our new Super Bowl ad came right on cue—but I won’t be backing down.”
***He talks like a FReeper and is following the lessons that Trump generated: Doubling down gives you more publicity and ultimately will give you the election.
The only thing that would have made the ad better was if they could have used some of Ennio Morricone’s music.
Huckster more likely than patriot. Patriots don’t need to use such cheap click-bait-generating crap to get attention.
This doesn’t help at all.
I assume he’s running against other Republicans at this time. If so this could be a smart move. Definitely not in the general. Problem is that Kelly would bring it up should he get the nomination.
Watch the ad.

It’s the democRats that are brandishing weapons and acting in a threatening manor. They were the ones who drew first.
My first thought was FED QUISLING.
Pretty shocked that Freepers are shocked and trembling.
And for the most part, they get away with it.
I just watched the ad. That was AWESOME.
I seriously doubt Jim Lamon has the name recognition to get past Mark Brnovich in the primary. I also doubt Mark Brnovich will be able to defeat Kelly. The Maricopa, Pima, Yuma counties and Reservation votes along with the cemetery and mail-in ballots should be enough to keep Kelly in Washington.
For some reason, that ad reminded me of an old American Express ad with Tom Landry.

Couldn’t put that on TV today!.....................
Really? Brnovich is sitting on the investigation of the ballot harvesting and has all the evidence from True the Vote(?). Has had it for months now. He has 'name recognition' for failing to stop vote fraud. So far.
Stupid.
9 cops shot in Phoenix at 0200. I don’t think it’s been covered.
