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.
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. Their feigned outrage over our new Super Bowl ad came right on cue—but I won’t be backing down. https://t.co/PpxzN6eqpf

He shot himself in the foot.
Okay ad but I’m still leaning towards Blake Masters.
No. 911 caller said female shot. Officers arrived. Male caller opened fire
Ambush?....................
I don’t think he is a fool. It’s clearly parody. Foolish is being terrified to be funny and amusing and creative because the snowflake tittybabies will get mad.
Here’s a clue, no matter what we do, they won’t suddenly think we are good guys. They will bitch about something else anyway so we might as well do as we please. Never tailor our humor to fit the communist rules. They more angry they get, the more on target it was.
Yes. 9.
And in addition:
3 officers shot in Maryland
1 officer shot in Philadelphia
“Huckster more likely than patriot. Patriots don’t need to use such cheap click-bait-generating crap to get attention.”
W? Is that you??
The objective is to win. Snowflakes vote. This ad does not further the cause of Constitutional victory.
