Arizona’s Jim Lamon, who is running for the U.S. Senate, just released a new campaign ad for the Super Bowl and liberals are already losing their minds over it. This from therightscoop.com.
Watch:
The ad is clever and seems to be nonproblematic, despite the democrat-communists’ protestations. Whether you know anything about Lamon or not, this is an effective ad and there’s nothing controversial about it.
But according to The Hill, liberals (and at least one Republican) are racing to condemn it:
The ad immediately prompted backlash online, given that Kelly’s wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) was shot during an assassination attempt in 2011. Giffords suffered a severe brain injury as a result and has since become one of the most prominent gun-control activists in the country.
The 30-second ad features actors depicting Kelly, Joe-Joe Biden, and Speaker Drunken Nan Pelosi (D-CA).
“The good people of Arizona have had enough of you, it’s time for a showdown,” Lamon, who plays himself in the ad, says.
The democrat figures then draw their weapons and Lamon shoots at them, prompting them to run away.
“DISGUSTING: Former Rep. Gabby Giffords was shot and seriously wounded 10 years ago. Her husband’s Republican US Senate opponent, [Jim Lamon], just put out an ad in which he shoots Mark Kelly and other Democrat leaders,” tweeted Shannon Watts, founder of the gun control group Moms Demand Action.
The former executive director of the Arizona Republican Party, Brian Murray, called Lamon’s ad his “most pathetic ad” yet.
“I think when he loses he should start producing used car commercials. He’s perfect for that, and that ain’t no bull!” Murray said in a tweet.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) also reacted to the tweet.
“Republicans don’t have any ideas to help you. And they can’t win elections. So they’ve gone all in on using violence as a path to power. RT if you’re choosing #VotesOverViolence this Fall,” Swalwell said in his own tweet.
Lamon doesn’t shoot ‘Biden’ or ‘Pelosi’ or ‘Kelly’, he simply shoots their weapons out of their hands in the ad.
It’s an old west style showdown and these idiots criticizing it need to get a life. This has nothing to do with Gabby Giffords being shot. It’s just a fun political metaphor.
What say you Def-Con News readers? An effective ad?
The only improvement I would recommend for Jim Lamon is an AR-15 .223 or .350 pistol with a front handle, Red Dot optics, and a strap over his right shoulder—more in tune with what he’ll need in D.C. and more up to date.
However, it appears ‘Kelly’ was holding an 1860 Henry Repeating Rifle. Shame, though, it now has a bullet nick in it and it’s been dropped in the dirt.
