AZ Sen.Mark Kelly's thuglican opponent "shoots" him and other Democratic leaders in new ad with gun.

I won't link to the ad, but instead will link to donation page for Mark Kelly. I am sure you can find it if you want to view it. I won't be responsible for giving a nutbag lurker his or her or their jollies.

Opponent's name is Jim Lamon.

OMG, Gabby.

Edited to add: This is intended by Lamon to be a superbowl ad. Who paid for that?

Update: Ad seems to have been removed from Mr. Lamon's twitter page. Don't know about Superbowl yet.

They can't hear you if you don't speak up. If they won't hear, that is another matter.

A Republican businessman seeking his party’s nomination to face Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) in the fall has released a new Western-style TV ad in which the candidate, dressed as a sheriff, fires a gun at actors portraying Kelly, President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

The candidate, energy executive Jim Lamon, said in a tweet that the ad will air during the Super Bowl.

Kelly is the husband of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), who was shot in the head while greeting constituents outside a Tucson supermarket 2011. Six people were killed in the shooting rampage and many others were injured.

(snip)

The Lamon campaign is spending “multiples of six figures” on the aid, which it said will air in Tucson during the Super Bowl and in Phoenix and statewide cable and online thereafter.
