GOP Senate candidate Jim Lamon's new ad shows him shooting at an actor playing Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ). Kelly's wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ), was shot and nearly killed in 2011.
In a new campaign ad, Arizona Republican Senate candidate Jim Lamon appearing as an Old West-style sheriff shoots at an actor playing his political opponent, incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ).
The ad comes 11 years after Kelly's wife, former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ), was shot in the head and almost killed during a mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona.
Lamon is a former business executive seeking the Republican Senate nomination in Arizona. In the ad, which is slated to air during the Super Bowl, Lamon appears to face off in a showdown against actors playing Kelly, President Joe Biden, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

(46,066 posts)1. I doubt the Super Bowl has any say
First, the national ads are sold by NBC, not the NFL. Second, its unlikely this idiot has the money to buy a national spot. Its probably a local ad that will only be seen on one or more independently owned Arizona NBC affiliates. And finally, under Section 315(a) of the Communications Act, broadcasters are prohibited from censoring a candidate ad, so they cant reject it (or remove it from the air) no matter what its content is.

(18,224 posts)2. I think this will BackFire if shown during the Superbowl
Especially concerning threatening a rival candidate.
I think most Americans will find it as an example of who these creatins are. I think the FBI should be involved.

This guy is one sick MFer. Especially after what they did to Gabby. I hope Sen. Kelly has additional security.
