GOP Sen Candidate Shoots At Biden, Pelosi Lookalikes In ‘Disgusting’ Ad


Jim Lamon, a Republican candidate for senator in Arizona, drew widespread condemnation on Thursday for a campaign ad in which he shoots at actors portraying President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.).Lamon plays a gun-slinging sheriff who fires weapons out of the trio’s hands in the Western movie-style spot. Biden is dubbed “Old Joe,” Pelosi is “Crazyface” and Kelly “Shifty” in the 70-second commercial.“The good people of Arizona have had enough of you. It’s time for a showdown,” Lamon says in the video that will reportedly air on television statewide on Sunday, including during the Super Bowl.“Real violence and use of deadly force is no laughing matter,” said McGuire. “Violence in America is real and it isn’t funny. This ad shows poor judgment and isn’t reflective of the values of the Second Amendment. This ad will do more to boost Mark Kelly’s fundraising than help Republicans.”Others agreed, saying it was particularly egregious given how Kelly’s wife, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), was shot in 2011 during an assassination attempt.
