Yahoo News reports:
Arizona Senate candidate Jim Lamon’s campaign released a Super Bowl ad on Thursday depicting him in armed “showdown” with Democratic leaders including incumbent Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly (D). The 30-second ad features actors depicting Kelly, President Biden, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
“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 Democratic figures then draw their weapons and Lamon shoots at them, prompting them to run away.
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.
Read the full article. Lamon last appeared on JMG when his debut campaign ad showed him saying, “Let’s Go Brandon.” He first came to our attention last June when it was revealed that he had donated over $2 million to far-right and QAnon groups.
