Jim Lamon, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Arizona, is standing by his decision to run a political ad in which he shoots at President Joe Biden and other Democrats—and has mocked those who expressed outrage at the commercial.
In the ad, released on Thursday ahead of the Super Bowl this weekend, Lamon is dressed as a Western sheriff, facing down actors in cowboy costumes who are meant to be Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly.
"The good people of Arizona have had enough of you. It's time for a showdown," Lamon says in the ad.
When the three Democratic "cowboys" approach a ranch with guns, Lamon shoots at them, knocking their weapons out of their hands and forcing them to run away.
The ad sparked a backlash, especially because Kelly's wife, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, was shot in an assassination attempt in January 2011. The attack left Giffords with a brain injury and led her to becoming a vocal gun control advocate.
In a tweet on Thursday, Lamon appeared to stand by his commercial. "Left wing snowflakes can't stand the fact that, for once, AZ will have a Senator who will shoot straight with them & stop cowering to Biden," he wrote.
