PHOENIX (AP) — A Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona is taking heat for an Old West-style ad showing him shooting weapons out of the hands of President Joe Biden, Sen. Mark Kelly and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Critics say the ad by businessman Jim Lamon is irresponsible as it depicts violence against elected officials. Lamon’s campaign released the ad Thursday.

Dressed as the sheriff, Lamon arrives and says its “time for a showdown.” When the Democrats draw weapons, Lamon shoots them out of their hands.
