GOP Candidate Releases First TV Campaign Ad With Gun By Her Side

By Micah Rate

It’s often not enough for people to simply agree to disagree when it comes to a politician’s policy proposals anymore. For reasons rational people don’t understand, there are voters out there who believe death threats are the appropriate way to influence their representative’s decision-making. Threatening phone calls to Congressmen and women have become the norm–and Leah Vukmir, a GOP candidate who’s running to be Wisconsin’s next U.S. Senator, knows these phone calls all too well.

In Vukmir’s first television campaign ad, a camera pans across a darkened room where viewers see pictures of Vukmir’s family. Among the family photos sits a telephone, playing threatening voicemails left for the hopeful candidate. As the camera continues to move, Vukmir begins to speak and is eventually seen sitting in her dining room with a holstered handgun by her side. Vukmir states that she has received threats before, but that she will not let those threats deter her from implementing conservative policies.

Standing on principle takes guts. I know what it takes.
