Senate candidate talks about being threatened in ad that shows her with revolver on table (VIDEO)

Leah Vukmir, a Republican Senate candidate from Wisconsin, is getting some attention for her latest campaign ad that features her refusing to be a victim while a holstered handgun is within arms’ reach.
Vukmir, 60, a pediatric nurse practitioner and long-time state lawmaker, is a GOP contender to take on incumbent U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., in November. In a campaign ad posted Thursday, the current state Senator from the Milwaukee area talks about remaining dedicated to her agenda after a recorded death threat plays.
“Ever have someone threaten your life for something you believe in? I have,” says Vukmir, sitting alone with the handgun without referring to it. “When Scott Walker and I beat the union bosses, cut billions in taxes and defunded Planned Parenthood, the left couldn’t take it. With President Trump, we can do the same in Washington. Standing on principle takes guts, I know what it takes.”
When questioned by local media about specific threats the ad was based on, Vukmir’s campaign provided an example of a Facebook message that said in part, “hope some nut with a gun shows you why there should be stricter gun laws. The only way you may get it!”
