“F*** the NRA,” says a new television ad for a Democratic New Mexico primary candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives 1st District seat.
Pat Davis’ 15-second ad continues, “Their pro-gun policies have resulted in dead children, dead mothers, and dead fathers. If Congress won’t change our gun laws, we need to change Congress.”
The ad was run on KRQE, Albuquerque’s CBS affiliate, with the profanity uncensored at around 12:30 p.m., HuffPost reported. The television station is not allowed to censor political posts according to campaign laws, but the station said it would run a warning immediately before the ad airs each time.
“We received a request for airtime from a legitimate federal candidate for office, and according to federal election rules, we are required to give him the same access as his opponents,” KRQE station manager Bill Anderson said, HuffPost reported. “This station, by law, is not permitted to censor or in any way edit this commercial.”
Davis is a former police officer who was also director of ProgressNow New Mexico, HuffPost reported. National Review reported Davis didn’t think his profane language would be offensive to many.
“I think the only people who are going to be offended are the NRA,” Davis told KRQE.
As usual, Twitter had varying opinions on the subject, many of which could not be printed here.
