Jerone Davison, a Republican running for Congress, is embracing assault weapons, saying there’s a place for them in America … especially when it comes to subduing members of the KKK.
It’s a bizarre and disturbing political ad … Davison leans in hard on Democrats with his hypothetical that he would need 30 rounds fired in rapid succession to protect his family.
Davison, a former Oakland Raiders running back who’s running in Arizona, suggests Democrats are the ones inside the Klan hoods.
The video shows hooded Klansmen with donkey patches on their robes menacingly approaching a home where Davison is hanging out with an AR-15. He’s the only one with a firearm, and when he brandishes the rifle the Klansmen turn and run.
The ad ends with a white hood floating in a pool … and in a social media post promoting the spot, Davison says, “Make Rifles Great Again šŖš½.”
Davison posted the ad Wednesday, just 2 days after an assault rifle was used in a mass shooting at an Independence Day parade.
