Dear MoveOn member, 

In a Super Bowl TV ad, an Arizona Republican Senate candidate portrayed
himself shooting President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and
Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, whose wife, former Representative Gabby
Giffords, was shot in the head and critically injured in an assassination
attempt more than a decade ago.^1

Disgusting. 

Sen. Mark Kelly, one of the GOP's top targets in this year's mid-term
elections, is a strong advocate of gun control, and it's clear some
Republicans are willing to resort to violence to take him down. 

That's exactly why MoveOn is launching a rapid-response fundraising effort
to defend Sen. Kelly, keep Arizona blue in 2022, and stop the violent
GOP. 

[ [link removed] ]Will you join us by rushing a $3 donation right now? Your
donation will be split between Mark Kelly's reelection campaign and
MoveOn's work to defeat right-wing extremists at the ballot box this
November.

The GOP candidate, Jim Lamon, isn't the first Republican to prominently
feature political violence in a TV ad. 

In a recent TV ad, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene complained that
Nancy Pelosi is "sneaking the Green New Deal into the $3.5 trillion
budget" and uses a massive .50-caliber sniper rifle to blow up a Toyota
Prius with the word "socialism" emblazoned across it.^2

And just months ago, GOP Representative Paul Gosar shared on his official
congressional social media accounts an animated video depicting him
killing Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and swinging two swords at
President Biden.^3

The GOP's sick embrace of white supremacism and violence makes it an
illegitimate political party. They simply have no business being in
elected office. 

Respond to the GOP's attacks by ensuring Sen. Kelly has the financial
resources he needs to defeat the violent, extremist GOP.
