Quote:ALBUQUERQUE, NM (KRQE) - People see a lot of outrageous political ads, but it's not usually the language that's controversial.

Albuquerque City Councilor Pat Davis wants people to see his congressional campaign spot in which the Democrat uses profanity to get the viewers' attention..

"F*** the NRA," Davis says to start off his 15-second ad. "Their program policies have resulted in dead children, dead mothers and dead fathers. I'm Pat Davis and I approve this message because if Congress won't change our gun laws, we're changing Congress."

"I think the only people who are going to be offended are the NRA," Davis argued when asked about the ad Thursday.

"You only see these Hail Mary attempts among candidates who are really desperate at this point in a race," UNM Political Science Professor Gabriel Sanchez said after KRQE News 13 showed him the ad. "That's where you see attack ads that are much more aggressive, that's where you see these kind of out-of-the-box approaches is really when candidates know, 'I've got to make up some ground. I'm running out of money and I'm running out of time.'"

Some people KRQE showed the ad to thought it was improper decorum for a Congressional candidate.

"I don't think it's appropriate in a professional setting," said Avalon Vanis of Albuquerque.

"Opening up with foul language, regardless of what we're talking about, I think for a lot of people might question Davis' overall decorum and quote-unquote "electability," Sanchez added.

Others say they don't care because they agree with the message.

"I don't care if he cusses on TV," a viewer said. "It's fine. It's appropriate for the situation."

Davis, a former police officer, is not apologizing for the F-word.

"Being polite hasn't gotten us anywhere so maybe it's time to do something different," he said.
Viewers will see the ad on KRQE News 13 Friday; federal election law says the station has to run it uncensored.

The following is KRQE General Manager Bill Anderson's explanation:

"We received a request for air time 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. This station, by law, is not permitted to censor or in any way edit this commercial. What we can control however, is the 15 seconds of air time preceding it, which we will use to warn the viewer of a possible offense, disclaim our own views, and cite the federal laws imposed on candidates and tv stations."

A couple of Davis' opponents were quick to call this a publicity stunt.

Haha. At least he isn't speaking in the political speak of most politicians. Isn't that what voters liked about Trump is that he didn't talk in circles?

Sorry... I can't keep up.

So are the Dems over the "acting presidential" thing now?

This is what they consider showing that they are "serious" candidates. They use the "f" word. Hillary did it in her debate with Sanders.

How very "Me too" of them.

He's trying to get some big money anti-gun donations.

Pat Davis is a f**king liar.

This moron use to be a cop and has a couple of DUI's under his belt.

Oh, so he's right around scum-level.

Caveat: I understand that somebody can get a DUI. Heck, a good friend of mine did back in college. Driving drunk is stupid, but we all make mistakes.

But getting MORE than 1, to me, means you didn't learn your lesson the first time around.

And given the availability of Uber & Lyft there is NO reason for anybody to ever get a DUI again.

I get the his DUIs might be from a time before ride sharing, but still, one is more than plenty.


Personally, I think somebody driving under the influence made the choice to put other people's lives at risk. That choice deserves much more of a harsh punishment than we dole out today.

He seems, like your typical alt-leftist, to be consumed with hate.

I'd bet that will become a problem in the near future, with the coasts sending these "progressives" to Congress, the threat of them lashing out and attacking colleagues they disagree with. If I were a conservative, I wouldn't trust being around someone like that.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A local congressional campaign ad is dominating national headlines. This week, City Councilor and Democratic congressional candidate Pat Davis took a very blunt jab at the National Rifle Association.

The short ad begins with Davis saying the f-word. He said the offensive language is serving its purpose by keeping the discussion surrounding gun violence going.

While he's received some support, he's also received some backlash. After using profanity, Davis in the ad goes on to blame the NRA’s gun policies for leading to deaths.

“Being polite clearly hasn't gotten anything more than thoughts and prayers, and we're back in the same place we were when I was a police officer responding to shootings from people who shouldn't have had guns,” Davis said after the ad’s airing. “So maybe this is getting their attention.”

It's getting national attention and hundreds of thousands of video views. After airing only one time, his message even prompted a response from the NRA on social media.

With circus music playing, the NRA calls his foul message a desperate attempt, using the hashtag #desperatedavis.

The provocative ad comes just a few weeks before the June primaries. Running for the 1st Congressional District for New Mexico, Davis is surrounded by a large pool of Democratic candidates.

“We're going to keep airing it until… we get to change the conversation,” he said.
