In Fiery TV Spot, Democratic Congressional Candidate Clangs a Bullet Through Republican Opponent's Pitch

Rob Quist updholds his right to bear advertising

The Montana congressional race between Democrat Rob Quist and Republican Greg Gianforte just got a little more colorful.

In the spot above, Quist downgrades his opponent as a “millionaire from New Jersey” (the tag previously has been “billionaire”) and takes a bullseye shot across some open space at a TV set displaying one of Gianforte’s paid spots. It gets louder. Per guns.com, Gianforte wasted no time firing back at Quist, literally, with an exploding-screen ad of his own.
