Rep. Madison Cawthorn, a gun rights advocate, faced criticism for apparent gun safety violations during his appearance in an Arizona shooting range's commercial.
Cawthorn, a North Carolina Republican, was featured in an advertisement for Shooter's World, an Arizona shooting range and firearms retailer. Shooter's World shared the ad to their social media accounts on Christmas Eve.
The commercial first depicts footage of bullets, firearms, and people socializing with the 26-year-old congressman over a soft piano rendition of the"Star Spangled Banner." In the second half of the video, Cawthorn and others are firing guns inside the range. The ad was re-uploaded to Twitter by the PatriotTakes account—which is affiliated to liberal political action committee MeidasTouch—in a thread lambasting the participants' handling of the firearms. PatriotTakes' post went viral and leveled heavy criticism towards Cawthorn.of Arizona said the ad amounted to an ethics issue, given that Cawthorn, a congressman, appears in a private company's promotional video.
"Besides the horrible weapons handling," Gallego tweeted."This is on the verge of an ethics violation. Members ofaren't allowed to promote private companies," he continued."Shooters World should have gotten permission from Cawthorn and Cawthorn should have asked the ethics committee." Besides the horrible weapons handling. This is on the verge of an ethics violation. Members of Congress aren’t allowed to promote private companies. Shooters World should have gotten permission from Cawthorn and Cawthorn should have asked the ethics committee.
