Dem Congressional Candidate Forces TV Station To Run 'Fuck The NRA' Ad Uncensored
“Their program policies have resulted in dead children, dead mothers and dead fathers,” Davis continues. “I’m Pat Davis and I approve this message because if Congress won’t change our gun laws, we’re changing Congress.”
Davis’ ad ran around 12:30 p.m. local time Friday on KRQE, the local CBS affiliate in Albuquerque, but station manager Bill Anderson bemoaned the fact that he couldn’t censor it.
“We received a request for airtime 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,” he said. “This station, by law, is not permitted to censor or in any way edit this commercial.”
