Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) faced backlash this week for releasing an ad attacking Democrats and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that ended with a gunshot sound.
In the spot, the QAnon-endorsing first-term lawmaker called on Pelosi to “tear down” the security fence that was put up around the U.S. Capitol following the Jan. 6 insurrection, when a violent mob of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters overran the Capitol building.
“It’s time to cut the crap and remember, this is the people’s house,” Boebert bombastically declared.
The video concluded with audio of a gunshot, followed by the sound of the weapon being reloaded and fired again.

In light of the riot, critics demanded to know why pro-gun activist Boebert had decided to end the video in that provocative way:
In today's episode of Batshit Crazy in DC one of the Representatives with blood on her hands from January 6th 2020 ends her propaganda video with a shotgun blast and reload.

And you needed the gun blast and the cocking of your gun at the end? What exactly are you implying with that?

The gun-cocking sound at the end of this video is clearly a threat to the 2nd in line to the Presidency.
We still taking such threats seriously, @TwitterSafety @FBI?— Jedi, Interrupted 🏳️🌈 (@JediCounselor) March 8, 2021
Why are there gun shots at the end of this video?
What exactly are you trying to convey?
The deadly insurrection was only 2 months ago. Why do you want to remove the perimeter around the Capitol so soon?
Why do you want to leave members of Congress vulnerable, Klannie Oakley? 🤔— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) March 8, 2021
Congresswoman, why is there a sound gunshot at the end of your video? Was that a threat to Speaker Pelosi? https://t.co/rbD6vpA4Gf
