Wheaton Graphic Artist Made Fake Ad of NRA Activist Getting Shot in Head

A graphic artist from Wheaton made a fake advertisement of an NRA activist getting shot but removed the video from his Twitter feed.

Tom Adelsbach, 51, doctored a recent ad for the National Rifle Association featuring St. Louis-based conservative talk radio host Dana Loesch, according to the Huffington Post. Adelsbach’s version makes it appear that Loesch is shooting herself in the head.

“Loesch retweeted the graphic video with the caption, ‘Great. Now anti-gun #MomsDemand fans are making videos threatening to kill me,’” the Huffington Post reported.

Twitter says the page no longer exist but Fox News broadcast the video and it remains on its website.

Adelsbach did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In 2006, Adelsbach pleaded guilty to theft by deception and was sentenced to probation, according to Will County court records. He was charged with putting 52 counterfeit $10 bills into a change machine at a Crest Hill car wash.
