New Ad Takes Aim at McCain’s Age, Health
A new ad from an anti-McCain political action committee implies John McCain may be unable to serve as president because of his age.
The ad from Brave New PAC and Democracy for America features doctors’ bleak assessments of McCain’s health history while displaying pictures of scars resultant from melanoma surgery.
“John McCain is 72 years old and has had cancer 4 times,” the ad displays in its opening. “Another bout of cancer for John McCain while he’s president of the United States would profoundly impact his capacity to lead,” says Dr. Michael D. Fratkin in the ad.
The ad additionally calls for a further release of McCain’s medical records beyond what the media were allowed to inspect earlier this year.
The ad will begin running nationally on Thursday, according to National Journal.
