McCain family decries lack of 'respect' in GOP attack ads featuring late senator

National Republicans have started airing TV ads against Democrats using video of the late Sen. John McCain, a move his family signaled they didn't condone.

The National Republican Congressional Committee ad running in Tucson, Arizona, uses McCain's 2016 criticism of former Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, who ran against him in that year's Senate race. McCain, who died Aug. 25 after a yearlong battle with brain cancer, also appears in a critical ad in a Michigan House race.

In a statement, a McCain family spokesperson said they hoped for better.

"The McCain family believes it's unfortunate that the senator's image is being weaponized this election season," the statement said. "They hope that there would be more respect, especially so soon after his passing."
