Republican Pennsylvania Senate Candidate Lou Barletta Lashed Out At Incumbent Senator Bob Casey’s Ad For Suggesting He Would Deny Care To Young Cancer Patients.
Bob Casey just released an insensitive and personal attack ad accusing Lou Barletta of wanting to rip away health care from twin children with cancer, after Lou personally told Casey of his 18-month-old twin grandson currently undergoing chemo for cancer.
