Terri Schiavo's Husband: 'Disgusting' For Jeb Bush To 'Exploit' My Wife In Ad

[Capt. Obvious]

A pro-Jeb Bush Super PAC reignited an old feud this week by including footage of Terri Schiavo in an ad promoting the former Florida governor’s presidential bid.

The 30-second spot from Right to Rise uses a photo of Schiavo—who spent the last years of her life in a vegetative state against the wishes of her family—to promote Bush’s record as a pro-life, Christian conservative.

Bush “fought time and again for the right to life,” the ad’s narrator says.

Shiavo's husband, Michael, called the ad “disgusting” in a statement to the Tampa Bay Tribune.

"It is simply disgusting that Jeb Bush and his super Pac would exploit my wife’s tragedy for his crude political gain,” Michael Schiavo said in the statement. "Shame on Jeb Bush."

"What the campaign video shows is that if he ever got his hands on the power of government again, he would do the same thing again, maybe next time to your family," the statement continued.
