Another clip included in the ad shows Lake saying she "drove a stake through the heart of the McCain machine," while audio from reporters and commentators criticizing Lake over her comments is also heard.
The ad ends with a clip of Meghan McCain, a conservative commentator and McCain's daughter, saying of Lake, "She tweeted at me again today. The internal polling … must be just staggeringly awful … when it comes to Independents and McCain Republicans."
"And it’s why she can’t win Arizona," McCain added.
The ad is part of a five-figure digital ad buy that will run across Arizona and comes less than a week after McCain lashed out at Lake on social media following the latter dismissing her previous attitude and comments toward McCain's late father as jokes.
"Kari Lake is trying to walk back her continued attacks on my Dad (& family) and all of his loyal supporters after telling them to ‘get the hell out.’ Guess she realized she can’t become a Senator without us. No peace, b----. We see you for who you are - and are repulsed by it," McCain wrote in a post on X.
Lake responded to McCain in what appeared to be an attempt to make amends, but McCain simply repeated, "NO PEACE, B----!"

"In 2022, McCain Republicans joined Democrats and Independents to reject Kari Lake’s brand of extremism," Senate Majority PAC President JB Poersch told Fox News Digital. "Just because Lake landed Mitch McConnell and Steve Daines’ endorsements, doesn’t mean she gets to run away from her repeated insults against one of Arizona’s most beloved political figures and his supporters."
"This ad will remind voters that Kari Lake will say or do anything to get ahead, and that she has no place representing Arizona in the Senate," he added.

When asked for comment about the ad, NRSC spokesman Tate Mitchell attributed the effort to focus on Lake's relationship with the McCains as an attempt by Gallego to distract from his own issues.
"Ruben Gallego is desperately trying to change the subject after reports came out that he abandoned his wife when she was nearly nine months pregnant. Gallego also doesn’t want to discuss his support for Joe Biden’s open-border policies that led to illegal immigrants murdering Americans, assaulting police officers, and spreading deadly drugs throughout the country," Mitchell told Fox.
Another source pointed Fox to Gallego's frequent attacks against John McCain while he was still serving as Arizona's senator, including calling him "irrelevant," and blasting him over his support for the war in Iraq and his position on immigration. The source also mentioned that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of Senate Democrats, had yet to endorse Gallego.
