The cringe-worthy ad portrays Dan Helmer, candidate for the U.S. House, doing a satire of the bar scene from the movie “Top Gun, parodying Tom Cruise character.” In the original movie, the Maverick sings “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin'” to the character of Kelly McGillis.
In this campaign advertisement/parody, Helmer sings “You’ve Lost That Centrist Feelin’,” to a actress portraying his Republican challenger in the Virginia’s 10th Congressional District, Barbara Comstock.
