Ben Carson Launches First TV Ads [VIDEO]

Buoyed by his new position atop the polls, Ben Carson this weekend launched his first television ads in key early states. NBC News reports:

The $500,000 ad buy will air in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada, and includes themes centered on Carson’s history as a doctor and status as an outsider in the 2016 race. Both ads end with the tagline: “Heal, Inspire, Revive.” A Carson campaign aide told NBC News it has always been their plan to begin airing TV ads early into the Republican primary, and that this week the timing was right to release the ads as new polls show Carson surging and even topping Trump in Iowa.

You’ll need some caffeine to stay awake through the clips.
