In a 1990 political TV ad by Republican candidate David Barrett Cohen, Congressman Mel Levine is portrayed with a repetitive visual emphasis on his smile juxtaposed against severe criticism. The ad condemns Levine for his voting record against local aerospace and defense jobs, aiming to undermine his support by highlighting job-related issues.
