WASHINGTON - The Democratic challenger to Rep. Curt Weldon said Wednesday that any criticism of his family's decisions on medical treatment for his 4-year-old daughter, stricken with a malignant brain tumor, was unacceptable.
"Any remarks regarding my daughter Alexandria's treatment will not be tolerated," Joe Sestak said. His daughter is being treated at Children's Hospital in Washington.
A story published Wednesday in The Hill said Weldon, R-Pa., suggested in an interview that Sestak should have sent his daughter to a hospital in Philadelphia or Delaware instead of one in Washington.
John Tomaszewski, Weldon's press secretary, said Wednesday that he had no comment on Sestak's statement or the newspaper report.
Saw Sestak talk tonight. I think people will be pleased with his candidacy. Of course anyone's better than Crazy Curt, but I think he's a whole lot better.
