- Trump, DeWine Take Opposing Views on Ramaswamy Ad Against Acton The Daily Signal · 17d ago
- Vivek Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Amy Acton, who is running for Governor of Ohio, is a liar, and much worse. The Press, in a concerted and well coordinated attack, is trying to get Vivek Ramaswamy to “take down the Ad.” Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about a daughter in that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving in Office, let alone the Office of Governor. If my mother, the legendary Mary MacLeod Trump, said anything bad about me, the Fake News would play it up. The Dumocrats would be totally supportive, and it would go down as the Ad of the Decade — Maybe the Century! It would win Awards for Excellence in Advertising. But, because Vivek, who will be a GREAT Governor, put it out, the “Artificial” News has teamed up against him in order to damage, demean, and embarrass a Republican who is leading in the Polls. Our RINO Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, who I unfortunately helped get elected years ago, when he was losing by 16 points prior to my doing a Rally for him was, as usual, disloyal to the Republican Party. He strongly suggested that Vivek should, “take down the Ad.” He probably wants a Dumocrat to win, and certainly doesn’t want someone who will do a much better job than he is capable of doing. I suggested, on the other hand, that Vivek should keep it up, and let everyone listen to the mother of a defective, dishonest, and incapable Candidate, explain how the daughter is a DISASTER who, uncontrollably, lies, cheats, and steals! I only wish the mothers of my opponents would be so brave as to come forward and explain that their son or daughter is a liar, and much worse. That took a lot of courage to do but, essentially, what she was really doing was saving Ohio from making a truly horrible choice! The Press is trying to convince everyone that this Ad is bad, because it’s so good! Who wouldn’t use such an Ad? I would, it’s called, “hitting pay dirt.” The fact is, Lyin’ Amy Acton, who I’ve never even heard of before, has been lying about Vivek for the entire Campaign. I know the real Vivek, he is a brilliant and outstanding person who will cut Taxes, stop Crime and, MAKE OHIO GREAT AGAIN. He will be a fantastic Governor! President DONALD J.

Backlash to Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's ad featuring his Democratic rival Amy Acton's estranged mother has put Republican candidates throughout Ohio in jeopardy. @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social reports.

It was, by my own estimate, meant solely as a way to hurt a democrat and abuse survivor. It was meant as a suckerpunch. It was meant to try and hurt as much as humanly possible because the goal wasn’t to sway voters, it was to put her trauma on blast from the tallest towers of our institutions. They are hoping to make it so eminently painful for…

"Ramaswamy’s ad is morally reprehensible and electorally disqualifying. It demonstrates utter contempt for survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence. It is also unsurprising.

President Trump’s brand of politics has consumed the Republican Party for a decade. But bipartisan outrage over Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring his opponent’s estranged mother shows how candidates often fail when they try to embody the president’s bombast.

Apparently, this is just another example of republican men seeing nothing wrong with a 9 - 12 year old child being raped by a full grown man.

The ad has divided Ohio Republicans, with Vice President JD Vance dismissing objections as “whining” while several party figures have criticised the campaign’s approach. https:// english.mathrubhumi.com/news/w orld/trump-backs-ramaswamy-ad-amy-acton-estranged-mother-ohio-governor-race-s6nk23c4?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon # DonaldTrump #…
