This is all stupidly tragic. Acton’s mom is mentally unstable, living in her car with unspayed cats, refusing assistance. It must have taken an amount of energy to find her; this ad was the produce of *concerted,* long-term effort. A lot of thought went into it.

President Trump on Ohio Gov. Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy (R) campaign ad with opponent Amy Acton's (D) mother: "Vivek was treated very unfairly. He had the mother of his opponent say that her daughter was a liar. I said, 'Why can’t I have an opponent like that?'”

"Axios reports on a new private GOP poll conducted in the aftermath of Vivek Ramaswamy’s decision to run his ad questioning his opponent’s having been raped by her stepfather when she was 12.

NEW on @zeteo.com Sources say Amy Acton's estranged mom seemed mentally unwell when Ramaswamy's ad was filmed & she had trouble keeping a coherent narrative on the past. Some wanted to vet her more, but *Ramaswamy himself* wanted to pushed ahead. From @jsweetli.bsky.social & @swin24.bsky.social:

Retired teacher Michael Pogue turned up at one of Ramaswamy’s campaign events in Cincinnati on October 24 in protest, holding a banner that said, “Shame on you, Vivek! I taught you better.” Pogue taught Ramaswamy when he was in eighth grade at Princeton Junior High School, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer, and called on his former pupil to…

The Daily Mail has the story on how Team Ramaswamy found Amy Acton's estranged mother, who was non compos mentis, gave her some groceries and a bottle of gin, and then gave her a script to read in front of cameras. The whole story is more degenerate than you would ever have thought possible.

"Yes, as Suebsaeng and Sweet write, “Somehow, the depraved, sleazy story of how this happened – a new low in a race that the New York Times has declared likely the ‘ugliest’ in the nation – is even worse than you already think it is.” https:// zeteo.com/p/republicans-warned -vivek-ramaswamy

'It was a terrible time for our family and it's very hard to talk about it,' Christine's sister told the Daily Mail. 'My brother won't say anything at all. It's a nightmare for us to relive what happened in our family after all these years.'

Amy wasn't even her stepfather's first victim... Her mother is a fucking pedo enabler, and should be in jail for her part. Vivek is a POS with absolutely no redeeming human qualities. https:// newrepublic.com/post/217312/vi vek-ramaswamy-amy-acton-ad-somehow-gets-even-worse

Chalk this down as some of the least surprising news ever. Republicans fear that Ramaswamy's explosive attack ad could cost them the Ohio governor's race, based on new internal polling that shows him falling further behind @axios.com

Acton did not bury her trauma, and now Ramaswamy is using it against her.
