Acton campaign spokesperson Addie Bullock said Ramaswamy should never have run the ad and criticized him for pulling it without apologizing.
“Vivek Ramaswamy should never have run his despicable ad in the first place, and it’s totally unsurprising that he took it off the air in the most cowardly way possible, without even the hint of an apology to Dr. Acton, her family, or to the people of Ohio.”

Vicious Ramaswamy has canceled his vile ads featuring Pedo-enthusiast Amy Acton’s birth creature. That’s like locking the barn door after the horses are gone.

O
may shame return, and soon "Ramaswamy said during a campaign appearance...that the ad’s planned run was over. His campaign originally said it would spend $4 million to air the ad, but data from the ad-tracking firm AdImpact showed it spent roughly $1 million."

Vivek Ramaswamy's attack ad featuring opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother is off the air in Ohio
-
If you watch the original Wizard Oz, you immediately recognize Vivek's hair do when the Munchkins appear.
-
They were testing just how far they could push the boundaries until the backlash became too costly. Then suddenly, the ad had “run to completion. 🙄🤦 Not a change of heart. Damage control. 🤬🇨🇦
-
So basically, he spent $4m of his own campaign funds destroying his own chances. Bloody wonderful 🤣🤣🤣 (I'm almost tempted to question my atheism 😜)
-
He says it "ran to completion" because, like Trump, he will never admit error and never apologize.
-
White women happily hold up the patriarchy. So horrifying.
-
Ohio is the country of all good and decent people. I don’t think there is an adult bookstore in the whole state. 💙 should thank Ramaswamy for calling the entire state out for the mere suggestion that they might support outright rape and pedophilia in Ohio. We have yet to appreciate the damage done.
-
I stand with Amy Acton. By allowing that ad to run is absolute proof that Vivek Ramaswamy is not fit to be governor of Ohio. He is corrupt, has no compassion & would not represent the people of Ohio. OHIO, DO BETTER VOTE FOR AMY ACTON. VOTE BLUE. END THE CORRUPTION, THAT IS THIS REGIME & THE "GOP".
-
The only thing surprising about this is that he had as much of a political career as he did. Anyone who spends $4M on something that does no good, only harm, has spent too long being shielded from the consequences of their bad decisions.
-
This guy needs to be shamed on a daily basis. What a disgrace he is. But then wealth does make people like him think they're exempt from reality and law.
-
It appears he hasn’t thought about the reality that this ad will haunt the rest of his days. He may like to forget, but we won’t let him.
-
I hope and this horrible mother get heckled for the rest of their lives. At the least. 🤬🤬🤬
-
Vivek Ramaswamy has always struck me as being a vile swarmy swamp creature. Not trustworthy.
-
If this corrupt guy wins. There’s something seriously something wrong with Ohioans!!!
-
It shouldn't have aired in the first place but glad it's pulled.
-
Ma Kettle won’t be able to hear the hecklers, I’d imagine.
-
Too stupid and too classless to be a governor.

He's getting major backlash on Twitter. No matter what he says. We always go back to how he upholds child rapists! We are not moving on from this.
-
Meanwhile the old woman is back living in her car. No longer useful to them. Hard to feel sympathy for her but it speaks to who Republicans are.
-
I wonder how much she was paid to make a video trashing her own daughter, who was a victim of child sexual abuse by her stepfather.
