HAH! Vivek Ramaswamy's disgusting ad featuring Amy Acton's evil mom BACKFIRES as the Democratic candidate sees a massive surge in donations amidst the outrage.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot...
The ad in question features the Democratic gubernatorial candidate's estranged mother Donna Arthur warning Ohio voters against supporting Acton. The horrifying element is that Acton has accused Arthur of siding with her stepfather, who abused her when she was a child.
Ramaswamy's decision to pour $4 million into spreading the ad, despite the allegations, is unfortunately in perfect keeping with the ethos of the party of the Epstein. If you're a Republican you apparently have only three options when it comes to child abuse: you can downplay it as "not a big deal," you can engage in it yourself (as Trump appears to have), or you can ignore it entirely.
Unfortunately for Ramaswamy, Ohioans don't share his fondness for enablers of abuse. Thanks to the ad, Acton has surged up into second place on the leaderboards on ActBlue, the Democratic Party's fundraising platform, trailing behind only the incredibly popular James Talarico.
Rather than hurt Acton's electoral prospects, Ramaswamy has injected rocket fuel into her campaign and she is taking full advantage—
"We need to send a clear message: this kind of hate and vitriol has no place in Ohio,” Acton wrote in a fundraising email. “But I’ll be frank – we’re still being outspent by a large margin, and if we allow him to dominate the airwaves for these final 12 days, we’ll be at a real disadvantage on Election Day.”
“Vivek Ramaswamy has unleashed attack ads against me that have gone too far,” she added. “He’s stooped so low that even Republicans are calling him out. He’s showing Ohio exactly who he is: a man willing to go to despicable lows to win.”
