Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad targeting Amy Acton’s childhood trauma crosses every line of human decency. The ad circulated without disclosing who was behind it. His campaign initially dodged responsibility, then Vivek admitted it was his and plans to spend $4 million to promote it.

Court records confirm Acton’s stepfather was arrested & charged w/sexually abusing her when she was 12. He fled prosecution & remained a fugitive until he died in 2024. Her mother chose her rapist husband over her daughter and stayed married to him. Here, Vivek finally admitting the ad was his.

There’s so many creeps crawling out from under their rocks to run as Republicans, I guess that’s all they have left now. 

That sick man is still lying about her — trying to make it her fault, that Rama-whatever had to do that to her. I pray Amy Acton wins, because they deserve far better than this creep.

His party sent me horrific mailers against Amy Acton. They made me sick. I tossed them without a second thought. I know she's a good person. He's NOT. He's an evil, money-hungry Republican who will ruin Ohio with data centers! VOTE BLUE.

This is for Ohioans’ good, he is right. I hope they can discern using this as a political ad as a hard no for their political representation.

Ramaswamy is a self absorbed, rude, condescending, contemptuous bully. He feels entitled to provoke, lie and hurt/harm others - he doesn’t care about people he sees as in his way to power. He’s a jerk and a bully, unfit for public office.

The mother is a wretched person, no doubt. That said, I feel bringing in the candidate’s elderly mother who has obviously made the regrettable decision to double and triple down on choosing her children’s abuser to be beneath the dignity of even the lowest MAGA toadie.

This ad was more about humiliation, than it was scoring political points. This strategy is in keeping with Trump’s pathetic retribution campaign. Accusations without proof, exacerbated by lies. Their sole goal, discomfort and embarrassment

He's already a billionaire too. Got rich through biotech and a hedge fund. Now he wants to get richer stealing government money, like all the other billionaires in the US. Ohio doesn't want him here! Go away, Vivek! I voted against you two days ago. You're not building data centers HERE!

that guy..."that would be like taking child rearing advice from a child abuser" or, like making one the president? did the lightbulb not go off while he was talking??

I don’t understand why he wasn’t arrested for fraud and the money he made from the drug wasn’t clawed back?

ADMITTED Pedophiles shouldn’t be PRESIDENTS or POLITICIANS. Child rapists shouldn’t hold office E. V. E. R.

Republicans have no boundaries! They are the lowest form of human decency. Amy was a 12 year child that was RAPED by her stepfather!!! Her mother stood by the stepfather and not her OWN DAUGHTER!! The mother is the horrible person.

This needs to be taken down now! If you’ve ever been a victim of a childhood molestation, it affects your life. I was fortunate enough to seek counseling to help me get through my trauma. You don’t bring up old wounds to hurt someone that’s cruel! This mother should be ashamed of herself.

Her no teeth mother knows nothing about Amy's life. She lost custody when she was 12, due to her pervert husband raping her. And the mother stayed married to her pervert husband until he died. She is a paid off POS.

I just went to early vote in very red county in Ohio. Hundreds of political signs around the parking lot. Viveks name wasn’t on any of them. Most important job in the state and not a single sign promoting him. He’s fucked. Even other conservatives don’t want his name associated with them

Of course a member of MAGA, with their alleged rapist Dear Leader, collaborated with a woman who sided with her rapist husband over her own children. Just one more example of their moral degeneracy.

Acton's early years = real "Hillbilly Elegy." #Ramaswine is despicable HypocRight slime; putting her trauma up for debate with a disproven narrative by one of her abusers. They turned the swamp into a sewer and their stank is odorous worldwide.

There's no decency, humanity or care in that man. It what meant to hurt and harm a woman who survived SA as a child! At the hands of her stepfather, and her mother choose him over her. It was nasty, mean and vulgar. What makes anyone think he would govern in their best interest not his? He's a pig.

I never liked Vivek when he surfaced during one of our elections. It was obvious that he would do anything to win. He has set himself up to lose this time. When you show no decency at all, then people notice. He is a huge douchebag and all know it.

An attack ad on a woman for the trauma she suffered at 12. Not the stepfather's crime, mind you, her trauma. That's the whole pitch: the survivor is the scandal. $4 million to say the quiet part out loud.

That her mother abandoned her, and left with the man that was raping Amy is even more disturbing-- and explains exactly what type of person would participate in an ad like this...

The fact that Amy was so betrayed by the one who birthed her & went on in her life to overcome that betrayal, the abuse, trauma & wounds in such a decent and successful way is why people should vote for her. Resilience, strength & courage: Those are amazing personal virtues & psychological traits.

This Political Ad Shock’s ones Conscience! It stuns me that any TV Station would allow an ad of such moral depravity even be broadcast. To think any Mother would engage in such behavior stuns me. People, this is today’s Trump controlled Republican Party!!! How any red blooded American can vote..

candidates who have sworn to uphold the Litmus Test they will do whatever a deranged, morally devoid, sociopathic POTUS demands, NOT represent you, their Constituent, not what’s best for America, reflects a moral degradation in American culture that, sadly, will not easily dissipate once Trump is…

no longer on this Earth. It will take America working together as one advocating once again for every single thing America once stood to overcome this horrific black stain on our culture. Churches that attract the Religious Right, White Christian Nationalists, along with the most Wealthy among …

us, who seek to use their money for as much Power & Control over American Govt, and all of us Working Stiffs, appear to have thrown away their Moral Compass. At the end of the day, Churches that attract & bring in these folks are FAILING to get their message across to their flocks. Children…

The vulgarity... The absolute imhumanity & obscenity of this ad should immediately disqualify #RabidScummy from this race.

I'm not religious, but peopel who have near-death experiences say we all go through a life review, and in it, we expereince how we've made others feel, good and bad, through THEIR eyes. So I think that will be a form of hell for him. He will feel all of it from the perspectives of those he affected.

Donna Arthur lost custody of her daughter, Amy Acton, in 1978 after Acton's stepfather, Cledith Arthur, was arrested and indicted for sexually abusing Acton when she was 12 years old.

Start by asking her how much she was paid to defame & lie about her own daughter! There are court documents ffs! The pedophile rapist piece of 💩 went to jail for his crime! WTAF?!

This is precisely the problem, the wives propping up these vile MAGAts! These wives need to grow a spine, publicly denounce their creepy husbands, file for sole custody of the kids and bundles of $$$$.

As a 75 year old woman who experienced sexual assault as a child, this is a re-traumatization and reaches into the very deep and painful hurt I carry even this many years later. The ad is despicable. And so is Vivek Ramaswamy. May God have mercy on his soul.

My mom survived it and wasn’t believed by her mom. My grandmas neglect and grandpas abuse ruined my mom. She’s been bitter, hateful, and angry my whole life. I wonder who she would have been if this hadn’t happened. I wonder what it would have been like to be raised by a happy woman.

This guy is worth $2.3 billion and still that's not enough for him. He has to have EVEN MORE POWER, so much so that he'll pay millions to retraumatize a child rape victim by having her mother call her a liar. Would he give $4 million to feed kids? Nope. But he'll pay to drag them through hell.

In fact, Ramaswamy's charitable giving is largely funneled towards 1) a foundation who's goal is to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories (Stand for TRUTH) and 2) to undermine corporate environmental and diversity policies.

But that all tracks with how he made his fortune to begin with: A pump and dump scheme involving a failed Alzheimer medication. Prior to retraumatizing a child rape victim and using her mother to call her a liar, Ramaswamy used his own mother to lie to investors about an Alzheimer's drug.

Despite the drug failing multiple trials, Ramaswamy and his lying mother convinced investors the drug had potential. Of course, they knew that wasn't true, so they waited for the stock to shoot up on HIS mom's "word" and then dumped their stock, making hundreds of millions. HE'S A FUCKING CREEP.

That’s the problem there’s never enough money for these greedy assholes yet regular struggling people should be grateful for what little they have! They’re the biggest hypocrites!

So could people find out what networks he's paid for these ads to run on and swarm them with calls and emails demanding they pull the ad? "Platforming a child abandoning pedo protector attacking the daughter she abandoned to stay with the guy who abused her" isn't something I imagine was in the TOS.

How much cash did her mother make on that evil deal. She sounds like she's cut from a similar cloth as Vivek.

How is this a smear on Amy Acton? Republicans are so evil they try to blame the victim like she did something wrong? If anything, I would think this ad will help her get more votes rather than turn on her.

Welp, we already knew he was scum, but now we know he’s the bottom of the barrel, soak it overnight type of scum. This disregard for women horrifies and angers me. Vote for Amy Acton!

Like most on the Republican ticket, Ramaswamy's an empty bag of skin filled with avarice, ego, amorality, mendacity, and cruelty. In his case you can also throw in a bit of self-hatred as he ignores the racial animus aimed at him within his own party.
