Imagine thinking your Hail Mary pass is weaponizing your opponent’s childhood rape, then being stupid enough to double down when the whole thing blows up in your face. Instead of damaging Amy Acton’s campaign, he’s turned his attack into an own goal.

Yes, and he should take Trump with him everywhere to laud rapists and partners who stood by them over the children they raped. Both of these assholes and the entire Republican Party like to babble about "family values" but what they really mean is they support patriarchy and cruelty.

An investigation by The Bulwark revealed that Arthur’s husband is Vernon Edwards, a registered sex offender convicted in 2006 of "gross sexual imposition" involving victims under the age of 13. Edwards appeared briefly in footage alongside his wife in the campaign spot.

The "Double Down" is the official strategy of people who mistake a lack of shame for a tactical advantage. They treat a moral collapse like a software bug they can just patch in the next update.

I've never understood why these people of Indian descent think that the Republicans won't go after them next. Maybe it's Clarence Thomas Syndrome -- I'll get what I can get and to hell with the rest of them.

I wish it was stupidity. They believe this shit works, because of who they are, and who they know they cult member voters to be. Horrible people. All around. I hope enough sane people see it for what it is. Blaming the vicim by rap!st and pedo protectors.

MAGgAt America TALIBAN christian nationalists Heritage Foundation cultists evangelic nazis white supremists fox news administration so called Conservative traitorous treasonous bastards have LITERALLY NO DEPTHS of depravity nor morals. Everything is on the table if they can win ,and make more money.

💯 this ! "Instead of damaging Amy Acton’s campaign, he’s turned his attack into an own goal." In a perverse way, this might actually be a blessing in disguise for Dr @amyactonoh.bsky.social 's efforts. It would make her victory that much more delectable !

A whole Party views We the People as such lowly, unsophisticated, undereducated peasants as to accept Vivek's deplorable story about Acton. This is what weakening the Education system for 50 yrs was meant to produce. They want this for you.

When you have GoP like vivek making smear allegations, do you think it because the no longer want to be elected, but cant say to Trump FU

I haven't really paid attention to the aftermath as if pertains to him. Has it, in fact, blown up in has face? All I saw was the despicable Vance commentary afterward.

He is following the Trump playbook of never apologize and always double down. But that never works for anyone else but Trump, and sometimes doesn't even work for him.

Because he's a f'ing idiot. He believes that's the play to run because Trump does that bs. The difference is Trump is white. He thinks this gets him accepted in the white MAGA world. He's too dark. They tolerate this prick because he says what they like but he'll never be accepted.

At least he showed his potential constituents exactly how vile and repugnant he is. Always good to get both warning and confirmation.

RULES OF MAGA Never admit error. Never admit fault. When shown to be in error or at fault, double down. It is never my fault, it is always someone else's fault.

No, they're all in. They believe this train is going to run forever and they're riding it to the top! At this point, any capitulation would be seen as a weakness, a failure. It's too late to walk out of a Rep's office and get a job in a Dem's. The wounds are too deep. The scars are too many.

Four of the rules Roy Cohn taught a young Donald Drumpf: Never Apologize or Admit Wrongdoing Attack, Attack, Attack (Counter-Attack with Greater Force) Admit Nothing and Deny Everything Claim Victory No Matter What

Ohio Republicans and their uber racist voters won’t vote for him. They just won’t vote. Ohio has a large Neo Nazi/White Nationalist demographic. How many times have the words, “hell no I’m not voting for a sand n*****” been said since Vivek started campaigning??? Ya’ll don’t know Ohio.

Ramaswamy is the worst of the worst. Despicable. 🤬 And Dr. Amy Acton is the best of the best! 💙 Full of kindness, actually a doctor caring for children with such empathy and love.

Where will this sad, sick little fuckwit go after he loses? I can't imagine even FOX touching him with a ten-foot pole. Maybe he'll get a grievance-spouting gig with NEWSMAX, or a minor propaganda-party role under Krasnov....

This is the "Family Values" party that has been pretending to be morally superior to us all for so many decades. They claim right to judge while betraying a monstrous lack of empathy. Tryjng to shame a survivor of child rape, sabotaging Ukraine's defenses, it's all good, right?

In my entire life, I have been fortunate enough to have never actually met someone in the flesh, who has called a person 'flawed' because they were raped as a child. The world is watching this America. I want to put my arms around anyone who has ever been abused.

The days of semi-decent republicans like John McCain are behind us. We now see a GOP full of deviants, perverts, and bottom feeders. Money, not service, is what motivates them.

Poor decision making😐 That's why we used to hold politicians "feet to the fire" for doing dumb sh't like this. It was a clear sign of poor decision making😑 Any guesses why that's no longer the case for some of us? 😑

LOCK HIM UP & THROW AWAY THE KEYS !! Evil bastard !! Im more than sick of these utterly demonic Republican bastards 😤🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES ASAP TOO !! Big thanks Christopher 😊

Are these people not only legitimately stupid but also irredeemably evil? Thankfully, they work hard to prove the level of depravity.

Amy’s mother is an evil monster. The Republican Party is evil. They have no problem giving a platform to evil monsters.

Just like tRump, he is ALL IN with this BS though not as much as tRump. It’s so absurdly despicable. Childish. Immature. NOT NORMAL. #25thAmendment

Imagine spending $4 million fucking dollars to attack a woman for being raped when she was 9 years old. Then excusing it by saying "politics is a tough sport". There is something seriously wrong with him.
