This is the record of the depraved demented wife of a pedophile Vivek Ramaswamy used in his vile attack ad targeting Dr. Amy Acton That ad came on the heels of another Ramaswamy ad that used a registered sex offender!
VIVEK RAMASWAMY IS A SLEAZE BALL And Ohioans of all stripes think so! Even Ohio Republicans are condemning Vivek’s ads: One featuring a registered sex offender and another the depraved demented wife of a pedophile. When this election is over, Ohioans need to run Ramaswamys out of Ohio!

So we are "fighting fraud" by establishing a NEW slush fund where Trump personally decides payouts? What a grift. Trump is serious about fraud—serious about committing it!
Trump: "Sometimes there's a dispute about who turned them in and who is supposed to get what and when.
