Given the shift in media ownership over the Trump era, Democrats REALLY need to learn to ignore media handwringing now. Because I have no doubt their every move for accountability will be attacked from every possible angle.

Bank of America, Draftkings, Kroger and Johnson & Johnson are among the companies funding Vivek Ramaswamy's despicable ad attempting to exploit the family tragedy of his opponent, who was raped as a child.

Judd Legum@juddlegum.bsky.social

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
