Trump praises Ramaswamy ad targeting Amy Acton

President Donald Trump on Thursday called Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton "fair game" as he defended Republican Vivek Ramaswamy's ad that features her estranged mother and ignored the abuse allegations against her stepfather. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/4BdWszY

JD Vance is backing Vivek Ramaswamy on an attack ad against Ohio opponent Amy Acton featuring her mother, estranged since a rape charge by Acton against her stepfather when she was a child. Vance said he's disgusted by other Republicans whining about it ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/21/v...

I am hoping like hell that Amy Acton is getting buried in campaign donations and volunteers. We must let Trump, Vance, Ramaswamey, and every other pig out there know with our loudest voices: YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!! I mean it. We must not let this happen. We need to be willing to die on this hill.

"Amy Acton is going to kick your ass." Wes Moore completely unleashes on live TV, blasting Vivek Ramaswamy's sickening attack ad exploiting a survivor's trauma. Absolute fire energy calling out the total moral bankruptcy of a campaign built on hurting people.

Gen Z Ohio memes notwithstanding STAND WITH AMY ACTON. Like even if you don’t want to vote for her. Because the ad against her was pure evil. Calling on my former party members to denounce it, Sitting Gov. Mike DeWine led a great example. Be like him.

The backlash over an Ohio campaign ad attacking Amy Acton, the Democratic nominee for governor, spread beyond the state’s borders Thursday, causing fresh headaches for Republicans Now, Gov. Mike DeWine criticized Vivek Ramaswamy, a fellow Republican that he endorsed apnews.com/article/elec...

But when they do go to authorities, reactionaries find other reasons to doubt them. Amy Acton went to the authorities and got her father charged with child rape. He became a fugitive rather than stand trial. The Cornell 7 accuser went to the authorities and they brushed her off.

Taking the lowest road possible, Vivek Ramaswamy has released an ad featuring his opponent Amy Acton's estranged mother criticizing her. What the ad leaves out? Her mother stayed married to a man that was indicted for sexually assaulting Amy when she was 12. Please vote this horrible man out.

🤔Seems he's an ongoing disappointment. "Angered by Vivek Ramaswamy's [2024 presidential] campaign rhetoric that at times amplified far-right conspiracy theories, some of his fellow alumni at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati want him] removed from the Jesuit school's board of trustees" 2024:

Trump again on the Ramaswamy Ad- says “the mother is calling the daughter a terrible person and a liar.” “Why would you shield somebody from that? Why would we do that?” Tells Vivek to leave the ad up and “thank god” then wishes he could have done an ad like that?

So disgusting using what happened to Amy Acton when she was a little girl as an attack ad! Totally disgusting and completely below the belt line! If I was a resident of her state, I’d vote for her. I send a germ free hug to Ms Acton if a hug is wanted. 🫂

I despair not only about what this country has become, but what it has always been. Those who would use such deeply personal pain against another human being just to achieve power they want to exert over others. Words fail me. We cannot fail Amy Acton. luciantruscott.substack.com/p/we-owe-amy...
