Vance Says He’s ‘Disgusted’ by GOP Pushback to Ramaswamy ad Featuring Amy Acton's Estranged Mother
Vance says Republicans should focus on winning the race as the $4 million ad draws bipartisan criticism and Acton calls it political exploitation.
- On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance dismissed Republican criticism of Vivek Ramaswamy's controversial campaign advertisement targeting Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton, urging party members to focus on winning the election.
- Ramaswamy's $4 million advertisement features Acton's estranged mother, Donna Arthur, who accuses her daughter of lying; the spot ignited bipartisan fury upon its Tuesday release as critics accused the campaign of weaponizing childhood sexual abuse.
- Acton's brother, Phil Stearns, released a video defending his sister, stating, "I received a lot of abuse, but Amy always got the worst of it." Acton said Ramaswamy exploited her personal history for political gain.
- High-Profile Republicans, including former presidential candidate Nikki Haley, slammed the ad, with commentator Meghan McCain calling it "dastardly." Vance countered that he was "a little bit disgusted" by GOP members whining rather than focusing on defeating Democrats.
- With Election Day just 13 days away, recent polling shows a competitive race. Vance told fellow Republicans to "stop whining about an advertisement and go win the race," prioritizing the broader political agenda over the ad controversy.
