Columbus, Ohio- Vivek Ramaswamy is hitting the campaign trail while facing bipartisan backlash over his disturbing campaign ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged and abusive mother. Even Republican Governor Mike DeWine called the ad “deeply troubling.” As he desperately tries to salvage his failing campaign, here are five questions Vivek Ramaswamy must answer:
- Will you apologize to Dr. Acton for using her mother for political gain, even after her mom stayed with her own daughter’s sexual abuser until the day he died?
- Are you accusing Dr. Acton of lying about facts that have been proven over and over, including with court documentation?
- Are you worried about losing support from your own party after multiple prominent Republicans denounced the ad?
- Why are you campaigning with and platforming sexual predators and abusers as part of your campaign strategy?
- How can Ohioans trust you to keep our children safe?
