Vivek Ramaswamy defends ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother and says it has nothing to do with childhood abuse

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy on Friday defended his campaign’s ad featuring the estranged mother of Democratic rival Dr. Amy Acton in the closely watched race for Ohio governor. Speaking at a campaign stop in northeast Ohio, he said the advertisement, which features Acton’s mother calling her “a liar,” had nothing to do with childhood abuse. “The irony is they’re lying about an ad that is about lying,” Ramaswamy said. “They’re changing the subject because they don’t want to answer for their own failures.”The advertisement features Acton’s birth mother, Donna Arthur, criticizing her and insinuating she has mental health issues. Arthur lost custody of her children after her husband, the children’s stepfather, was indicted for raping Acton. Acton is Ohio’s former public health director and has made no secret of facing homelessness and abuse as a child. She has condemned Ramaswamy for the ad. “I won’t normalize somebody who has said that my childhood is just something I’m complaining about.” she told Spectrum News, a cable news outlet in Ohio.
