The Cook Political Report shifted the Ohio governor’s race in Democrat Amy Acton’s favor Friday, noting the fallout from a controversial attack ad from her Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy.
The Ramaswamy campaign ad featured Acton’s estranged mother Donna Arthur lambasting her daughter as a “liar” and urging viewers not to vote for her.
Acton has publicly spoken about her troubled childhood for years, well before she ran for office, including the reason her mother lost custody: documented neglect and abuse, most horrifically, Acton’s stepfather sexually abusing her from the ages of 9 to 12. Arthur sided with her husband against her daughter; he fled the state after being indicted and remained a fugitive until his death. Arthur stayed married to him and Acton has not spoken to her since she was 12.
The party throws Vivek under the bus in 3…2…1…
Can someone remind me again why billionaires are so smart and that’s obviously how they made all their money and why they deserve to keep it? This guy makes decisions like he’s trying to finish the Choose Your Own Adventure book as quickly and gruesomely as possible.
He’s on his fourth read-through and just trying to see all the outcomes at this point
He put four million more on running this ad after this firestorm about it being bad.
Great work, Vivek! You’re as dumb as you are douchy. May you have a bedbug infestation for the rest of your hopefully short life.

Good. Vivek’s an idiot.
And a scumbag.
We shouldn’t have spent years slagging off on Ohio. The prophecy has become truth.
