Amy Acton's mother Donna Arthur's custody loss of her children back in focus amid Vivek Ramaswamy ad
An advert by Vivek Ramaswamy targeting Amy Acton's mother Donna Arthur has heated up the Ohio gubernatorial race. Donna lost custody of her children in 1978.
Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton's campaign has criticized her Republican opponent Vivek Ramaswamy over a controversial ad featuring her estranged mother, Donna Arthur. The ad, which has circulated on social media, shows Arthur accusing her daughter of lying about her past and stating that she needs help. The video, which has been shared by many users, including Donald Trump Jr., has not been verified for authenticity.
Ramaswamy's campaign spokesperson, Connie Luck, did not deny making the ad but accused Acton of being a "serial fabulist" with "serious problems with the truth." Acton's brother, Philip Stearns, also condemned the ad, calling it a "disgusting attack" that attempts to use Ramaswamy's opponent's history of abuse for political gain.
