Amy Acton says Trump, Vance should 'look at the facts' after Ramaswamy attack ad
Ohio Democratic Amy Acton spoke to ABC News after a rally in Cleveland with former President Barack Obama.
Former Ohio Democratic gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton spoke to ABC News about the controversy sparked by an attack ad from Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign. Acton alleged that President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance should consider the facts regarding the abuse she endured as a child. The ad featured her estranged mother, Donna Arthur, who claimed that Acton had lied about her past but did not mention allegations of sexual abuse.
Acton stated that she hopes Trump and Vance would look at the facts. Trump dismissed the allegations, stating that the ad has nothing to do with her stepfather, while Vance expressed disgust at Republicans whining about the ad instead of focusing on other issues. Governor Mike DeWine, who had previously endorsed Ramaswamy, did not withdraw his support.
Acton emphasized the importance of working with anyone to solve problems, rather than creating them, and urged survivors of abuse to seek help.
