Comedian Roy Wood Jr. expressed his disdain for Vice President JD Vance after the latter's support of a controversial attack ad against Democratic opponent Amy Acton. The ad featured Acton's estranged mother, Donna Arthur, accusing Vance of lying, which led Wood to joke about his own mother's alleged drug addiction. Wood made the remark while hosting the show "Have I Got News for You" and was met with laughter from the panel, including Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black.
The incident arose from a week-long controversy surrounding the ad, which was widely condemned by both Democrats and Republicans for attacking a sexual abuse victim. Amy Acton, the Democratic candidate, has not had contact with her mother since 1978, and her mother was involved in a highly publicized custody case. Despite facing criticism, Vance defended the ad at a rally in Cincinnati, stating that running the ad was his way of exposing Acton's lies.
