Mudslinging Showdown in O HI O

[I'll be ready!]

Vivek Ramaswamy and Amy Acton are going at it with no holds barred.
Amy's own mom is speaking out against her own daughter in ads running frequently. I think it maybe going too far but Mom says daughter is unstable. What say ye? Going too far or honest ad? Should be easy to find and watch. This is our Gov race.

From what I've read:
Amy accused her stepfather of molesting her. Stepfather took off. Mother stuck with stepfather. Amy's father allegedly pushed Amy to make the accusations so he could get custody. Is the mother blinded by her love for her husband, or is she complicit? There was no trial - so who knows what the truth is.

I do know Amy pushed for things during covid shutdown that hurt the people of Ohio.

Oops JD Vance is telling Vivek to take his ad down. I'm just reading that.

I missed the COVID stuff in 2020. What she had done. Must do more research.

First I’ve never heard of this situation, but that’s pretty terrible. Family should just stay quiet if they don’t support their daughter’s political leanings…IMO. I don’t think Amy should be broadcasting this either though unless the guy was prosecuted and found guilty.

I think the ad was ill advised.
It smacks of desperation and also reflects the state of our culture.

Is this a left vs right thing or a couple candidates riding the fence?

Vivek is a Republican nominee for governor of Ohio. Interestingly enough, he voted Libertarian in 2004, then skipped voting in 2008, 2012 and 2016. He then supported Trump in 2020. Take that for whatever it’s worth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Ramaswamy

Dem and GOP

NBC got ahold of this Ad tonight and ran some of it on the news.

I think that it's 4D chess.

Gosh, the [First] Party is making attack ads using family members of the [Other] Party's candidate to attack the candidate?

Why, that's unprecedented!

Not saying it's a good idea, and indeed it probably deserves to blow up in your face. But if you're a member of the [Other] Party and you're outraged that someone would make an ad like this, maybe you should take a seat.

It's a pretty common (unfortunately) occurrence in the history of American politics. Tit for tat.

Yep. I'm not getting any more upset about this particular instance than I would about any other.
