Story has it that some instinct caused Vivek Ramaswamy to second guess whether he had gone too far with his attack ad starring Amy Acton’s biological mother. That instinct was right. Unfortunately, Ramaswamy had another instinct, to call Donald Trump and ask him what he thought of the ad, and of course Trump told him to bulldoze on through with it. Maybe that’s why the latest poll has Amy Acton leading with seven points, instead of the two that she led with pre-ad.
It’s hopeful that Ramaswamy’s ad will blow up in his face. He may have done Acton an invaluable service. His ad, just by being produced, showed how Acton and her brother grew up under the most dreary of circumstances. Acton became a doctor and now a politician and just what achievements those are may now be more discernable than before to the people of Ohio.
Ramawamy doesn’t know where the lines of decency are drawn. That’s sad for him and hopefully Ohio will assert its own decency and vote against Ramaswamy.
From two points down before releasing the ad, to seven points down afterward. KARMA! ! !
I guess that accusing a victim of lying about being molested as a child is still not a good political move even in today’s environment.
There may be hope for the electorate in Ohio after all…….perhaps a beginning spark of human decency.
