JD Vance Glorifies A Pedophile Rapist To Defend Vivek's Disgusting Ad

Should we be surprised after finding out Trump is a big part of the Epstein Files, that his VP would side with a rapist who fled the police?
JD Vance Glorifies A Pedophile Rapist To Defend Vivek's Disgusting Ad
By John Amato — October 22, 2026

VP JD Vance wasted no time at all defending Vivek Ramaswamy's horrific ad against his Democratic opponent Amy Acton, who was raped as a child by her stepfather, Cledith Arthur. Arthur then was arrested and indicted for the rape of his 12-year old stepdaughter by a grand jury, but skipped town, living as a fugitive until he died in 2004.

Acton has roughly a 4-point lead at this point using RCP's average so Ramaswamy is going as low as possible.

In this clip you'll see JD Vance lying and supporting the rapist of an underage girl to do so.

VANCE: And the whole time, Vivek has stood tall and he has talked about what he wants to accomplish for the people of Ohio. And now, the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because, guess what?

Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar.

And my message, ladies and gentlemen, is very simple.

Whatever you think about any of the TV advertisements, focus on the substance and focus on the facts.

Whenever JD Vance discusses the "facts" you know he's lying.

The MAGA cult tried to overthrow the government in service to Demented Donald so you know they will do and say anything to stay in power.

They used to be offended by pedophiles, but Vance defended an indicted rapist of a 12-year old girl who went on the run to escape prosecution.

Where are the Pizzagate scumbags now? Every accusation is a confession. Republicans enable pedophiles, glorify child rapists, and are proud of it.
