Vivek Ramaswamy has always been a disgusting person. Although I did not think it possible, he has outdone himself with his smears of his election rival, Dr. Amy Acton. As Red Painter explained, Ramaswamy is running ads against Acton, trying to paint her as a liar for reporting her stepfather to authorities after he sexually abused her. He was subsequently arrested and charged. But he failed to show up at a court hearing and became a fugitive.

Acton was removed from the home, something a court does not do without ample, sound evidence, and remains estranged from her biological mother. Her mother never acknowledged her husband’s abuse.

For some reason, Ramaswamy thinks it’s a great issue for his struggling gubernatorial campaign in Ohio. Far from apologizing after widespread, even bipartisan revulsion, he’s spending $4 million to keep running it.

Now, new footage has emerged of Ramaswamy belittling Acton for being a childhood victim of sexual abuse.

In the video unearthed by FactPost, Ramaswamy ironically paints himself as a gubernatorial candidate “with a positive vision for our state.” Acton, on the other hand, has no vision “other than to complain about what someone else did to her."

I guess he thought she should have just shut up, "taken it," and stayed in the home.

Words fail me about the depth of this guy’s cruelty and depravity.

It's Trumpers like this that make it so important to check your registration and vote as early as you can!
