From Trump to Ramaswamy: How Child Rape and Family Abuse Became the New GOP Playbook
This is the kind of attack ad that ends a politician's career. But I'm not talking about Amy Acton's career — I'm talking about Vivek Ramaswamy, who has proven himself to be an absolute bucket of piss, shit, and vomit.
While I expected desperate Republicans to reach new lows, Vivek Ramaswamy's recruitment of Amy Acton's estranged mother is beyond the pale. Ramaswamy's new attack ad is a level of vile degeneracy not even I anticipated.
For 48 years, Amy Acton has had no relationship with her mother. The most revealing aspect of this situation is that Ramaswamy had no qualms about approving a hit job from an estranged parent who chose to stay married to the pedophile who raped her daughter at age 12.
Before Acton's sexually abusive stepfather, Cledith Arthur, could stand trial, he fled the state and became a fugitive. He managed to evade justice for years, remaining on the run until his death in 2004.
