COLUMBUS, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – Vivek Ramaswamy can take the criticism, and he’s chosen to take some more.
The Republican candidate for governor has ordered another four million dollars worth of those campaign ads featuring the estranged mother of Democrat candidate Amy Acton, where the woman she has not seen since 1978 calls her a liar.
President Trump was asked about the ad, saying it really references a family matter that should stay that way…
Vice President JD Vance though went after Republicans who were critical of the ad, saying they should stop their “whining” and realize that politics can be brutal in support of a party’s candidate.
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is looking into complaints filed over the ad.
LaRose says he’ll make sure the spot follows applicable election law.
Political experts say it’s not unusual to see two candidates with no experience in politics to be targeted personally, since there’s no record to attack.
