Thank you for once again doing this important reporting. It's pretty much the usual suspects, of course, with the exception of the Ohio sports franchises. How can We the People send the message to these behemoths that support of the literal Guardians of Pedophiles is unacceptable to us?
Judd is once proving that sunlight is the best disinfectant. Outing the corporations that paid for Vivek's slime bath. Let's hope the MSM picks up this story, amplifying it further. Until maybe just maybe, these corporations publicly disavow Ramaswamy's odious lack of morality and decency.
Also telling that Vivek aligned himself with the Pedophile-Protection wing of the GOP. Just like his boss, friend and ally, Donald Trump. Attacking the victims of childhood sexual assault just seems like a Republican thing to do.
It looks like the ad wasn’t intended to be released at that time. They were looking for feedback. Instead, it leaked and that’s why originally it didn’t have the proper identification. The leaker made the decision and the campaign ran with it. Because it’s obviously not too low for that campaign probably better that it came out before they had a final plan in place.
“The video’s origins were initially murky when it started circulating online. It first surfaced in a post by an Ohio political blogger, then spread across social media.
From what I heard, yes. After the campaign came out and admitted it was their ad. They made the corrections. Of course now the whole world knows.
Sidenote. It’s much more difficult to Google things without knowing exactly the document you want. The Google Reddit partnership has gone full blast. So basically Reddit is the favorite source. When I questioned the bot about this, it was pretty honest. The algorithms are now what’s popular and community blah blah blah. So when I searched for ELSAYED all the GOP talking points were in the headlines and one Facebook note. it was what I actually requested from NBC.
—NBC - 2012, following the election of Mohamed Morsi in Egypt, then-Rep. Mike Rogers publicly stated U.S. officials would need to reach out and talk to certain members of the Muslim Brotherhood. 2012, Rogers voted for US funding continuing to Egypt, while the Muslim Brotherhood was in power
If you are a customer, call their corporate headquarters and (politely!) explain that you will no longer give them your business until they issue a public statement condemning the ad. That is what I have done with Kroger (my closest grocery store), and I will no longer shop there until they do this.
As an update, I also contacted the "live chat" for customer service at the corporate website, and I provided some background information and also noted that I was boycotting the company until they issued the statement condemning the ad. The chat bot switched me to a live rep when I told it why I was contacting the company, and the live rep confirmed that Customer Service was the appropriate place for this complaint.
Republicans, always running around with one hand on their dicks. just in case they come across a child, or some other bit of sexual rubbish they can fantasize about.
I hope Ohioans recognize the disgusting Vivek for what he is—a fascist liar who will do the most despicable things to obtain power. Her mother is a disgusting criminal as well. Vote for Amy!
Her mother looks so terrible on the ads, like a street person. And to speak of her own daughter like that for national television? Absolutely the BOTTOM of the barrel.
Makes me wonder how much they paid her for that ad.
The subsequent counter-ad, featuring Amy's brother, practically brought me to tears. Amy has been a hero all her life. And Ramaswamy, a corrupt grifter with no moral bottom.
Ramaswamy is just one among thousands who are unable to understand what common decency is. In Trumpworld, winning is the ONLY goal, and if that means achieving that on the bodies of anyone who gets in your way, too bad.
In short, these are people who lack morals. Not people who should be anywhere near power in any government.
They shouldn't be anywhere near children, women, the poor, the disadvantaged, etc, etc, either. An isolation cell in a prison would be appropriate for parasites like Ramaswamy.
Social isolation is also a good tool. These greedy bastards have sought vast money in an attempt to shut out what they consider the “ common man”. When the public no longer admires them, and in fact makes it uncomfortable for them to emerge from their gated, guarded enclaves, they will have to begin to share their wealth just like the Rockefellers , Carnegies etc did through charitable foundations. They may still be filthy rich, but public approbation will moderate their smugness to a large extent.
After all, restricting your social circle, whether chosen or enforced, to fellow money grubbers is a very shallow life. Those people are BORING!
According to the Hill: “The Associated Press, a spokesperson for Ramaswamy’s campaign said Acton’s mother was not paid for the one-minute spot. The spokesperson also said the ad will air both online and on TV as Election Day draws near.” —hopefully each ad will be a reminder of how despicable he is.
So he claims the mother was not paid. It is possible the birth mother did it to get even with her daughter. We are dealing with despicable lying liars so who knows the actual truth?
I would add that Vivek's mother is no saint either. She was instrumental in the "pump and dump" scheme that made Vivek his fortune. I don't agree much with what Nikki Haley has to say usually, but she was spot on in her assessment of this amoral grifter with Trump-like aspirations.
She had her moment in the Republican GOP primary debate with Vivek. He attacked her constantly as corrupt and then dragged her daughter using TikTok into it. He was booed and Chris Christy called him out.
Her mom is the idea of the perfect MAGA wife — when the police try to arrest hubby for sexually assaulting your daughter flee with him to avoid arrest rather than standing by your kids and never reestablish contact with them. The husband always comes first in misogynist MAGA world.
The best way to help Amy Acton is to vote for her. Then boycott every business that provided funds for the ad including the Cincinnati Reds, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns. Those of us who don't live in Ohio can turn off the TV when any of those teams are playing our favorite team and let the network know why we aren't watching.
She is covering up her complicity of aiding the person who was raping her daughter. As tragic as Amy's early childhood was, it is fortunate those 2 pieces of garbage left her. Only then could the healing begin. It is very impressive what she is doing with her life. Amy exhibits the strength and morals that are needed in today's government.
Thanks for exposing the corporations who probably do contribute to both parties just to cover their greedy asses. And they may not have known the content of this this particular ad. But they MUST know by now that the GOP is utterly corrupt and has no bottom to their indecency. To contribute ANY support to this nest of vipers makes them all complicit in the smears, lies and corruption.
Definitely. They had to do a lot of research to find this in her background and then to find the birth mother. So there’s no way they didn’t know that he was arrested and indicted and then a fugitive. Or that he died as a fugitive and the mother had run with him from the law.
Now when the truth comes out, and everyone recoils — except those like him, JD, Vance, and Trump — he goes a step further to say it will continue to run online and on TV up to the election.
Amy Acton's mother appears to have mental illness. It seems, not just from this incident but all of the past events, she has shown time and time again that she is incapable of taking care of herself, her children and her animals. She has been swayed, convinced, coerced and likely had all kinds of abuse hurled and put up on her. I don't feel sorry for her, but in a way, I do. She has, once again, been the victim of abuse and coercion by Ramaswamey and his minions. I believe if we could look at Acton's mother's childhood, we would find it littered with men like her second husband.
As for the corporations, shame, shame, shame, once again, on the companies the run America.
"Actions speak louder than Words"......however, "actions and words" have become intermingled in the hateful ad which Vivek Ramaswamy, the candidate for Ohio governor, chose to run against his opponent, Amy Acton, although there was proof that her life story of being sexually assaulted by her stepfather and abandoned by her mother was true. This was a choice by Ramaswamy and now perhaps he is realizing that this choice has shown his lack of a moral compass and why would voters think they should vote for him to govern the State of Ohio. His ad also shows the lack of moral compass of JD Vance, who has espoused the Trump administration of cruelty, hate and lies.
Ohio should hold its head in shame that winning at any cost is all that matters. Yes, Ohio has been a very red State and the Ohio legislature has kept a lock on power. Voters voted for fair redistricting maps and WE the PEOPLE won but the Republican lawmakers fought to stop the gerrymandering of the State to keep their lock on power.
The corruption in State government has become more and more evident and more and more citizens are waking from the nightmare of the Trump administration and the rot that has creeped into our State government. WE the PEOPLE of Ohio are ready for changes and we must be vigilant and ready to make those changes happen on November 3rd.
Trump & Co: Turning Fed agencies into Trumpian propaganda platforms while running a RICO enterprise that enthusiastically coordinates with war criminals & dictators while transferring wealth to the wealthiest & cutting funds for science research & the neediest among us.
Trump &. Co projection of & gaslighting with their grift fraud & serial criminality is endless.

Vance, too.

“The video’s origins were initially murky when it started circulating online. It first surfaced in a post by an Ohio political blogger, then spread across social media.
It did not include the “paid for” tag that is legally required to air on television so viewers can know who produced and paid for it. D.J. Byrnes, who blogs as “The Rooster,” told CNN he got the video from a voter who viewed it as part of a poll and recorded it.” https://www.cleveland19.com/2026/10/21/ramaswamy-campaign-takes-credit-controversial-ad-featuring-actons-estranged-mother/
TY for the info. Do you know if the general release version of the ad rolled out by the GOP had the "paid by" tag?
From what I heard, yes. After the campaign came out and admitted it was their ad. They made the corrections. Of course now the whole world knows.
Sidenote. It’s much more difficult to Google things without knowing exactly the document you want. The Google Reddit partnership has gone full blast. So basically Reddit is the favorite source.

Horrifying to any sane person. The fact the campaign is doubling down on it with new ad buy is doubly horrifying.
The Republican Party is following Trump’s lead in their race to the bottom.
Nahhh, they'v always grovelled. When they lift their snout out of the trough, It just runs along the ground, consuming shit.

There is no excuse for Vivek’s vicious attack on Amy Acton other than he is desperate and a vile human being. I will not support him or his sponsors.
Republicans, always running around with one hand on their dicks. just in case they come across a child, or some other bit of sexual rubbish they can fantasize about.

Vivak would pay the defense council bills of the Cornell 7 if it helpes Republicans dehumanize women.

My first thought was to "get even." Money certainly wouldn't surprise me.

Amy’s mother aided a fugitive

The man raping her daughter.
The silence of those companies that did not respond is deafening.....they can never wash off the slime .. thank you as always for this

Ramaswamy’s campaign must have known that Arthur was not credible&was in fact vile.
Of course they do. They don’t GAF. Rump has normalized SA.

This is the work of the Epstein class. Vance and Ramaswamy: moral depravity hungering for power.
