The fight over who'll be the next Ohio governor is getting ugly with accusations about fitness for the job. And the election is still more than six months away.
Republican Vivek Ramaswamy said Democrat Amy Acton has no vision for the state "other than to complain about what someone else did to her." Ramaswamy posted the remark to his X account on April 14.
Acton's camp says Ramaswamy's comment is an attempt to shame her for her traumatic childhood.
“Vivek Ramaswamy’s recent comments attacking Amy – a doctor, a mom, and a survivor – for sharing her experience of being sexually abused as a child are not just disgusting. They are disqualifying," her campaign manager Philip Stein said in a written statement. “It’s unconscionable that Vivek Ramaswamy would do anything but stand with survivors of sexual assault."
The Ramaswamy campaign said that's not what he meant at all. Ramaswamy has repeatedly spoken about rejecting victimhood, authoring "Nation of Victims" in 2022.
