Yesterday I received two more Super PAC ads attacking Amy Acton. One was straightforward: a clearly Vivek-aligned super PAC, funded largely by outside billionaires, claiming Acton will destroy Ohio life as we know it. Um, okay. 👍 But the second is more insidious. (Thread)

Ramaswamy has in the past shown plenty of disdain for human hardships. Parading an abusive, r*pe-enabling biological parent out to attack Amy Acton is just one more instance of a man showing he will not slow his personal ambition to give a damn for others. He is no leader.
