They cut out the part where the mother said Acton was lying about having to live in a tent, because Acton told the truth. So now it's just her mother, who sided with a twice-indicted sexual abuser over her daughter, claiming Acton is a liar. Truly one of the worst ads ever.
Update: there is now a 30 second version of the Vivek Ramaswamy ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 30-second version removes the mother's specific claim from the longer original ad that Acton lied about living in a tent as a child, which is contradicted by court records and other evidence supporting her account of childhood abuse and homelessness.

So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

After campaigning on releasing the Epstein files, Trump as president declared the whole thing a "hoax." Now he's chosen to end the 2026 midterms repeatedly defending a mother who abandoned her 12-year-old daughter after her husband raped her kid.

REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
