Conservative commentator Scott Jennings has joined the growing chorus of Republican voices denouncing Vivek Ramaswamy for running an attack ad featuring the estranged mother of his Democratic opponent — and blasted Vice President JD Vance for defending it.
Jennings warned that the ad, which dredged up Amy Acton’s traumatic childhood, would “blow up” in the Republican Party’s face and harm Ramaswamy’s chances in the Ohio gubernatorial race. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is the latest Republican to condemn Ramaswamy for the ad and on Thursday urged him to take it down.
