Vance says he’s ‘disgusted’ by GOP pushback to Ramaswamy ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother

Vice President JD Vance stated on Wednesday that he is "disgusted" by the Republican pushback against a campaign ad released by Vivek Ramaswamy. Vance made the remarks during a campaign visit to Columbus, Ohio.

The controversial ad features the estranged mother of Amy Acton, Ramaswamy's Democratic opponent in the Ohio gubernatorial race. The inclusion of Acton's mother drew criticism from some members of the Republican party, prompting Vance's public defense of the video and his criticism of those within his own party who objected to it.
