INTRO: Vice President J-D Vance addressing the controversy over a recent campaign ad from Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy (R). The ad in question featuring the estranged mother of Democratic candidate Amy Acton (D) calling the candidate a “liar,” and insisting the Democrat has a “serious problem.” The vice president says he’s not concerned about whether the ad was appropriate, and insists Republicans need to focus on trying to win the elections.
ACK: Vice President J-D Vance
TAG: The ad has now been condemned by members of both parties. Acton has said that her estranged mother was abusive, and stood by a man who had sexually abused her.
KEYWORD: Politics, Legal, Crime
