Philip Stearns, Dr. Acton’s brother
“It’s not surprising that Vivek Ramaswamy has stooped to such a despicable low as to attempt to turn the sexual abuse Amy endured at twelve years old from our birth mother’s husband into a political talking point. After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants.”

Acton Campaign Releases Response Ad: “Abuse”
COLUMBUS, OH– Today, Dr. Amy Acton’s campaign for Governor released a new ad, “Abuse,” in response to Vivek Ramaswamy’s disgusting ad featuring Dr. Acton’s estranged and abusive mother, who remained married to Dr. Acton’s rapist until the day he died.
The response ad features Dr. Acton’s brother, Phil Stearns, who speaks out about the abuse he and Dr. Acton experienced during their childhood.
Transcript:
I received a lot of abuse, but Amy always got the worst of it.
She continued to receive that abuse, because she knew she had to protect me from that, and that if she hadn’t done that, who knows where I would have ended up?
When she was 11 and 12 years old, and to think that that’s somehow a talking point.
Shame on Vivek.
It’s the contempt he has for Amy.
It’s the contempt he has for Ohio.
He’s not fit to lead.

RAMASWAMY CAMPAIGN STANDS BY DR. ACTON’S ESTRANGED AND ABUSIVE MOTHER
COLUMBUS, OH– Today, Dr. Amy Acton’s campaign released a statement in response to Vivek Ramaswamy doubling down on the disgusting smear using Dr. Acton’s estranged, abusive mother, who stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died, to attack Dr. Acton.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign released the following statement:
“The choice to use, and then stand by, Dr. Acton’s estranged and abusive mother who stayed married to her rapist stepfather until the day he died shows Ohioans exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is,” said Addie Bullock, spokesperson for the Acton campaign.“Ramaswamy has taken every opportunity possible to campaign with pedophiles, abusers and sex predators while accepting more than $100,000 from Epstein associates and mocking Dr. Acton for being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Ramaswamy will do anything, including embrace child sex predators, to get what he wants. This isn’t just disturbing; it’s disqualifying. Ohio deserves better.”
Typical democrat stuff her own mother calls her out and they continue to lie and throw her under the bus too freaking amazing Amy Acton is a alcoholic/druggie and a liar the police don’t lie for you I suppose they all lied in the police reports also ? Said she grew up in a tent hahaha
