Amy Acton’s Campaign Issues EXPLOSIVE Statement After Her Own Mother Absolutely Destroys Her in Devastating Ad

Ohio Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton and her campaign are going on a rampage after experiencing a nasty October surprise last night.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported earlier, Donna Arthur, the estranged mother of Democratic candidate Amy Acton, has come out calling her daughter a “liar” and urging people not to vote for her.

In a new anti-Acton ad circulating on social media, Arthur is seen telling voters, “don’t let her become your governor,” and that she’ll make Ohioans’ lives “worse.”

“I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent — it’s not easy for a mother to say this, but Amy has a serious problem,” Arthur says in the ad.

“She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life.”

“My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that,” she continues.

“Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.”

BREAKING OVERNIGHT: In a huge surprise, Amy Acton’s own MOTHER just went on camera urging Ohioans NOT to vote for her daughter for governor

“My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother…Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true.”

“My daughter needs help…Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.”

Now her own mother says it all isn’t true.

Fifteen days out, this is one HELL of an October surprise for Ohio Democrats and Vivek Ramaswamy must be loving it!

Acton’s “hard luck” childhood story has been the heart of her campaign pitch since day one!

Arthur first disputed Acton’s story back in 2020, when Acton was running Ohio’s COVID response

Acton’s campaign later released a statement from the candidate’s brother, Phillip Stearns, which accused her GOP opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, of using “the sexual abuse Acton endured from her mother’s husband into a political talking point.”

He also claimed that their mother stayed married to the alleged r*pist until he died.

“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,” said Stearns.

“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.”

As Conradson notes, Acton says she was neglected as a child after her parents divorced at age three and that “she lived in 18 different places in a 12-year period, including in a tent one winter, before eventually going to stay with her dad and his relatives.”

Arthur, though, claims Acton is exaggerating or inventing stories about her childhood, including abuse from her stepfather between the ages of 9 and 12.
