Who’s behind the video of an Ohio candidate’s mother calling her a liar?

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is confirming his campaign is behind a controversial new attack ad in Ohio's governor's race featuring his Democratic opponent's estranged mother. In the ad, Amy Acton's mother accuses her daughter of lying about her past and says she can't be trusted to lead Ohio. Take a listen. It's not easy for a mother to say this, but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. My daughter needs help, and she can't help you if she needs help herself. The ad is drawing criticism from both Republicans and Democrats. But Ramaswamy is standing by it, and his campaign says it plans to spend $4 million promoting it. Acton has spoken publicly about being sexually abused as a child by her stepfather, who was later charged with rape. She and her brother were removed from their mother's custody. Now, Acton's campaign is firing back with an ad featuring that brother who defends her account of the abuse and condemns Ramaswamy. I received a lot of abuse, but Amy always got the worst of it. 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. Acton also responded on social media saying she has long known her mother was, quote, deeply sick and unwell, and accusing Ramaswamy of exploiting her for political gain.
