Any mother who would throw her daughter under the bus in public doesn’t understand what a mother is all about.

But her Dr. Amy Acton’s brother, Phil Stearns, who, unlike his mother, has had things to do with his sister since 1978:

“Our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died,” Mr. Stearns said. “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.”

He also had another thing to say:

The Acton campaign quickly released its own ad featuring Dr. Acton’s brother saying he was abused, but his sister was abused far worse as she sought to protect him.

It is highly doubtful that both siblings would lie, especially as there is a documented paper trail.

Ramaswamy comes off as a desperate creep who doesn’t seem to have any inkling about the nature of childhood abuse, making him a poor choice as a governor. If he is willing to do that to a rival, then I shudder to think how other victims of abuse who do not have parental protection would fare.

He lacks critical thinking skills, empathy, and skepticism. All he has managed to do is ensure that people will march into the polling booth and vote for his rival.
