华盛顿——特朗普总统周四称赞俄亥俄州共和党州长候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米投放的“极具冲击力的广告”，该广告以民主党州长候选人艾米·阿克顿的疏远母亲为主角。总统批评共和党州长迈克·德万呼吁撤下该广告。
特朗普在真相社交平台上发帖称，他建议拉马斯瓦米保留该广告，并表示媒体“试图让所有人都认为这则广告不好，因为它太出色了！”这则广告周一首次在社交媒体上流传，如今已登上电视荧屏，主角是阿克顿的疏远母亲唐娜·亚瑟，她称阿克顿是“骗子”，并试图破坏她的公信力。阿克顿的竞选团队谴责了这则广告，她的兄弟菲利普·斯滕斯称其为“卑鄙无耻的下限操作”。
根据阿克顿竞选团队提供的法庭文件，亚瑟已故的丈夫曾被指控强奸阿克顿，阿克顿称此事发生在她10至12岁时。被告提出了无罪抗辩，并在保释期间逃离了当地，案件从未进入审判程序。
德万周四表示，他认为拉马斯瓦米的竞选团队应该撤下该广告。“投放这则广告是错误的，”这位俄亥俄州共和党人对记者说，“我敦促拉马斯瓦米的竞选团队撤下这则广告。”德万并未撤回对他的背书。
但副总统J·D·万斯和特朗普本人都为这则广告辩护，并借此批评阿克顿。
“维韦克·拉马斯瓦米发布了一则极具冲击力的广告，内容是一位母亲称她的女儿艾米·阿克顿——这位正在竞选俄亥俄州州长的人——是个骗子，甚至更糟，”特朗普在他的社交媒体帖子中写道，“媒体正联手发动协调一致的攻击，试图迫使维韦克·拉马斯瓦米‘撤下广告’。坦率地说，如果任何人的母亲以这种方式谈论自己的女儿，通常都会导致这个女儿无法担任公职，更不用说州长一职了。”
特朗普在帖子中并未提及阿克顿和她生母疏远的原因，也没有提及这个家庭的任何背景故事。
就在他发帖后不久，在白宫南草坪，记者向特朗普透露了相关背景——阿克顿的母亲一直与被指控强奸阿克顿的男子保持婚姻关系。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻资深白宫记者魏佳·江问总统，为什么任何人都应该听信这位疏远母亲的言论。
“嗯，我对此一无所知，”总统回应道，“我只知道这位母亲说了阿克顿的很多坏话，我猜这位阿克顿正在和维韦克竞选州长。我能说的是，维韦克很棒。而且我知道一件事，如果我的母亲这样说我，这绝对会成为重大新闻。所以我不清楚具体情况，但我猜这位母亲确实说了这位州长候选人的很多坏话。我认为大家应该认真看待这件事。”
“我为这则广告辩护，因为我知道如果这则广告是关于我母亲的，你们会喜欢的，你们会从头到尾都喜欢，”特朗普补充道。
在帖子中，总统专门抨击了德万。
“我们俄亥俄州的共和党在野党州长迈克·德万——很遗憾我多年前帮他当选了，当时他在我为他举办集会之前还落后16个百分点——和往常一样，对共和党不忠，”特朗普写道，“他强烈建议维韦克‘撤下广告’。他可能希望民主党人获胜，当然也不希望有人比他更胜任这份工作。另一方面，我建议维韦克保留广告……”
特朗普补充说，他只希望“我的对手们的母亲能有勇气站出来，解释他们的儿子或女儿是骗子，甚至更糟”。
“谁会不使用这样的广告呢？”特朗普写道，“我会的，这叫做‘挖到宝了’。”
万斯也为这则广告辩护，称批评该广告的共和党人应该“别再抱怨了”。
正在寻求连任的俄亥俄州共和党参议员约翰·赫斯特表示，他“不会投放这样的广告”。
即将卸任的南卡罗来纳州众议员南希·梅斯称这则广告是“本届选举季最可耻、最恶心、最冒犯人的广告”。
俄亥俄州务卿、共和党人弗兰克·拉罗斯告诉当地ABC电视台，他“可能不会投放这样的广告，但每位候选人都可以自己做决定”。
阿克顿的兄弟本周早些时候表示，“维韦克·拉马斯瓦米堕落到如此卑鄙无耻的地步，竟然试图将艾米12岁时遭受的性虐待——由我们生母的丈夫所为——作为政治话题，这并不令人意外。”
“我们的生母一直与艾米的强奸犯保持婚姻关系，直到他去世，”斯滕斯说，“这场孤注一掷、令人作呕的攻击恰好暴露了维韦克·拉马斯瓦米的本质——一个可悲的男人，只要能达到目的，就愿意伤害任何人。”
Trump says he recommended “powerful” Ramaswamy ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother stay up
October 22, 2026 / 5:41 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — President Trump on Thursday praised the “very powerful ad” Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is running featuring the estranged mother of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton. The president criticized Republican Gov. Mike DeWine for calling for the ad to be taken down.
Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social that he suggested Ramaswamy keep the ad up, saying the press is “trying to convince everyone that this Ad is bad, because it’s so good!” The ad, which first circulated on social media on Monday and is now television, features Acton’s estranged mother, Donna Arthur, who called Acton a “liar” and sought to undermine her credibility. Acton’s campaign condemned the ad, and her brother, Philip Stearns, called it a “despicable low.”
According to court documents provided by the campaign, Arthur’s now-deceased husband was charged with raping Acton, which she said occurred when she was between 10 and 12 years old. He entered a not guilty plea and left the area while out on bond; the case never went to trial.
DeWine on Thursday said he thought the Ramaswamy campaign should take the ad down. “It’s wrong to run this ad,” the Ohio Republican told reporters. “I would urge Ramaswamy’s campaign to take this down.” DeWine did not rescind his endorsement.
But Vice President JD Vance and now Mr. Trump are defending the ad and using it to criticize Acton.
“Vivek Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Amy Acton, who is running for Governor of Ohio, is a liar, and much worse,” Mr. Trump wrote in his social media post. “The Press, in a concerted and well coordinated attack, is trying to get Vivek Ramaswamy to ‘take down the Ad.’ Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about a daughter in that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving in Office, let alone the Office of Governor.”
In his post, Mr. Trump did not mention why Acton and her birth mother are estranged, or any of the family’s backstory.
Shortly after his post, on the White House South Lawn, reporters told Mr. Trump the backstory — that Acton’s mother stayed married to the man charged with raping her. CBS News senior White House reporter Weijia Jiang asked the president why anyone should listen to what the estranged mother has to say.
“Well I know nothing about it,” the president responded. “All I know is the mother said very bad things about Acton, who I guess is running for governor against Vivek. And all I can say is Vivek is great. And I know one thing, if my mother said bad about me, it would be a major news story, that’s for sure. So I don’t know what it is, but I guess the mother said very bad things about the one who’s running for governor. And I think you have to say that seriously.”
“I’m defending it because I know that if that ad were about my mother, you would love it, you would love every inch of it,” Mr. Trump added.
In his post, the president specifically went after DeWine.
“Our RINO Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, who I unfortunately helped get elected years ago, when he was losing by 16 points prior to my doing a Rally for him was, as usual, disloyal to the Republican Party,” Mr. Trump wrote. “He strongly suggested that Vivek should, ‘take down the Ad.’ He probably wants a Dumocrat to win, and certainly doesn’t want someone who will do a much better job than he is capable of doing. I suggested, on the other hand, that Vivek should keep it up…”
Mr. Trump added he only wishes the “mothers of my opponents would be so brave as to come forward and explain that their son or daughter is a liar, and much worse.”
“Who wouldn’t use such an Ad?” Mr. Trump wrote. “I would, it’s called, ‘hitting pay dirt.’”
Vance, too, defended the ad, saying Republicans who have criticized it should “stop whining.”
Ohio Republican Sen. John Husted, who is running for reelection, said he “would not have run that ad.”
Outgoing Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina called the ad the “most shameful, disgusting, offensive ad this election season.”
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Republican, told a local ABC station he “probably wouldn’t run an ad like that, but every candidate gets to make their own decision.”
Acton’s brother said earlier this week 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.”
“Our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died,” 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.”
