In what is being called a bombshell in the Ohio race for governor, the mother of Democrat candidate Amy Acton is urging citizens not to vote for her own daughter, whom she says has “a serious problem” and has “lied her entire life.”
Acton is running against Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, a former presidential candidate and adviser to President Donald Trump.
In a video posted on X by investigative journalist Walter Curt, Acton’s mother says: “My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America.
“I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent – and it’s not easy for a mother to say this – but 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. 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.
“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.”
Curt noted of the video, “That’s one hell of an October surprise.”
