[0:00] Ohio Republican gubinatorial nominee
[0:02] Vivic Ramasy with a new attack ad pretty
[0:05] fierce uh including the aranged mother
[0:07] of his Democratic challenger Amy Actton.
[0:10] Let's play some of that.
[0:12] >> I love my daughter, but when I saw her
[0:15] lying about her opponent, it's not easy
[0:17] for a mother to say this, but Amy has a
[0:20] serious problem. She is a liar.
[0:24] Uh it's reminding folks that Actton
[0:26] claims she was sexually abused by her
[0:29] stepfather as a child. She hasn't spoken
[0:31] to her mother since she he was charged
[0:34] nearly 50 years ago. So how is Ramasi
[0:36] reacting to what has really been
[0:38] backlash for this ad?
[0:40] >> Yeah, that ad is certainly generating a
[0:43] ton of controversy and Ramaswami isn't
[0:46] backing down, Errol. Uh in fact he spoke
[0:49] recently where he where uh he said that
[0:51] uh his campaign is um it is behind this
[0:55] ad. Um there was some question earlier
[0:57] about where it it it generated from. Uh
[1:00] Axios has reported that the campaign is
[1:02] spending $4 million to mo to promote the
[1:04] ad statewide. Uh after sources say it
[1:07] takes it tested well with persuadable
[1:09] voters. Now Arrow, those are voters who
[1:11] are essentially on the bubble. Uh but
[1:12] his campaign manager uh is is even
[1:15] calling this at a quote campaign ending
[1:17] moment for Actton
