Amy Acton's estranged mother has become the center of controversy after a campaign ad by Vivek Ramaswamy. Acton has described the ad as a horrible thing to do. JD Vance has defended the ad despite the criticism. President Trump has also reacted to the ad, calling it a very unusual situation. The campaign of Amy Acton has slammed Ramaswamy over the disputed ad, and court records have reportedly backed Acton's allegations of childhood abuse.
