Thank you Brett. It's not usually this clear, but this is a case of good vs. evil. Absolutely.

In my opinion, it's been perfectly clear since the Access Hollywood interview.

I knew he was an excuse for a human being long before then. I do not understand why that interview didn't remove him from society. He's allowed his level of behavior to become acceptable in America. We have to go back to being polite. We need our elected leadership to be able to speak without interjecting foul language into their every sentence. My young grandson is not allowed to watch the news because of that.

​I cannot believe that any human being said this: "Vivek Ramaswamy, when confronted about the ad (of Amy Acton's mother) by a reporter, said Acton being a victim of childhood sexual abuse makes her “flawed,” adding, “in politics sometimes it’s a tough sport.”

Holding a position of responsibility for millions of people's lives is not a sport or game. What is wrong with these people? This is astoundingly evil.

That she was able to recover from this start to her life to become as successful and contribute so much to society in her work is an amazing testament to her character.

Absolutely. Violence, cruelty, abuse and death-dealing ARE sport to these people. They have become depraved enough to not see any difference.

Ramaswamy is despicable

Why hasn't he been picked up by ICE?

Lauren's avatar

He is republican

How anybody could still have an ounce of respect left for this guy, or dementia Donnie for that matter, after this is beyond me.

Trump will not move to dominate Iran. Iran is Putin's ally, and his doorway to the middle east. Russia provided Iran with intelligence to bomb our bases. So either Putin is using Iran to soften our bases, or Iran is his ally.... Either way, Trump is being played, and we are all paying th price for that.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Such a fool. Putin's fool. Useful idiot, thanks to about 70 million Americans who bought the lies and sold their souls. Now we all pay the price and Bmandiego said. Let's not allow that to get in the way of going after these filthy, decrepit, dirty old men. Vote their slimy asses out of all government, all influencial positions,... grab 'em by the dollars, and make 'em PAY!

Trump, Ramaswamy, blanche are all horrible, horrible people. I truly don't know what to say anymore. He's dragged our country into the gutter.

Flawed is right, only it’s Vivek and his puppet master who are flawed. Vivek’s puppet master also likes young girls.

Danene Baucom's avatar

My thoughts exactly!

Joyce's avatar

And with some of his latest comments, I am also thinking perhaps young boys. Wonder what that would do to magas who hate all but their own.

Amyp's avatar

That thought has crossed my mind as well. I know Epstein had some boys on hand as well as the girls.

Mindy Kurtzman's avatar

Flawed?? You mean like being heartless? Mean and cruel? I would say that’s a much bigger flaw than any flaws Amy Acton has.

Steve Boverie's avatar

Yes, that is such a schmuck answer. I have met sex abuse survivors and they have to work hard to recover from being preyed up on, to say that Amy Acton is flawed requires him to look in a mirror. Ramyswamy is more flawed than Amy Acton. I hope she wins by a large margin.

Lauren's avatar

As a sexual abuse survivor perpetrated by family and strangers, I would vote for Amy in a heartbeat.

Ramaswamy is a POS as is tRump and the remaining MAGATS with him. Nonsense to the Senate race in Alaska. Take note that there are 2 Dan Sullivan’s and they each have separate initials. It also states on the ballot which one is the incumbent. No excuse possible. If you can’t read the alphabet, bring your kindergarten teacher to the polls. DOJ will lose this lawsuit. 🤬

Not if the judge is a Trump II appointment

Linda Harris's avatar

Thanks, as always, for your great reporting Brett. I have really had it with the republican party. They have become so despicable that words cannot express my revulsion. Alaska is just the first of how many interferences we will have to face. We need to burn it all down and I do not want to hear a single democrat say Let's just move on. NO, we want accountability and we want it now. Start with kegsbreath, then patel, blanche, and move on right through the entire cabinet. For outside sources start with Musk, but freeze his assets first.

Dee Cee's avatar

This. Full stop.

Kate's avatar

Yep. I agree we can't say, 'Let's move on." NO WAY!! I am so disgusted with this horrible regime! 10 years and counting! WE WANT ACCOUNTABILITY!!!

Quote of the day : "I don't care" Sums up the man in three words. That should be on every political ad run by Dems, every speech by a Dem candidate. Repeat, repeat, repeat. The resident lunatic in the White House fumbles again.

sheryl jeffries's avatar

Thanks so much for the update, Brett. Trump is going to try to steal the midterms which we shouldn't be surprised if.

He's despicable and doesn't deserve to be in the white house.

Congratulations on your book.

The word “comeuppance” comes to mind for what I hope describes post-November 3 politics in America.

Vivek saying Amy Acton is "flawed" because she is a rape victim is lower than low. She is a shining example of strength and overcoming adversity, something the slimy scumbag knows -0- about.

Deb Zim's avatar

But yet my Ohio relatives are still voting for him.

John Widdowson's avatar

I'm sorry. I have relatives that would do the same if they lived in Ohio.

Susan's avatar

Ramaswampy needs to lose big time and I wrote RamaSWAMPY because he is mucky sludge. Amy Acton's birth person (because she is no Mother) looks like she doesn't have 2 brain cells to rub together.

Linda (Evanston IL)'s avatar

Even Ohio Republican Governor Mike DeWine wanted the ad taken down.

Deb Zim's avatar

But he said he's not withdrawing his endorsement, nor his vote. This attitude gives permission for many Ohioans to vote for the scum.

Teresa Thomson's avatar

Trump wants Amy to lose and will do or say anything to try and destroy another human being!!!!!! Remember he’s a malignant narcissist, they enjoy destroying others, I have done the research! N

Kathy's avatar

Sure Melanie takes credit for what the Pope did, as well as Michele Obama and Jill Biden did. Does she not realize the truth always comes out.

Maybe she should focus on controlling her two year old husband from his insults and lies to the American people. He is the most dishonest, corrupt, evil person and should be removed immediately. VOTE BLUE!!!
