Amy Acton is, reportedly, Kamalaesque in her passion for self-medication.

This is Dr. Amy Acton, the Democrat candidate for Governor.

In 2019, there was a police visit to her home after she and her husband apparently got into a drunken domestic dispute.

According to the police record, after drinking and taking an unknown amount of medication, she allegedly pulled a mirror off the wall, and was about to start driving until her husband talked her out of it.

A medic was dispatched to the scene and advised that Acton be taken to the hospital to get checked out, but she declined.

At the time, she was the director of the Ohio Department of Health.

This is not a person who should be leading anything, except maybe an AA meeting.

I got that from Beege Wellborn, who has a good backgrounder on Amy Acton, including her history of inventing dramatic but false claims of assault that rival Jussie Smollet's.

But why would her own mother call her a liar in a campaign ad? Why would her own mother none-too-subtly imply that she is mentally sick and needs to spend time at a sanitarium rather than the governor's mansion?

Well, it's all odd. Amy Acton says that her step-father raped her at age 12 and that her mother "enabled" it.

Her mother Amy Acton is a fabulist.

A jarring new ad in the Ohio governor's race features Democrat Amy Acton's birth mother denouncing her and calling her a liar -- but Acton says her mom enabled and supported the man who raped her when she was just 12 years old.

Acton's campaign is now accusing her GOP opponent Vivek Ramaswamy of reaching a "despicable low" in the race by dredging up her painful past as a child sex abuse survivor.

In the shocking video, Donna Arthur accused Acton of embellishing her accusations about being sexually abused as a child.

"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," Arthur said in the stunning video clip.

"She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true," Arthur went on. "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."

Acton's camp immediately hit out at Ramaswamy -- a tech exec and 2024 presidential candidate -- after the video surfaced online Tuesday, but it was not clear who was sponsoring the spot.

Ramaswamy's campaign didn't immediately comment Tuesday.

...

"After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy's rapist until he died," he added.

...

Acton currently has a 3.7 percentage point edge over Ramaswamy in the latest RealClearPolitics aggregate of polls -- despite Ohio being deep red since 2016. The state gave President Trump 53% of the vote in 2020 and 55% in 2024.

The Ramaswamy-Acton race has been one of the nation's nastiest this year -- with rampant mudslinging and deeply personal attacks from both sides.

Ramaswamy's allies have sought to paint Acton as unstable and insinuate that she has an issue with alcohol. For her part, Acton has called Ramaswamy a "serial liar" and a "scam artist," refusing to debate him. Her allies have also attacked him over his business affairs.

Rumors had swirled for some time that Ramaswamy's allies were planning to spotlight Arthur, according to lefty Ohio political site The Rooster.

Acton, who helmed the Ohio Department of Health from 2019 through 2020, has been open about her harsh upbringing, making it part of her political origin story.

If Ramaswamey did drop this ad, then it seems likely that he believes he is in fact behind the latest Democrat alcoholic wine-mom, because this is a high-risk move he wouldn't chance if he thought he was ahead.

So, Ohio Morons, vote.

As for the claims of abuse: I obviously don't know if they're true or not. I just read about this five minutes ago.

Her claim that an "armed man" came after her at a campaign event -- which didn't happen -- suggest she might have a histrionic personality disorder and that she might confabulate threats and assaults for attention.

Or she could be a legitimate rape victim who engages in the Democrats' favorite past-time of faking victim status. I don't know.

I do know I would not want to entrust the machinery of the state to this covid Karen who seems to have a substance abuse problem and allegedly poor mental healthy.

If you can't watch the video on Twitter, it's here on Youtube as well.
