To elaborate for anyone else, he had a bunch of sexual predators in his ads, but the one in question was his opponent’s mother who admonished her for everything in life.
Oh, btw, his opponent was sexually assaulted by a parent and the mother in question enabled it. He doubled down over and over that it was just politics and ended up spending millions on that particular campaign, even after the rest of the world was like “wait, rape is bad, right?”.
Sexual assault can be a bit vague of a term. To be clear, she was raped by her stepfather. He went to jail and her mother took his side. And Dr. Acton was eventually removed from her mother’s care for good reason.
Edit: I got it slightly wrong. /u/booly said this:. I appreciate their correction
[H]e [the step father] was facing criminal charges for raping her from the ages of 9 to 12, so her mother actively helped him flee the state and hide from justice until he died 25 years later. The mother chose to stand by her child’s rapist, moving states with him and leaving her children behind, so the state where they were left behind had to take the abandoned children into custody.

Ramaswamy tracked down the mother and said “yeah, let’s get her on camera to call Acton a liar.”
Oh. Thanks for clarifying. I remember hearing somewhere that he’d gone to jail. I must’ve misremembered.
Yeah, the whole story needs to be told because it’s just so, so much worse than even what you were saying.
Yeah. Thanks, I appreciate that.
I agree.
