"description": "Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign is spending $4 million airing an ad that exploits his opponent Amy Acton’s childhood abuse. Major corporate PACs and executives helped finance his campaign. They must stop giving and demand their donations back. An investigation by Popular Information identified contributions from corporate PACs and executives associated with major household names. Bank of America, Kroger, and Johnson & Johnson are among the companies whose PACs donated to Ramaswamy’s campaign. The ad features Acton’s estranged mother accusing her daughter of lying about her childhood. It leaves viewers without the devastating history behind their estrangement. After Acton’s stepfather was indicted for raping her at 12, her mother sided with him and fled Ohio with him as he avoided prosecution. Court records support Acton’s account, and her brother has condemned the campaign’s exploitation of her abuse. Donald Trump and JD Vance have defended the ad, even as other Republicans condemned it. Ramaswamy has responded to the backlash by committing millions to keep it on the air. His corporate donors must face public pressure to withdraw their financial support. Survivors deserve dignity. Corporations bankrolling this cruelty must be held accountable. Click ‘START WRITING’ to sign and send a message to the CEOs of Ramaswamy’s corporate backers demanding they publicly condemn this hateful ad, stop further contributions to his campaign, and demand their previous donations be refunded immediately.",
