Behind closed doors, very little of this went over well with the state’s other Republican Party bigwigs, many of whom were furious at Ramaswamy for doing something that could imperil the elections of others on the Ohio GOP ticket
Yeah, they didn’t care about the ad, just that it could drag them down with him.
“You idiot! Empathy is still polling too high!”
Fuck this asshole.
Later babe, we are talking politics.
Sure thing! But then what are we gonna do about Vivek?
Weird. I thought Rape apologia was the GOP’s bread and butter.
Yeah too little too late, it was a move someone who knows they’re losing pulls and instead of being classy he did a low thing that made his opponent look way more sympathetic and her mom look so much worse with the slightest investigation, and ties the Republican party more and more with defending rapist pedophiles.
Don’t you worry! They’ll have forgotten all about this come next election cycle
Thinking is energy intensive and a hard thing to do, it is much easier to forget and not think about it, be it the richest person or the poorest person who make short term decisions that fuck everyone around them over, it’s just a matter of scale.
So on brand for the republican party. It’s the outcome they are unhappy with, not their decisions.
Who could have possibly foreseen that victim blaming an abused 9-12 year old could backfire…
And zero remorse. They only care that about the effect it had on themselves.
But you know who genuinely can’t see it backfiring? Absolute sociopaths.
This is what you get when all of your thoughts and actions are driven by greed and hate.
Ramaswamy’s ad may have ensured a Democrat wins the Senate.
Only if those voters care enough to go out and vote.
I’ve already voted.
Me too! Not in ohio though.
of course, judging by your username you must be registered in Dor Daedeloth
Nope. Angband
“Our numbers cratered, everyone screamed at us, I don’t want to ever repeat anything like this again,” a Ramaswamy ally says. “We could not escape it.”
🤣
Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions…
He fucked around…
Hopefully the middle of next week he’ll be firmly in ‘find out’ territory.
It would be amazing if this blows back on the entire party and is the straw on the camel that pushes Dems over the line.
You don’t want to elect a guy who doesn’t stand by what he said or did, do you?
He’s shown himself to be a paragon of Republican values, I don’t know what all the fuss is about. Supporting and spreading the lies of pedo rapists is what this administration is all about.
These republicans need to quit their whining this is what they want, they want to defend the rapests and pedos.
(my bold)
It took 10 long, brutal days, but it appears that Ohio’s GOP gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy is crying uncle: His campaign will stop airing his “rapist protector mom” ad.
How on earth could he have ever thought that was a good idea omg 😂
