Acton Campaign Manager Statement on Vivek Ramaswamy’s Comments Attacking Dr. Acton for Being A Survivor of Childhood Sexual Abuse
Today, Amy Acton Campaign Manager, Philip Stein, released the following statement regarding Vivek Ramaswamy’s recent comments attacking Dr. Amy Acton for being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse:
“Vivek Ramaswamy’s recent comments attacking Amy — a doctor, a mom, and a survivor — for sharing her experience of being sexually abused as a child are not just disgusting. They are disqualifying.
“It’s unconscionable that Vivek Ramaswamy would do anything but stand with survivors of sexual assault. This shows exactly what kind of governor he would be.
“He should apologize to Amy immediately and support victims of child sexual abuse, instead of shaming and silencing survivors.”
