美国总统唐纳德·特朗普敦促俄亥俄州共和党州长候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米继续播放一则有争议的广告，该广告邀请了其民主党对手艾米·阿克顿的生母出镜，据印度新闻社报道。
Trump backs Ramaswamy's controversial ad as Ohio Republicans split Donald Trump urged Vivek Ramaswamy to keep airing an featuring Amy Acton's estranged birth mother. The dispute has deepened Republican divisions in Ohio as key statewide races tighten.
特朗普还批评了俄亥俄州州长迈克·德怀恩。德怀恩是共和党人，虽然背书了拉马斯瓦米，但将该广告形容为“极其、极其令人不安”。拉马斯瓦米是一位生物技术企业家和前总统候选人，计划斥资400万美元在网络和电视上播放该广告。
US President Donald Trump has urged Republican Ohio governor candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to continue running a controversial featuring the estranged birth mother of his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton, news agency Press Trust of India reported. Trump also criticised Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, a Republican who has endorsed Ramaswamy but described the as “deeply, deeply troubling”. Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur and former presidential candidate, plans to spend USD 4 million to broadcast it online and on television.
广告中，阿克顿的生母唐娜·阿瑟称女儿为“骗子”，并暗示她有心理健康问题。特朗普在社交媒体帖子中表示，该广告“击中要害”。
The features Acton’s birth mother, Donna Arthur, calling her “a liar” and suggesting that she has mental health problems. Trump said in a social media post that the was “hitting pay dirt”.
提到德怀恩，特朗普写道：“他强烈建议维韦克‘撤下广告’。他大概是想让民主党人获胜，当然也不想要一个能比他胜任得多的人。”特朗普补充道：“另一方面，我建议维韦克继续播放，让大家听听一个有缺陷、不诚实、无能的候选人的母亲，是如何解释她的女儿是一场灾难，会不由自主地撒谎、作弊、偷窃！”德怀恩在俄亥俄州议会大厦对记者回顾了他在担任县检察官和州检察长期间接触强奸幸存者的经历。
Referring to DeWine, Trump wrote: “He strongly suggested that Vivek should, ‘take down the Ad.’ He probably wants a Dumocrat to win, and certainly doesn’t want someone who will do a much better job than he is capable of doing.”Trump added: “I suggested, on the other hand, that Vivek should keep it up, and let everyone listen to the mother of a defective, dishonest, and incapable Candidate, explain how the daughter is a DISASTER who, uncontrollably, lies, cheats, and steals!”DeWine, speaking to reporters at the Ohio Statehouse, recalled the experiences of rape survivors he had dealt with while serving as a county prosecutor and state attorney general.
“播放这则广告是错误的，”他说。“即使到了这个晚期——我妻子弗兰今天早上刚在电视上看到这则广告播出——我只想敦促拉马斯瓦米竞选团队撤下它。”阿克顿曾在德怀恩政府中担任卫生官员，并在新冠疫情期间担任俄亥俄州卫生厅厅长。她曾公开谈论自己童年时期面临无家可归和虐待的经历。
“It’s wrong to run this ad,” he said. “And, even at this late time — my wife, Fran, saw the ad just run this morning on TV — I would just urge the Ramaswamy campaign to take this down.”Acton previously served as a health official in DeWine’s administration and was Ohio’s health director during the COVID-19 pandemic. She has spoken publicly about facing homelessness and abuse as a child.
在唐娜·阿瑟的丈夫、孩子们的继父因强奸阿克顿罪名被起诉后，她的母亲失去了阿克顿和她哥哥的监护权。阿克顿竞选团队周二发布了一段视频，其中她的哥哥支持了她关于住在帐篷里和遭受虐待的说法。
Her mother lost custody of Acton and her brother after Donna Arthur’s husband, the children’s stepfather, was indicted on a charge of raping Acton. Acton’s campaign on Tuesday released a video in which her brother supported her account of living in a tent and facing abuse.
尽管批评了这则广告，德怀恩并未撤回对拉马斯瓦米的背书。他还回忆了阿克顿竞选团队早先的一次攻击，那次攻击提到了拉马斯瓦米的母亲，德怀恩说那是错误的，因为“家庭成员历来一直是禁区”。不过，他指出那项指控并未被用在耗资数百万美元的广告宣传中。
Despite criticising the , DeWine stopped short of withdrawing his endorsement of Ramaswamy. He also recalled an earlier attack by the Acton campaign that mentioned Ramaswamy’s mother and said that was wrong because “family members have always historically been off limits”. However, he noted that the claim was not used in a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign.
夏天的批评引用了一份调查报告，关于吉塔·拉马斯瓦米在其儿子经营的一家制药公司中的角色。阿克顿和其他民主党人将其描述为拉马斯瓦米“雇佣自己的母亲来操纵临床试验数据”。
The criticism during the summer cited an investigative report about Geetha Ramaswamy’s role at a pharmaceutical company run by her son. Acton and other Democrats described it as Ramaswamy “hiring his own mother to manipulate clinical trial data”.
拉马斯瓦米竞选团队称这些指控是“诽谤”，并表示他被要求遵守的标准与阿克顿及其他攻击共和党人家庭的民主党人不同。
The Ramaswamy campaign called those claims “slanderous” and said he was being held to a different standard from Acton and other Democrats who had attacked the families of Republicans.
据PTI报道，竞选发言人康妮·拉克在一份声明中说：“德怀恩州长说得对，在这场竞选中，第一个也是唯一一个攻击对手母亲的候选人是艾米·阿克顿。我们拒绝接受媒体的双重标准。”这场争端加剧了俄亥俄州共和党内部的分裂，因为州长和联邦参议员的竞选在特朗普三次轻松赢下的这个州看来比预期更为胶着。
“Governor DeWine is correct that the first and only candidate to attack the mother of her opponent in this race was Amy Acton,” campaign spokesperson Connie Luck said in a statement, according to PTI. “We refuse to accept the media’s double standards.”The has widened divisions among Ohio Republicans as the races for governor and the US Senate appear closer than expected in a state Trump won comfortably three times.
美国副总统、俄亥俄州本地人JD·万斯对共和党人“抱怨”该广告品味不佳表示厌恶。然而，共和党联邦参议员乔恩·休斯特——德怀恩的前副州长——表示他不会投放该广告。休斯特正在与民主党人谢罗德·布朗进行一场势均力敌的留任竞选。
US Vice President JD Vance, an Ohio native, expressed disgust with Republicans who were “whining” that the was in poor taste. However, Republican US Senator Jon Husted, DeWine’s former lieutenant governor, said he would not have run it. Husted is contesting a close retention race against Democrat Sherrod Brown.
正在竞选州审计长的共和党州务卿弗兰克·拉罗斯也表示他不会投放该广告。前联邦众议员吉姆·雷纳奇在X平台上写道：“俄亥俄州州长共和党竞选的地板可能刚刚塌了”，并敦促共和党人与该广告划清界限。
Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who is running for state auditor, also said he would not have run the . Former US representative Jim Renacci wrote on X that “the floor may have just fallen out from under the Republican campaign for Ohio Governor” and urged Republicans to distance themselves from it.
俄亥俄州共和党主席亚历克斯·特里安塔菲洛在社交媒体上发帖，似乎在警告党内成员。“艰苦竞选的最后几天总是发现谁真正支持你、谁只是发帖装样子的最佳时机，”他写道。“是的——我们在记账。”随后他又跟了一个眨眼表情符号。
Ohio Republican Party chairman Alex Triantafilou responded with a social media post that appeared to warn party members. “The final days of a tough campaign are always the best time to find out who is really with you and who just posts and pretends,” he wrote. “Yes — we are keeping score.”He followed the post with a winking-eye emoji.
该广告在全国范围内也分裂了共和党人。妮基·黑利在2024年共和党总统初选期间曾因拉马斯瓦米人身攻击的性质与其发生冲突，她在社交媒体帖子中称他为“坏人”。“真遗憾他继续逍遥法外，”她写道。
The has also divided Republicans nationally. Nikki Haley, who clashed with Ramaswamy during the 2024 Republican presidential primary over the personal nature of his attacks, called him “a bad guy” in a social media post. “It’s a shame he continues to get away with it,” she wrote.
左倾媒体监督组织“美国媒体事务”报道称，多位保守派媒体人物曾推广并赞扬该广告。拉马斯瓦米的竞选经理乔纳森·尤因将其描述为“艾米·阿克顿竞选生涯的终结时刻”。
Media Matters for America, a left-leaning media watchdog group, reported that several conservative media figures had promoted and praised the . Ramaswamy’s campaign manager, Jonathan Ewing, described it as “a campaign-ending moment for Amy Acton”.
“门户专家”的韦恩·阿林·鲁特称其“绝对滑稽”，《每日连线》主持人迈克尔·诺尔斯则将其形容为“精彩绝伦”。
Wayne Allyn Root of Gateway Pundit called it “absolutely hilarious”, while Daily Wire host Michael Knowles described it as “brilliant”.
警方和法庭记录显示，Cledith Arthur 因强奸 Acton 于 1978 年 7 月被捕并被起诉，当时 Acton 12 岁，这是在其生父提出正式投诉后发生的。据称的虐待发生在 1976 年 12 月至 1978 年 4 月期间。Cledith Arthur 未出庭受审，成为逃犯。Donna Arthur 与他保持婚姻关系，直到他于 2004 年去世。
Police and court records show that Cledith Arthur was arrested and charged with raping Acton in July 1978, when she was 12, after her biological father filed a formal complaint. The alleged abuse took place between December 1976 and April 1978. Cledith Arthur failed to appear in court and became a fugitive. Donna Arthur remained married to him until his death in 2004.
这场争端导致知名共和党人分裂，特朗普和一些保守派媒体人物支持，而德怀恩和其他几位党领袖呼吁撤回。
The dispute has left prominent Republicans divided, with Trump and some conservative media figures backing the while DeWine and several other party leaders have called for it to be withdrawn.
