Jack and Charlie’s dad, Alana’s husband. 5th generation Cincinnatian. Running for Lieutenant Governor with @amyactonoh to fight for Ohioans and lower costs.
Vivek Ramaswamy just now on the ad with Acton’s estranged mother:
“We ran an ad about lying. Amy Acton is lying. … It had nothing to do with childhood abuse, which I will be the number one governor to prosecute when I am the governor of this state because it is wrong.”
Heartbreaking news.
Todd was a hero for millions of Reds fans.
I later came to know him as a wonderful man, father and coach.
The first baseball practice my son Jack ever attended, we arrived early. Todd approached us and showed Jack how to field ground balls. Starstruck, I had to explain just how special that was.
Please keep his family in our prayers.
The Cincinnati Reds are saddened by the passing of former first baseman and 1990 World Series champion Todd Benzinger.
Todd will be remembered with great affection and gratitude for his place in one of the most memorable chapters in Reds history. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, former teammates and all who knew and loved him.
I was asked today on MSNOW about the recent ad in the Ohio governor’s race. It’s completely inappropriate and has no place in American politics. It should be taken off the air, and those responsible should apologize.
Here’s what I had to say.
Republican Governor Mike DeWine just called on Vivek Ramaswamy to pull his repulsive attack ad.
Ramaswamy’s gutter politics are beyond shameful. He will lose in 12 days and it will be because Ohioans know he is a pathetic man who is not fit to lead.
Unearthed footage of Vivek Ramaswamy mocking Amy Acton for being a survivor of childhood abuse:
"She has no vision other than to complain about what someone else did to her"
Well here we have it, as reported by @MorganTrau, Ramaswamy's campaign acknowledges the Amy Acton mom ad is his.
"At first, the Ramaswamy team did not take explicit responsibility for the ad... After this story aired, Ramaswamy confirmed it was his ad."
Vivek Ramaswamy lashes out while trying to pretend he didn’t feature a pedophile in his most recent ad.
He then lied and said he pulled the ad off the air, but that same pedophile was STILL featured in his ads all weekend. Even during the Browns game.
Disgusting. This is NOT the leadership Ohio families need.
It’s so funny that our opponent doesn’t allow cameras at her events, but the Dems send trackers to videotape ours. They even came to a door-knocking kickoff this morning. We’ll treat them respectfully & that’s how I’ll lead this state.
Another day, another scandal for billionaire scam artist Vivek Ramaswamy: he’s now facing questions about a potentially illegal coordination with the Super PAC he has ties to with the very classy name “V-PAC: Victors, not Victims.”
This cheating, illegal coordination and corruption needs to end. Ohioans deserve a governor who follows the law and puts our state first.

Vivek Ramaswamy just released a new ad featuring a registered sex offender and then wiped the evidence from his social media accounts. You can't make this up.
Shaming Amy for being a survivor. Featuring a woman who blamed Amy for her mother's death - all while she lived in Kentucky, not Ohio. Tens of millions of dollars spent on blatant lies.
There has never been a more desperate and pathetic campaign than Ramaswamy's.

Once again, Vivek Ramaswamy’s closing message is all about him.
Amy Acton and I are running to help you.
For us, public service to Ohio is the honor of a lifetime.
To all the hardworking Ohioans struggling to make ends meet: you don’t need to celebrate that Vivek Ramaswamy has 2 billion dollars like he’s asking you to. What a ridiculous and out of touch thing to say.
Wonder if this tweet was sent from 30,000 feet.
