You are right. I should have said alleged lie. I still think we are entitled to an explanation.
defending the indefensible
I’m not defending a damn thing. I’m taking objective facts and repeating them.
Bullshit.Hell, there are links all over the place amplifying Acton’s sad memories about sexual abuse. Mom never mentioned any of that.
Mom said she's been lying her whole life. She hasn't seen her since she was 12. What do you imagine she's referring to, CoH? That time Amy lied about eating a candy bar before dinner?
"Amplifying Acton's sad memories about sexual abuse?" What the fuck?

She's been open about her past. During COVID when she was more in the national spotlight she was asked about it in interviews. She's not out on the campaign trail talking about it regularly. Until Ramaswamy put out this ad trying to exploit her lack of a relationship with her estranged mother, no one was really talking about it.
1. She wasn't a teen.
She was 12. That’s the age where judges can use what they say about custody issues in Colorado.
There is no proof that happened here re false allegations, but you brought it up in this context, and then say the ad is "not about Acton's childhood sexual abuse."
Sure I brought it up. False allegations happen. They are devastating. I offer no opinion whether Acton is telling all or part of the truth. That is why I presented this point as an incidental matter.
Run against her on the issues. On her unfitness based on conduct.
Exactly. Mom said her daughter lied about Vivek. That should be the focus of this thread. Making it about Acton’s childhood is a misdirection, one that Acton obviously orchestrated.
Bullshit.

Acton's mom would probably want to paint her daughter as a liar so she doesn't have to face the horrible real truth. The truth paints her as a despicable person who not only didn't protect her young kids from a sexual predator, she took his side and stayed with him even after her kids were taken away from her.

You weren't able to find any details about any lies she may have told about Vivek Ramaswamy. So far, Ramaswamy hasn't really offered any up either.
How did Acton orchestrate this? She didn't put that ad out. This is an own goal on Ramaswamy's behalf.
Mom said she worked in a sexual abuse clinic. I assume, but do not know, that occupation requires a background check.

She said more than that and you are intentionally ignoring it.
The focus is squarely where it needs to be. You're the one playing misdirection, and you're doing it very poorly.

Agree. Ramaswamy should explain this point if he hopes to have any credibility, he hasn’t.
If he would have asked me about that ad, I would have told him not to run it without explaining Acton’s lies.
Here are the vicious lies Acton told about Ramaswamy that CoH believes justifies running an ad of an estranged mom, who chose her child's rapist over her, accusing her daughter of lying about being raped at the ages of 11-12, even though the brother backs it up:
