Statement summary
Meijer calls the ad morally wrong and politically unwise, saying he sees no defense of it.
“No, I think it's a gross ad on a moral level and wrong. On a political level, I don't know how you can argue that this was smart. And to have the closing message of your opponent, you know, framed in such a way I just, I don't see a defense of it.”
Ramaswamy's campaign defends an ad in which Amy Acton's estranged mother calls her a liar. Acton says Ramaswamy took advantage of her mother. Critics from both parties condemn the tactic, while Laura Loomer defends it.
