The Cleveland Plain Dealer and cleveland.com have endorsed Amy Acton for Ohio governor following an attack ad targeting her childhood sexual abuse. Brian Tyler Cohen puts that editorial at the center of his report, which drew roughly 934,000 views since yesterday.

The endorsement adds a development to the controversy discussed in Cohen's earlier conversation with Glenn Kirschner, as we reported here. This time, Cohen assembles newspaper criticism, Republican objections and Ramaswamy's own defense of his campaign.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine calls for the ad to be taken down. Representative Nancy Mace raises both a moral objection and an electoral concern: why run this commercial when Republicans are already struggling to attract women voters? Both are Republicans, making these objections distinct from Cohen's criticism of the Republican nominee.

The video also gives Ramaswamy space to respond through a Fox News appearance. He presents his campaign as defending itself against attacks: "You never start a fight, but if you find yourself in one, you finish it." He adds, "We're standing for truth."

Cohen argues that the campaign tactics will cost Ramaswamy the election. That is his prediction, not an election result. His closing case draws on footage of Barack Obama campaigning in Ohio, where the former president argues that voters should expect decency from public officials and makes character part of the choice on the ballot.
