Trump Blasts Reporter For Questioning Him About Amy Acton Ad

Now that you know the back story about Amy Acton and her stepfather, and why she hasn't talked to her mom for so long, her stepfather was indicted for rape, now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? No, no. It's a mother speaking badly against Amy Acton, and to me, it's very easy. But they haven't talked to her. They haven't talked to her. I don't care. So if it were my mother speaking badly about me, you'd be making it the number one story in the news. Maybe you wouldn't. But her mother stood by her after her husband kind of raped her. You don't know that. You don't know that. You don't know anything. Her mother stood by, didn't stand by. Her mother went on television and said that the daughter who's running for governor of Ohio is a liar and a bad person. And that's all I know. Nobody knows. Nobody knows anything. Can I be honest? The press is embarrassing themselves. You're trying to take a horrible situation for a Democrat and make it look better. The mother said really bad things about a person that wants to be the Democrat governor of Ohio. The mother said terrible things. Anybody seeing that would say, no way I'm voting for her. There's nothing to it. It's very simple. The press is trying so hard to nullify it. You know, they called me up about it. I said, wait a minute. The mother said these things. The mother looks like she's totally lucid. She looks very smart, actually. And she felt she had an obligation to Ohio voters to tell them that her daughter is a liar. Do you want to be a president? Are there problems, Swami, ads for Republicans, like who you were with last night in Iowa, are denouncing the ads? Well, they can't, but they don't know the facts. Look, this is a mother that went on the air to say that her daughter, who's running for governor of the great state of Ohio that I won in a record all three times — I got the record vote, the highest vote ever, so I know it well, I love the people — a mother is saying, don't put my daughter there because she's a terrible person and she's a liar. Why shouldn't somebody use that? Let me ask you, if my mother said, Steve, wait, wait, wait, wait, slow down. Who are you with? Who are you with? I'm with NBC, sir. What are the worst networks you have? But there are very serious sexual abuse allegations. Quiet. Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you? If my mother said bad things about me, do you think the Democrats would put it up? I think so. But my mother thought I was wonderful. Thank you, Mom. My mother would never, even if she thought them, she would never say this is a person, a mother, a smart woman. I was smart. She said her daughter is a disaster. Her daughter is a liar. And she felt that she had an obligation. And she also said her daughter lied about her opponent, which is Vivek Ramaswamy. If I had that ad, I should be so lucky to have an ad like that. Why wouldn't you listen to a mother that says that? Why? Why would you, Ms. NBC? Why wouldn't you listen? Wait a minute, quiet. You have, I don't know anything about a stepfather. All you have, well, this one just keeps talking. You just keep talking. You have, I don't know anything about stepfathers. From many, many years ago. I know that recently a mother got on television and said that her daughter should not be governor of Ohio. And she said, I love my daughter, but my daughter lies all the time and lied about her opponent and I can't watch it. And the mother got up. This has nothing to do with a stepfather or anything else. This has to do with the fact that a woman got out, the mother of a person running for governor of one of the greatest states where I set records and said that she's a liar. Her daughter is a liar. She said her daughter lied about Vivek and the mother couldn't take it anymore. She basically said her daughter should not. That's what she said. Her daughter should not be the governor of Ohio. To me, that's something that's very much fair game.
