Around 100 Republicans gathered in the middle of the store, and several down-ballot Republicans spoke before him, including the lieutenant governor nominee.<\/p>\n<p>At the second event, Ramaswamy directly called out Acton for leaving her post as public health director during the COVID-19 pandemic, but he didn&#8217;t mention the ad.<\/p>\n<p>Ramaswamy has faced <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/vivek-ramaswamy-ad-amy-acton-mother-republicans-ohio\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">bipartisan backlash<\/a><\/span>, including from Republican Ohio Gov.
