More Unexplained Weirdness on Display at yet

We’ve lately reported on some unusual incidents that have taken place during marketing campaign stops for Amy Acton, the Ohio Democrat gubernatorial nominee.

One that comes to thoughts befell during the AFL-CIO Central Labor Council’s Labor Day Weekend Family Picnic Basket Celebration in Cincinnati on September 5, when Acton had a weird “Howard Dean moment” where she yelled at the unenthusiastic crowd to attempt to get them to perk up a little bit.

It did not go too effectively. In case you missed it, watch:

In response, the Ohio Republican Party quipped, “We are all beginning to understand why she won’t agree to any debates.” 

But the more one pays consideration to the previous Ohio Health Department Director’s actions and phrases, the more one sees that it isn’t just debates with her opponent, GOP nominee Vivek Ramaswamy, that she’s attempting to keep away from. 

It’s just about anybody else, including critics who would possibly need to ask her some powerful questions, too, as was seen during another Labor Day weekend event where her handlers obtained a little tough in attempting to keep her hidden from somebody who has been described as a Republican political activist:

Campaign personnel for Amy Acton, Ohio’s former health director and Democratic candidate for Ohio governor, obtained into a confrontation with a Republican political activist wielding a digital camera last Saturday at one of Acton’s marketing campaign occasions in Harrison, Ohio.

When the cameraman approached Acton, asking her why she continued to decline invites to debate her Republican challenger, Vivek Ramaswamy, her employees rapidly rushed in to block him off from Acton.

[…]

“Dr. Amy Acton, why do you refuse to debate your opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy?” the interviewer requested.

“No photos, no videos,” the employees repeated. “I said — no pictures, no interviews.”

At one level in the confrontation, Acton’s employees appeared to have bumped into the cameraman, jolting his digital camera out of body and prompting him to ask them to be “careful.”

The second was captured on video. Watch:

We’ve seen these actions before from handlers for Democrat elected officers and candidates, where they maintain issues in entrance of cameras and mics and bodily put themselves between the questioner and the candidate to keep them from having to work together. It’s just bizarre, because if you need to maintain greater workplace in this nation, you ought to be keen to subject questions and have pictures/videos taken by supporters and opponents alike. At the very least, you do not cover from them.

Between this incident, the Howard Dean second, and the purported “lunging” incident from a week in the past involving an attendee – one thing that is now being called into query – one has to surprise just what else we’re going to see occur with Ms. Acton in the approaching weeks.

One factor we now know we can’t see from Acton? A debate, for causes that, fairly frankly, just do not add up.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will decide the destiny of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must keep control of both chambers of Congress.
