The billionaire tennis fan, banished by Trump to run for governor in Ohio, was already a loser. But when independent journalist D.J. Byrnes uncovered a heinous campaign ad, he found it part of a "pathological" pattern. The Rooster returns to make sense of an embellished athletic legend, Wikipedia edits, private jets, libertarian rap... and that picture of Shrek.UPDATE: On October 28, the day after we recorded this episode, a Wikipedia editor with the handle “NapoliRoma” removed the phrase “according to himself” before the claim, “in high school, Ramaswamy was a nationally ranked junior tennis player." This, according to Wikipedia’s open source editing history.UPDATE: According to multiple sources, the Amy Acton ad featuring her mother, Donna Arthur, is no longer airing. When asked on Oct 29 if his campaign had pulled the ad, Ramaswamy responded: “It ran to completion and we put up four other ads.”Thank you!!Further reading:• "Vivek Ramaswamy hits disgusting new low with 'October Surprise' on Dr. Acton" (The Rooster)Previously on PTFO:• The Christian Nationalist Surge at Ohio State, with D.J.
