Charlie Dent: I Think Ramaswamy ‘May Have Blown Up His Whole Campaign’ with the Latest Amy Acton Ad

EXCERPT:

DENT: “Well, not well, because the way we would run our campaigns, I have a — I would have a general consultant. I had a very good pollster. And I had a campaign manager. And we would talk about messages. Had I suggested doing something like this, they would have tackled me. And by the way, these are guys who are used to running hard-hitting campaigns. They’re not afraid of it. But what Ramaswamy has done here essentially is he’s taken a grenade, pulled the pin and shoved it in his mouth. I mean that’s what they’ve done. I mean, this is really a catastrophic blow. He may have — he may have just blown up his whole campaign with this. But our campaign would have never gone down this road. I mean, the role of the campaign is to enhance the image of the candidate.”
