Mike DeWine \u2014 the lone Democrat in his cabinet.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a9d\"\/>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a9d\"\/>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"\/>\n<p>Per the police report, at 9:45 p.m. in August of 2019, Acton pulled a mirror off the wall, \u201cshattering the glass\u201d when she \u201cbecame upset\u201d because she felt her husband \u201cwas antagonizing her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Far-left NBC News adds that she \u201ctold officers she had been drinking, had taken an unknown amount of prescription drugs, and was about to drive away in her car before her husband, who also told police he had been drinking, talked her out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"a9d-pre\">A medic was also dispatched to their home. Per the police report, the medic told Acton she should go to the hospital. Acton refused.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a9d\"\/>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a9d\"\/>\n<p>The Acton campaign is spinning the incident this way:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Her campaign on Friday disputed and sought to clarify several elements of the police report. Acton and her husband had returned home from dinner, where she had one drink, according to the campaign\u2019s written response for this article. During a \u201cverbal disagreement regarding her long work hours,\u201d Acton \u201cbumped into a wall hanging which fell,\u201d the campaign said. She then went to bed and was asleep when police arrived, according to the campaign.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>They added that she was not \u201cintoxicated\u201d that night.<\/p>\n<p>Come on, the police got involved. We don\u2019t know who called the police, but police involvement makes this sound like a little more than some yelling and a bump up against the wall. And the medic\u2019s involvement? And the medic suggested she go to the hospital?<\/p>\n<p>DeWine\u2019s office says he knew nothing about this until now. \u201cThe Governor holds his staff to the highest standards of conduct,\u201d the governor\u2019s spokesman said in a statement to NBC. \u201cGiven that the allegations in the report are deeply troubling, Governor DeWine would have expected Dr. Acton to have, primary at that time, promptly disclosed this to him, and he is very disappointed that it did not occur.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"a9d-pre\">So, what\u2019s going on here? Why would the corrupt corporate media report on this when it supposedly hurts a Democrat?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a9d adSo\"\/>\n<p>Easy answer\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Acton will almost certainly win the primary, and NBC wants to control the exposure of this scandal now instead of it coming out in the general election.<\/p>\n<p>Vivek Ramaswamy is the frontrunner to face Acton in the general, so better that NBC release this scandal now than wait for the Ramaswamy camp to do it weeks out from Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>All things being the same, if Acton were the Republican candidate, NBC never would have run this in the primary. Being the left-wing super PAC that it is, NBC would\u2019ve waited until October.<\/p>\n<p>Remember this: Everything the corporate media do is to protect the Democrat Party. That\u2019s why NBC is cleaning Acton\u2019s closet out now.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s also why the media just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/the-media\/2026\/04\/11\/nolte-medias-only-motive-in-taking-out-eric-swalwell-is-to-benefit-democrats\/\">took down<\/a> Rep.
