Ohio Secretary of State and Republican Senate candidate Frank LaRose launched into a brutal tirade against Donald Trump Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday.
LaRose issued the statement after Trump Jr. and Ramaswamy plan to campaign with Ohio businessman and Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno.
He said:
Today, Don Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy, two strong supporters of the Second Amendment, repeatedly ridicule gun owners and echo the anti-Constitutional rhetoric used by Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Sherrod Brown. He campaigned with Democrats who have parroted the language of the Second Amendment. Sometimes even good people get it wrong, but Ohioans won’t be fooled by Bernie’s election-year conversion. They want a senator who respects the Second Amendment and isn’t just a liberal masquerading as a conservative.
Trump Jr. immediately responded, calling LaRose a “pro-amnesty, Ukraine-first RINO.”
He said:
Frank LaRose is a pro-amnesty, Ukraine First RINO. He has been lying to voters about being pro-Trump since day one, but he refused to endorse his father in both 2016 and 2020. He installed Zack Bucks as Ohio Secretary of State and is bankrolled by anti-Trump megadonor Reid Hoffman. He can’t be trusted!

The LaRose campaign responded to Trump Jr. with the following response:
Frank LaRose is the only veteran in this race, the only 2A official, the only lifelong Republican, and he won statewide reelection in 22 years, more than anyone else in his administration’s history. also won by a large number of votes (nearly 100,000 more votes than Sherrod in 2018) – WITH President Trump’s support. Please fix it, Don.

Moreno said LaRose’s funding from Democratic mega-donor and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman should “concern all Ohioans.”
Breitbart News reported at the time:
Hoffman was once Spent $4.5 million to work with multiple media companies and the Anti-Trump Lincoln Project to produce ads attacking former President Donald Trump.
Mr. Hoffman, who reportedly visited sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s island, helped fund former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley’s (R) presidential campaign.
In May 2023, Hoffman admitted to visiting Epstein’s private island, Little St. James. The island is even more infamously known as “Pedophile Island”.
Mr. Hoffman also supported E. Jean Carroll’s civil suit against Mr. Trump.
Mr. Hoffman is one of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors. He works with left-wing billionaire George Soros to run a secret organization known as the Good Information Foundation, and has been accused of election interference.
he said Breitbart News Saturday“That should concern every Ohioan.”
