(R-Powell), who was condemned by Gov. (R) after he made a on Holocaust Remembrance Day in which he said he wouldn’t let Acton “turn Ohio into Nazi Germany.”“Remember when I told you they would attack the representatives who dare to speak out with truthful comparisons of historical tragedies of not so long ago?” Ackison asked in her Facebook post Thursday. “Here’s your ‘Republican’ Governor attacking a respected Conservative and throwing him to the wolves.”Ackison said she believes DeWine “lashed out” at Sen. Brenner “for making comparisons of Gestapo style tactics and Nazi Germany while boasting that Dr. Acton is ‘saving lives.'”“DeWine conveniently omits the part about Acton defying her own health orders to ensure babies are still being sucked out of their mothers wombs and their limbs torn off, using the same tactics Josef Mengele used on pregnant Jews,” Ackison said in the post.The comments from Ackison came Acton made reference to Holocaust Remembrance Day and her own Jewish heritage.Acton described feeling “optimistic that we have the grit and resilience to weather a war, especially given the outstanding leadership we have.”Gov. Mike DeWine had followed Acton by noting his own father’s service in World War II in liberating concentration camps. DeWine recounted how his father witnessed the camps’ ovens first-hand and remembered the images for the rest of his life.To Ackison, however, the Nazi Germany comparison rests with the present Ohio leadership.
