Sources show multiple governors from both parties criticized Ramaswamy's ad featuring Acton's estranged mother, and Acton is quoted as citing 'five governors' in support, though the quote is truncated and the count rests largely on her own statement.

We could not find who says this in the episode. Shown here; not scored.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Supports. Acton is quoted saying 'I have five gove[rnors]' in support of her position, and the passage is cut off before the names are given, so the count is not independently verified.[2]

Supports. Toledo Blade coverage names Gov. Mike DeWine and former Gov. John Kasich among those weighing in on the ad controversy, consistent with criticism from governors of both parties.[3]

Supports. Coverage reports bipartisan backlash, including Republicans who said they would not have released the ad and questioned whether it crossed a line.[1][4][5]

Context. The sources do not give a full list of governors or their exact statements, so the specific figure of five is only partly corroborated.[2][3]
