BAD NEWS BERNIE: Moreno Caught Again In A New Lie & Doubles Down On "Crystal Clear" Support Of National Abortion Ban

July 12, 2024

Columbus, OH - It's been another bad week for Bernie Moreno as new reporting caught Moreno doubling down on his "crystal clear" support for a national abortion ban and once again lying to Ohioans, this time falsely claiming he "learned English from watching Ronald Reagan's speeches" despite that "the timeline doesn't make sense."

NEED-TO-KNOW THIS WEEK:

  • On Collector Car Appreciation Day, a reminder that Bernie Moreno never reimbursed the North Olmsted Police Department for a joyride in his $3.4 million Aston Martin.

IT'S MORENO LYING AGAIN IN AMERICA: Bernie Moreno repeatedly claimed that he "learned English from watching Ronald Reagan's speeches" at five years old, but new reporting found that "the timeline doesn't make sense."

"CRYSTAL, CRYSTAL CLEAR" SUPPORT FOR A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN: While Ohioans continue to slam Moreno for his "disrespectful" support for a national abortion ban, Moreno says his position is "crystal, crystal clear" and doubled down in support of a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohioans who voted to protect abortion rights last year. Watch here to see Moreno say his support for a national abortion ban "has not changed" - confirming once again he is "100% pro-life with no exceptions" and that he is "absolute pro-life, no exceptions."

BERNIE COLLECTED A LUXURY CAR AND TAXPAYER FUNDS: Today is Collector Car Appreciation Day, and as a reminder, Bernie Moreno was caught using a taxpayer-funded police escort of "at least three police cars" to take his $3.4 million Aston Martin - worth "90 times Ohio's median per capita income of $37,729" - on a joyride on closed public roads and failed to reimburse the North Olmsted police department.

LIAR LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE: In a recent letter to the editor in the Columbus Dispatch, Columbus resident Jo Baldwin slammed Bernie Moreno for being "a liar looking out for himself" and "not someone we can count on to fight for [Ohioans]." This is the latest example of Ohioans speaking out against Moreno's "pattern of lying on the campaign trail" and record of "putting Ohioans last" that has "made it clear he is wrong for Ohioans."

  • Cleveland.com: "Moreno told reporters on Wednesday that he continues to support federal legislation that would ban abortion…"
  • WKYC: "Moreno said… he was continuing to advocate for a national legislation position on abortion."
  • Columbus Resident Jo Baldwin: "He thinks he's telling us what we want to hear, but really he's showing us who he truly is: a liar looking out for himself."

TWEET OF THE WEEK:

CODA: "Moreno is not someone we can count on to fight for us. He's only looking out for himself."
