Less Than 100 Days Out From Election Day, Here’s What You Need To Know About Bernie Moreno

Less Than 100 Days Out From Election Day, Here's What You Need To Know About Bernie Moreno

July 29, 2024

Columbus, OH - With less than 100 days until the #OHSEN general election, Bernie Moreno continues to show Ohioans that he's "a liar looking out for himself" - whether it's the "dubious claims" "dogg[ing]" him on the campaign trail, his record of "stiffing workers" and "shredding evidence" to get out of paying his employees, or his support for a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohioans who voted to protect abortion rights last year.

Less Than 100 Days Out From Election Day, Here's What You Need To Know About Bernie Moreno:

1. Moreno is facing scrutiny for the "dubious claims" and "string of inconsistencies that have dogged his campaign" as lie after lie is exposed. Moreno has shown Ohioans he can't be trusted and has been caught lying about selling the Chinese-made Buick Envision which contributed to "Ohio jobs being shipped overseas," lying about his phony "rags-to-riches" story as the "signature pitch" of his campaign, lying about shutting down Cleveland State's Confucius Institute, lying about "escap[ing]" socialism, lying about bringing 5G to Cleveland, and lying about his business origin story.

2. Moreno's campaign has been clouded by lawsuits that "could prove to be a liability," including over a dozen lawsuits where Moreno refused to pay his workers the overtime they earned, then deliberately destroyed evidence he was legally required to keep to get out of it. Morenowas found liable for wage theft by a jury - forcing Moreno to pay over $400,000 in damages to his employees and settle over a dozen similar wage theft cases. After he got caught, Moreno repeatedly lied about the case and multiplefact-checks found his excuses "false."

3. Moreno would vote for a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohioans. Moreno has said he is "100% pro-life without exceptions," called the overturning of Roe v. Wade a "monumental victory," and opposes protecting a woman's right to access contraception, including birth control pills. Moreno is endorsed by SBA Pro-Life America, an organization that pledged to only back candidates who support a national abortion ban.

4. Moreno opposed the bipartisan bill to secure the border and won't work across the aisle for Ohioans. Moreno opposed the bipartisan border security bill - which was backed by border patrol agents - and said he "would have opposed" the bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl Act.

5. Moreno won't work for Ohio. When asked how he would work across the aisle, Moreno said he "reject[ed]" the question. In response, Moreno was slammed for having "no real interest" in advocating for Ohioans and being "intent on adding to [the] problem" in Washington.
