Columbus, OH - Ohioans know there's nothing scarier than that fact Bernie Moreno only looks out for himself. From "stiffing workers" and "destroy[ing] evidence" to get out of paying his employees the wages they earned, to his comments mocking Ohio women for caring about the ability to make their own health care decisions, and supporting a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohioans who voted to protect abortion rights last year, Moreno has made it scary clear he won't fight for Ohio.
Scary Things To Know About Bernie Moreno This Halloween:
⬛BLACK CATS AND FAT CATS: Moreno's campaign has been "clouded" by a "slew of lawsuits for workers' wages and workplace discrimination," including over a dozen lawsuits where Moreno refused to pay his workers the overtime they earned, and deliberately destroyedevidence he was legally required to keep to get out of it.
SPOOKY SUPPORT FOR BANNING ABORTION: Moreno called Ohioans "a little crazy" for caring about a woman's right to make her own health care decisions, said he is "100 percent pro-life with no exceptions," and would vote for a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohioans.
ALL TRICKS NO TREAT: Moreno has been caught in lie after lie on the campaign trail and has faced scrutiny for the "string of inconsistencies that have dogged his campaign." Moreno was caught repeatedly 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, and lying about "s[elling] off all of his businesses" while spending nearly $50 million to open a new car dealership.
GHOSTING WORKING FOR OHIO: Moreno opposed the bipartisan bill to secure the border, opposed Sherrod's bill to crack down on dangerous fentanyl, and said he won't work across the aisle to fight for Ohio.
️BEHIND THE COSTUME: Moreno isn't the self-made outsider he claims to be. Despite claiming he "built his car dealer empire all on his own," Moreno actually received "much-needed handout[s]," "special favors," and "financial assistance" and "leveraged his family connections" and the "Moreno Family cash reserves" to enrich himself. Moreno has exploited his insider political connections to boost his businesses and is "heavily invested" in and profited off of a family enrichment scheme with his brothers by funneling U.S. taxpayer money into banks that financed projects his family oversaw.
