BAD NEWS BERNIE: 100 Days Until Election Day, Moreno Continues To Show Ohioans He's Out For Himself

July 26, 2024

Columbus, OH - As 100 days until #OHSEN general election approaches, Bernie Moreno continues to make it clear that he only looks out for himself. This week, Moreno faced scrutiny for comparing "[federal laws regulating alcohol] and regulating abortion federally" and quadrupling down in support of a national abortion ban in the past two weeks. Plus, Moreno was called out yet again for being a "liar" and being "only out for himself."

NEED-TO-KNOW THIS WEEK:

  • In a recent letter to the editor, Sycamore Township Resident Isaac Goff-Mitchell slammed Bernie Moreno for being a "liar" and called out Moreno for his "​​disgraceful" attempts to "trick us into voting for him."

REGULATING ABORTION LIKE… ALCOHOL?: For the fourth time in two weeks, Moreno made it clear he would "[leave] the door open" to a national abortion ban. Moreno went on to "suggest the issue of [abortion] could be handled at the federal level like alcohol," which led to scrutiny over what he meant by making a "connection between [federal laws regulating alcohol] and regulating abortion federally." Moreno has said his position on abortion is "crystal, crystal clear" and "has not changed," and previously he has said is "100% pro-life with no exceptions" and "absolute pro-life, no exceptions."

LIAR ON FIRE: Bernie Moreno once again is being slammed for his record of "stiffing workers," "shredding evidence" and making "dubious claims" on the campaign trail. In the Cincinnati Enquirer, Sycamore Township Resident Isaac Goff-Mitchell made it clear Ohioans "can't trust [Moreno]… because he's only out for himself."

MILLIONAIRE MORENO OPPOSES EXISTENCE OF MINIMUM WAGE: On the 15th anniversary of the last minimum wage increase, Ohioans were reminded that Bernie Moreno "doesn't believe there should be a minimum wage." This is one example of Moreno's anti-worker record that has led Ohio workers to slam Moreno for "putting profits over people" and "betray[ing] workers."

️ WHAT OHIOANS ARE READING THIS WEEK:

  • New York Post: "When asked if he would vote for a national abortion ban… Moreno left the door open to supporting further federal restrictions."
  • Heartland Signal: "Before the RNC in Milwaukee, Moreno told reporters that his stance on abortion is "crystal clear" and "has not changed," suggesting that he was still "100 percent pro-life with zero exceptions."
  • WKYC: "[Moreno's national abortion ban] bans abortion for most people, almost all people."
  • Herald-Star: "[Moreno] was sued in 2017 by former employees for failing to pay for overtime worked and who ultimately lost the suit, paying the employees $416,160 in damages."

TWEET OF THE WEEK:

CODA: "Bernie Moreno has shown Ohioans he is a liar. We can't trust him to fight for us because he's only out for himself."
