Columbus, OH –  This weekend, the New York Times detailed Bernie Moreno’s phony “riches-to-rags-to-riches” story that he’s made the “signature pitch” of his campaign. But that’s only the latest in “a string of inconsistencies” showing Ohioans that Moreno is only out for himself.

Here’s A Reminder of All Of The Lies Bernie Moreno Is Telling On the Campaign Trail:

1. Moreno’s phony “riches-to-rags-to-riches,” “only-in-America bootstraps story” which he has made the “signature pitch” of his campaign is a lie he’s telling as part of a “calculated process of self-creation” on the campaign trail. Moreno repeatedly tells voters his family came to the United States with “absolutely nothing,” but reporting found Moreno is intentionally omitting details of his “rich and politically connected family” and his parent’s “quick” success in America during his pitch to voters.

2. Moreno repeatedly lies and says he never sold the Chinese-made Buick Envision – an SUV that was always made in China – but the truth is, Moreno sold the car for years and “promoted the vehicles” in numerous ads, including in a customer testimonial.

3. Moreno lies about shutting down Cleveland State’s Confucius Institute while serving on the university’s board – but in fact, the Confucius Institute operated for years after Moreno’s tenure and Moreno approved multiple budgets that funded the Institute.

4. Moreno claims that he came to the United States from Colombia to “escape” socialism but reporting found that Moreno is lying and his statements “do not withstand historical scrutiny.

5. Moreno is lying about his business origin story, claiming he built his car dealership business “all on his own” and without “handouts” – but in reality, Moreno received an insider deal to purchase his first dealership at a “dramatically reduced price.”
