Columbus, OH – It’s been one week since Bernie Moreno said on national television that “there’s some things we can do federally” to ban abortion. This is one out of the four times in the past two weeks Moreno has reiterated his support for a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohio voters.

Moreno has made it clear he would “[leave] the door open” to a national abortion ban if elected, confirmed “he still believes in national legislation” to ban abortion, and affirmed his stance on abortion is “crystal, crystal clear” and “has not changed.” Moreno has previously said he is “100% pro-life with no exceptions” and “absolute pro-life, no exceptions.”

Here’s A Reminder Of Moreno’s “Crystal, Crystal Clear” And “Well-Documented” Support For A National Abortion Ban:

• Bernie Moreno: “My position is crystal clear, has not changed on abortion.”

• New York Post: “When asked if he would vote for a national abortion ban… Moreno left the door open to supporting further federal restrictions.”

• Andrew Tobias, Cleveland.com: “Moreno also fielded questions on abortion… Moreno said he still believes in national legislation.”

• [Bernie Moreno] refused to pay his employees the overtime wages they’d earned, and even shredded evidence to try to get away with it.

• Here’s the truth: Moreno is a shady used car salesman who always puts himself first and has screwed over workers time and again.

• As a young person who is tired of dishonest politicians who don’t care about my future, I find it disgraceful that Moreno thinks he can lie to Ohioans to trick us into voting for him. 

• 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.

Columbus, OH – It’s been another bad week for Bernie Moreno as he was caught doubling (dare we say tripling) down in support of a national abortion ban three separate times in the past week. Plus, Moreno still owes Ohioans answers on the lies he’s telling on the campaign trail and his attempts to “turn himself into someone he is not.”

NEED-TO-KNOW THIS WEEK:

• Three separate times in the past week, Bernie Moreno has doubled down in support of a national abortion ban that would overturn the will of Ohio voters.

• After reporting revealed last week that Moreno lied about “learn[ing] English from watching Ronald Reagan’s speeches” and that “the timeline doesn’t make sense,” Moreno must answer questions about the “string of inconsistencies” “dogg[ing]” his campaign.

🚫 THREE STRIKES, YOU’RE OUT: Bernie Moreno reiterated his support for a national abortion ban not once, not twice, but three separate times in one week. Moreno said “there’s some things we can do federally” to ban abortion and that his stance on abortion is “crystal, crystal clear” and “has not changed.” Moreno has previously said he is “100% pro-life with no exceptions” and “absolute pro-life, no exceptions.” 

WATCH HERE: MORENO SAYS HIS ABORTION POSITION IS “CRYSTAL, CRYSTAL CLEAR, HAS NOT CHANGED.”

🚫 LIES, LIES, LIES: After reporting revealed last week that Moreno’s lie about “learn[ing] English from watching Ronald Reagan’s speeches” is yet another “dubious claim” Moreno has told and the latest “string of inconsistencies” “dogg[ing]” his campaign, Moreno must answer questions about why he continues to lie to Ohioans in attempts “turn himself into someone he is not.” Moreno must answer:

1. Why are you claiming on the campaign trail that you had a “lower-middle-class status” and lived a “bootstraps story,” when your family was actually “rich and politically connected,” lived in a luxury oceanfront condo, and “never completely left behind” your wealth and status?

2. Why did you claim you “didn’t take handouts” when reporting shows you got your dealership at a steep discount? Will you make documents around your 2005 insider deal available?

3. Why are you lying to Ohio workers by claiming you never sold Chinese-made SUVs? Will you apologize to Ohio workers who have criticized you for contributing to their jobs being “shipped overseas” and “hurt[ing] Mahoning Valley workers and families?”

4. Why are you lying about shutting down Cleveland State’s Confucius Institute?

5. Why are you lying about escaping socialism?

6. Why are you lying about bringing 5G access to Cleveland?

7. Why are you lying about learning English from Ronald Reagan’s speeches?
