Five Times Bernie Moreno Lied To Ohioans By Claiming He Sold Off All Of His Businesses While Investing $50 Million To Open New Car Dealership

September 18, 2024

Columbus, OH - After NBC News caught Bernie Moreno "preparing a return to the auto industry," Bernie Moreno is "under scrutiny" for lying to Ohioans "for more than a year that he sold off business interests." Despite claiming he "sold off all of his businesses to avoid conflicts of interest," Moreno is spending nearly $50 million - $9.5 million on land in Delaware County and $40 million in financing - to open a new Mercedes-Benz dealership.

Here Are Five Times Bernie Moreno Lied To Ohioans That He "Sold Off All Of His Businesses To Avoid Conflicts Of Interest" While Taking Steps to Open A New Car Dealership:

1. MORENO: "I sold my business interests, my kids are all grown and out of the house, so I spend all day making certain that the people of Ohio know who I am." [1:01:27, 6/25/24]

2. MORENO: "I've sold all of my businesses, I'm fully unemployed, and this is what I do all day, campaign." [01:54, 12/20/23]

3. MORENO: "Built 15 dealerships over 12 years. Sold all those… I'm fully unemployed." [01:07, 12/5/23]

4. MORENO: "Yeah, over the last few years, I sold the car dealerships." [22:28, 7/15/23]

5. MORENO: "… I have sold all my businesses. I didn't have to, I could have kept my businesses and continue to have a fallback if this didn't work." [20:19, 2/5/24]
