Ohio Republican Candidate For U.S. Senate

An immigrant who is an opponent of affirmative action

Trump backed him.

Bernie Moreno won the Republican Primary for a U.S. Senate seat to represent Ohio. He was supported and touted by Trump. He will face the Democratic incumbent, Senator Sherrod Brown, who has been a U.S. Senator since January 2007.

Moreno is an immigrant from Columbia. He has had successful automobile dealerships, which he claims are a shining example of achieving the American Dream.

A story by Bryan Metzger for Business Insider was titled: “Ohio GOP Senate nominee Bernie Moreno benefited from the kind of diversity initiative that Republicans hate.”

Bernie Moreno, the GOP nominee for Senate in Ohio, is an opponent of affirmative action.

But he’s said he got his first dealership at a lower price in part because of his racial background.

It puts Moreno in an uncomfortable spot as the GOP crusades against corporate DEI initiatives.

Bernie Moreno, the GOP nominee for US Senate in Ohio, has long staked his political identity on the car dealership empire he once oversaw.

Moreno got extra help from diversity initiatives when he bought his first dealership in 2005. The Mercedes-Benz dealership was for sale, and they wanted the new owner to be a minority. Moreno was chosen.

It seems to be another example of the hypocrisy in politics. People claim they are against something from which they personally benefitted.

Moreno has had negative issues, which show an unfavorable side. He will face Brown in November.
