Bernie Moreno caught in a lie about selling Chinese-made cars

BOARDMAN, Ohio – Bernie Moreno has made repeated false statements about refusing to sell foreign-made cars at the Beechwood, Ohio GM dealership he owned until 2020, according to a new report from Spectrum News.

The report documents how Moreno began telling a story in 2021 about how he never sold the Buick Envision because the car was made with parts manufactured in China. But Spectrum caught Moreno in a lie by uncovering digital advertisements dating back to 2017 in which Moreno’s dealership advertised the Envision. The ads even include customer testimonials about how much they love their Buick Envision and how if you yourself would like to drive an Envision then “I highly suggest that you visit the team at Buick and GMC of Beachwood, a Bernie Moreno Company.”

Moreno now admits that he did in fact sell the Buick Envision from 2016 to 2019.

“Bernie Moreno sold Chinese-made Buick Envisions and lied about it – he is only looking out for himself, not American workers. Moreno’s decision to sell Chinese-made cars, and lie about it, contributed to Ohio jobs being shipped overseas and the Lordstown plant closing," said Chris Anderson, chairman of the Mahoning County Democratic Party. "While Bernie Moreno puts himself first, Ohio workers know that Sherrod Brown is fighting for them – and it’s why Sherrod will win in November.”
