Bernie Moreno is trying to present himself as the pro-Trump option in Ohio's Senate race. He didn’t quite delete all of h
on now-deleted tweets from 2015 and 2016 in which he compared Trump to “a car accident that makes you sick.”
In a statement to The Daily Beast, Moreno spokesman Conor McGuinness said that while Moreno “believes that while January 6th unfortunately devolved into a riot, it was not an Insurrection, as the media has ridiculously attempted to claim.” But few have shifted as dramatically on all things Trump as Moreno, who launched his first Senate campaign in April 2021 and quickly rebranded himself as the Trumpiest candidate in a crowded GOP primary in which Trump’s endorsement was seen as key to victory.
“Some people wish Trump’s words were more polished, but the difference between every other politician and Trump is that he gives us full and honest access to all his thoughts—which is preferable to the deception most politicians engage in publicly,” Moreno wrote in. “At the end of the day, I care more about actions, and Trump’s actions made us stronger, safer, and more prosperous.”
