U.S. Senate Candidate Busted For Lying About MBA Degree

Ohio Capital Journal: “The claim that car dealer and Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bernie Moreno held an MBA from the University of Michigan has appeared in both a car dealership application and in a short biography of Moreno when he joined the board of the Cleveland Foundation. However, a spokeswoman for the university on Monday said all Moreno has is a bachelor’s degree in business that was awarded in 1989.

Moreno’s campaign on Tuesday afternoon blamed the first instance on “a staffer who made a mistake.” It said it didn’t know how the claimed credential made its way into the Cleveland Foundation bio.

Moreno is in the middle of what is expected to be a close race against incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown for a pivotal U.S. Senate seat.

The first appearance of the claim Moreno held an MBA from Michigan came as part of a Nov. 25, 2011 application to open an Infiniti car dealership in Coral Gables, Florida. The document was entered into evidence as part of a Florida lawsuit and provided to the Capital Journal.”
