Ohio Senate hopeful Bernie Moreno took his fight to the next level, accusing Sen. Sherrod Brown of being part of a “political cover-up” surrounding President Joe Biden’s mental decline. Moreno made this bombshell allegation during an impromptu press conference right in front of Brown’s Senate office because where better to call someone out than on their own turf?
Armed with White House logs, Moreno noted that Brown paid the Biden administration seven cozy visits between February 2021 and December 2022. By his count, these visits were plenty of time for a lightbulb to flicker on in Brown’s head about Biden’s cognitive state. If George Clooney could catch on in a couple of hours, surely Sherrod wouldn’t need years.

Brown, a Democrat holding onto his Senate seat with white-knuckled desperation in a predominantly red state, is navigating stormy waters this election cycle. Republicans smell blood and are targeting Democrats who’ve shrugged off concerns about Biden’s mental fitness. In this political chess game, Moreno isn’t just settling for the check; he’s aiming for a mate.
“This guy is a coward. Now he’s running from his lies because the jig is up. People see what’s going on, and it’s a disgrace,” Moreno charged, reminding folks that Brown is not just any lawmaker—he’s a superdelegate. In a delicious twist of irony, Brown avoids taking a clear stance on Biden, probably because he knows the House of Cards is collapsing.
Asked about those White House logs showing his visits, Moreno rolled his eyes at the calendar dates. It’s not about when Brown visited; it’s that he had front-row seats to Biden’s ongoing decline and chose to look away. Watching a loved one deteriorate is hard, sure, but ignoring a president’s issues while pretending everything’s peachy? That’s a whole different ballpark.
Meanwhile, Brown has been as vague as cotton candy when reporters pressed him on whether Biden should lead the ticket. He admitted that his constituents have “legitimate concerns” but stopped elaborating. It seems like the strategy here is to keep muddling through and hope voters overlook the elephant—or, in this case, the elderly donkey—in the room.
Moreno didn’t mince words: Brown needs to own up to the conspiracy and spill the beans about whether he backs Biden publicly. Can you imagine holding this nation’s future from behind a curtain of secrecy and evasiveness? It’s almost like a bad reality show but with much higher stakes. Moreno’s daring press conference underscores how fiery and divisive this Senate race is bound to get. And if his pointed jabs at Brown are any indication, the gloves will not come off anytime soon.
