He was recently caught in a vicious lie that he spread through social media about the Mentor schools (“ Moreno’s viral lie: The truth behind the fake Mentor Schools ‘child porn’ claim ,” Oct. 29).

He sent a scathing letter to the Mentor school board president and shared that letter with all his favorite far-right social media websites (which were happy to spread the story). It went viral.
