Saturday's rally was hosted by Buckeye Values PAC, a group backing Moreno’s candidacy.

“I am so sick and tired of Republicans that say, ‘I support President Trump’s policies but I don’t like the man,’" he said as he joined Trump on stage.

They requested anonymity to avoid running afoul of Trump and his allies.
“I made a promise that I will always keep Social Security, Medicare. We always will keep it. We never will cut it,” he said.
