Another week, another round of infighting for Nevada’s Republican Senate candidates who are making this the messiest and ugliest Senate primary in the country. This is Nevada MAGA Mayhem, your weekly update on the latest news from the Nevada Senate Republican Primary.
KEY TAKEAWAYS: Sam Brown is feeling the pressure – attacking Jeff Gunter directly for the first time, refusing to support commonsense plans to protect Nevada’s more than 11,000 Dreamers, and continuing his far-right wing media tour in an effort to get Donald Trump’s blessing in the messy MAGA primary.
NYT REVEALS BROWN’S FIGHTING WORDS ABOUT GUNTER
Reporting from the New York Times revealed that MAGA extremist Sam Brown, who previously said he wouldn’t participate in “anything that tears down other Republicans,” was caught attacking former Trump Ambassador Jeff Gunter at a private fundraiser.
As Brown desperately attempts to win over the MAGA base, he is lashing out at his primary opponents and working overtime to tie himself to Donald Trump. Brown, who just months ago refused to endorse Trump, has since gone all-in, embarking on a right-wing media tour praising Trump’s leadership, saying Trump is the reason he’s running for Senate, and even flying to Mar-a-Lago to beg for Trump’s endorsement directly.
We’re watching closely as this messy MAGA primary gets messier and pricier by the day!
BROWN REFUSES TO SUPPORT PROTECTIONS FOR NEVADA’S MORE THAN 11,000 DREAMERS
Over the weekend, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Sam Brown refused to support widely popular plans to protect the more than 11,000 Nevadans who benefit from Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Brown’s callous refusal to support DACA would put thousands of young people who have only ever known America as their home at risk of deportation and negatively impact Nevada’s economy.
Earlier this year, Brown publicly opposed the Bipartisan Border Security Deal before the text was even released and doubled down on his opposition despite support for the agreement from Border Patrol agents working to secure the border.
Sam Brown refusing to stand up against the threat of deportation for the thousands of DACA recipients who call Nevada home is not surprising. He continues to prove that he’s more interested in playing politics than fixing our broken immigration system.
BROWN PANDERING TO MAGA VOTERS AS RIGHT-WING MEDIA TOUR CONTINUES
Brown went on OAN again this week to praise Donald Trump – another stop in his right-wing media tour. The desperate attempts to pander to the far-right wing of Brown’s party are getting more transparent by the day!
Get the lowlights here:
- “The people need President Trump back.”
- “Eight years ago, I was, you know, a father and a husband who voted for President Trump. Four years ago, I was so excited about his leadership and the policies that was making America great again.”
- “And so four years ago, I took my activism out and knocked doors, I volunteered for President Trump.”
- “We have got to return back to those same policies that President Trump was leading with.”
Yikes!
