Let's talk #Nevada Elections
& #AdamLaxalt
1st HIS FAMILY.
The 3 TIMES he's run they told Nevadan's not to vote for him AND this time they EVEN endorsed his opponent @SenCortezMasto
So why would you vote for a man whose own family won't?

This is #AdamLaxalt standing in front of a refrigerator truck of dead immigrants that he flew from DC to Texas to see.
Immigrants just coming here for a better life.

Please notice the expression on #Laxalt's face.

Now you might think that these are out of context except #AdamLaxalt was one of the State Attorney Generals that sued to stop the #DACA program expansion.

"Nevada Republican Senate hopeful Adam Laxalt has spent $13,000 running radio ads in Elko and Las Vegas touting his opposition to protections for immigrants who were brought to the country as children, commonly known as "Dreamers."

#Laxalt is also an election denier. An election denier means you don't believe in democracy YET our elections were free & fair in 2020 & that's from the Republican appointed Cyber expert in charge of them @C_C_Krebs
But still #Laxalt lies 🟥👇

He's an election denier because he's Trump's buddy and CAMPAIGN MANAGER not because he believes that the elections weren't fair.
LET THAT SINK IN. HE KNOWS HE'S LYING & THAT IT HARMS OUR DEMOCRACY BUT HE DOESN'T CARE AND WANTS TO BE A SENATOR?

#Nevada So his own family doesn't want you to vote for him, he would like to deport dreamers, he's an election denier, he's Trump's buddy does it get worse than this? Why yes it does.

#Nevada Did you also know he doesn't live here except when he runs for office?
Wasn't raised in #Nevada either.
He's such a craven politician he's using our state and his family name to get into office.
Not because he cares about our state.

"Perhaps if he had, he would stand for Nevada’s values rather than for those of his out-of-state donors"
Says his family!
This is from 2018, but we already know they don't support him now either and will be voting for his opponent @SenCortezMasto

From another 2018 article
"12 members of Adam Laxalt’s family penned an op-ed strongly attacking their relative’s campaign for governor. The family, lifetime Nevadans, say the current state attorney general’s campaign is misleading and inauthentic."
Said the same this year.
So let's get back to some of his policies we know he's anti-immigrant, anti-DACA, election denier, he's also for a Federal ban on abortion..
And arresting woman who get them.

Note there's a big Republican ad campaign LYING to Nevadans telling them that are right to abortion is protected.
Now it is protected with Dobbs being overturned BUT it is not protected from a Federal ban.
From AG Ford 🟥👇

🟥 This is #Republican a lie.
From our ATTORNEY GENERAL when it happened.
"For example, a federal ban on abortion could supersede our law."
Because a federal law often trumps State law. That's why they overturned Dobbs - so States could ban abortion.
ag.nv.gov/News/PR/2022/A…
So electing #Laxalt to Congress means there's 1 more vote for a Federal ban on abortion and again he is for jailing women who get them & even if our rights here hold they would help other states jail women who came here.
Is that the #Nevada you want?
Those aren't our values 😥
#AdamLaxalt also used his power as Attorney General to block investigation into Big oil ...
And the Koch Brothers
...who are his donors.
newsweek.com/adam-laxalt-do…
In fact #AdamLaxalt has had a long history of corruption and financial allegations and charges.
newsweek.com/adam-laxalt-do…
Including from Lev Parnas.
🟥👇 So...
Why would anyone vote for #AdamLaxalt
✅ Anti-DACA
✅ Election denier
✅ Trump buddy/campaign mgr
✅ For Federal Abortion Ban
✅ Funded by the Koch Brothers
✅ Blocked investigations into donors
✅ Own family endorsed his opponent
✅ Doesn't even live here
