Nevada MAGA Mayhem – Weekly Senate Update 3/1

Another week, another round of infighting for Nevada Senate Republicans 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: Brown, once again, refuses to stand up to his party as they block federal protections for IVF treatment, Gunter goes on the attack as the billionaire Koch network pumps more money into Brown’s flailing campaign, and a quick catch-up on everything you might have missed this week. 

BROWN REFUSED TO CALL OUT SENATE GOP ALLIES FOR BLOCKING FEDERAL IVF PROTECTIONS 🤫🤫

This week, Senate Republicans – led by Sam Brown’s top allyblocked a bill that would protect IVF treatments under federal law following the ruling in Alabama that largely halted fertility clinics in the state – and Sam Brown was nowhere to be found. 

MAGA extremist Sam Brown’s strong support for overturning Roe v. Wade opened the door for these attacks on women’s reproductive rights. On his campaign website today, Brown says that opposing abortion rights would be his litmus test for confirming judges if he was elected to the Senate.

It’s a dangerous and deeply unpopular record that Sam Brown will be forced to own every day until he loses his third straight campaign. 

Here are just a few of the headlines highlighting how Senate Republicans blocked the bill to protect access to IVF, and how if he is given a vote in the Senate, Sam Brown will be no better:

🚀GUNTER GOES ON OFFENSE AFTER BILLIONAIRE-BACKED KOCH NETWORK BOOSTS BROWN’S CAMPAIGN🚀

This week, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), an out-of-state super PAC representing the conservative billionaire Koch network, announced it is making a $600,000 ad buy in Nevada to prop up Mitch McConnell’s handpicked candidate Sam Brown in the increasingly messy Republican Senate primary. 

Brown welcomed AFP’s spending on his behalf and took contributions from the Koch Industries PAC. He also was endorsed by AFP as they call for drastic changes to Social Security like raising the retirement age and cutting benefits for Nevada seniors. 

After the news came out, Dr. Jeff Gunter went on the offense, calling out the “NeverTrump” donor class for backing “McConnell puppet Scam Brown.”

Despite all this, Sam Brown continues to fundraise on empty promises like “I wasn’t going to enlist the help of billionaire mega donors to support my campaign,” while he takes money from billionaires and outside special interests. Oops!
