Nevada MAGA Mayhem – Weekly Senate Update 4/12

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: It’s a MAGA showdown as Sam Brown flies to Mar-A-Lago to kiss Donald Trump’s ring while Jeff Gunter’s on air touting his “110%” support for Trump, ALL of the MAGA extremist candidates want to abolish the Department of Education at the expense of Nevada schools and students, and the Arizona Supreme Court ruling delivers another painful reminder of the agenda being pushed by anti-abortion extremists like Brown.

ALL-OUT BRAWL🥊 FOR TRUMP’S AFFECTION AFTER BROWN’S MAR-A-LAGO VACATION TO BEG FOR TRUMP’S ENDORSEMENT 🌴

The messy MAGA primary has turned into an all-out brawl for Trump’s affection now – with both Brown and Gunter trying to prove their allegiance to Trump and his MAGA agenda.
There’s still no official endorsement yet, though we did find out that Brown flew to Mar-A-Lago last week to beg Trump for his support after Gunter launched a hefty ad campaign touting his “110%” support for Trump.

Brown also embarked on a right-wing media tour over the weekend, joining Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, and conservative talk radio to boast of his pro-Trump loyalty. 

Seems like Brown is working overtime to get the MAGA base’s attention while Gunter is dropping $$$ ahead of the June 11th primary – but who comes out on top? 🤷‍♂️

BROWN AND GOP SENATE FIELD WANT TO 🙅ELIMINATE 🙅THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION🍎

MAGA extremist Sam Brown and the GOP field in Nevada are backing radical efforts to abolish the Department of Education and put federal funding for Nevada students and teachers at risk, according to new reporting

Brown has repeatedly called for eliminating the Department of Education and even pledged to get rid of any federal agencies that have a state-level counterpart. 

This disastrous plan would put critical funding for Pell Grants, community colleges, special education, career and technical education, and other essential services for Nevada students on the chopping block. 

ANTI-ABORTION EXTREMISTS LIKE SAM BROWN PAVED THE WAY TO NEAR TOTAL ABORTION BAN IN ARIZONA 

The Arizona Supreme Court ruling this week in favor of a near-total abortion ban is a reminder that extreme anti-abortion Republican politicians like Sam Brown paved the way for these extreme restrictions by supporting the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and they won’t stop pushing their anti-abortion agendas nationwide. 

Overturning Roe v. Wade paved the way for states across the country to enact cruel and dangerous attacks on reproductive rights, including Alabama’s effort to restrict IVF treatment and the recent U.S. Supreme Court hearings on the abortion medication Mifepristone.

Over the past decade, Brown has made his opposition to abortion rights clear. He has repeatedly supported abortion bans with no exceptions for rape or incest, like the one in Arizona, and he strongly supported overturning Roe v. Wade. He even declared that his anti-abortion position is “non-negotiable.”
