Nevada’s “increasingly nasty” MAGA primary escalates as Brown begs for Trump’s approval
New reporting from CNN revealed that MAGA extremist Sam Brown flew to Mar-A-Lago last week to beg for Donald Trump’s endorsement in the “increasingly nasty” MAGA Republican primary. Brown has gone all-in on his unequivocal support for the disgraced former president in a desperate attempt to secure an endorsement and try to appeal to the MAGA base of his party.
Brown also went on a right-wing media tour where he said Donald Trump is the reason he’s running for Senate and bragged about being an “active volunteer” for the Trump campaign. Meanwhile, former Trump ambassador Jeff Gunter is threatening a multi-million dollar ad buy touting his “110%” support for Trump.
