On Oct 25th, MAGA extremist Sam Brown will campaign alongside RNC Chairman Michael Whatley, a known election denier who, like Brown, pushed to overturn the 2020 election and spread baseless election conspiracy theories.

Sam Brown has repeatedly supported MAGA efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Nevada, actively spread the kind of election conspiracy theories that had fueled the brutal mob attacking the Capitol on January 6, and even downplayed the violent events of that day. 

Brown said the violent rioters who attacked our nation’s Capitol, which led to the deaths of five law enforcement officers, were just showing a “patriotic expression” of their “love of country.”

Just last week, longtime Nevada journalist Jon Ralston pressed Brown on his record of spreading election conspiracy theories and his repeated attacks on Adam Laxalt for failing to successfully challenge the results of the 2020 election in Nevada.

“MAGA extremists like Sam Brown and Michael Whatley sowed doubt about the outcome of the 2020 election and spread the conspiracy theories that fueled the January 6th insurrection. It is ironic that this pair is now hosting a Get Out the Vote event after they have made it abundantly clear they do not respect the will of Nevadans.”
