Laxalt’s family supports Catherine Cortez Masto

The hits just keep coming for Nevada’s Republican Senate nominees, Adam Laxalt. The Trump-backed former state attorney general was part of viral news last week for being one of the beneficiaries of a National Republican Senatorial Committee fundraiser– the one Mehmet Oz spoke to one of Hitler’s cars.

Now the Nevada independent reports that 14 members of the Laxalt family agreed his Democratic opponent, incumbent Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. The paper received a Letter from the group, which makes no mention of Laxalt or his Senate campaign but praises Masto, who also served as Attorney General. “We believe Catherine possesses a number of qualities that speak clearly of what we like to call ‘Nevada Grains,'” the letter reads, adding, “Catherine has always demonstrated a strong loyalty to her home state of Nevada. She has always put Nevada first—even if it meant working against her own party’s policies.”

The group told the outlet that “no further comments will be made as we believe this letter speaks for itself.”

It’s quite the embarrassment for Laxalt, but it’s safe to say he’s probably used to it by now. When he was Nevada’s Republican nominee for governor in 2018, 12 of his family members crowded not to choose him. (He lost to Steve Sisolak by four points.) This time, his family takes an even bigger step by officially supporting his opponent.

It’s not the first time family members have publicly shitted on their political relatives. Also in 2018 six siblings Member of Parliament Paul Gosar (R-AZ), who refused to vote, called on voters to support his democratic opponent. In 2021, some of them said it should be him kicked out of Congress for downplaying the January 6 riot in the Capitol.

We hope the Laxalts don’t have to share food this Thanksgiving.
