NV-GOV: Laxalt flees questions about endorsement from accused rapist
Nevada Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt fled from cameras when the subject of his endorsement from a sheriff accused of rape came up.
A man asked Laxalt, the state’s attorney general, about his connection to the sheriff during a public appearance on Wednesday.
“I saw a Facebook ad about you supporting a sheriff who was accused of raping somebody,” the man noted. But before he was even able to finish, Laxalt hurriedly turned away and ended the conversation.
The ads in question come from the super PAC American Bridge. The group told the Nevada Independent they were part of a “prolonged digital campaign to hold Laxalt accountable on his support from [Storey County Sheriff Gerald] Antinoro and other misogynists and sexual harassers.”
Antinoro’s endorsement is prominently listed on Laxalt’s official campaign website. The site notes that Laxalt is “proud” to have the support of Antinoro and other sheriffs.
