Koch lackey Adam Laxalt raising $ in Nevada

Former Nevada Attorney General and loser of the 2018 NV gubernatorial race is out in the boonies rising money for his Morning in Nevada PAC. Not sure what he's going to run for this time, but I sure know we don't want him.

The Laxalt name runs deep in Nevada politics and still carries a lot of weight, but not for him. In a nutshell he's the bastard son of former U.S. Senator Pete Domenici from Arizona and former Nevada Governor and U.S Senator from Nevada Paul Laxalt's daughter Michelle Laxalt. Michelle Laxalt raised him as a single mother and his paternity was never revealed until he was an adult. There's a lot of bad blood between these folks (no pun intended). See the wiki for his story and many of his slimy political connections...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Laxalt.

Former Nevada Attorney General and failed Republican gubernatorial candidate Adam Laxalt’s political action committee has added a former Ms. Nevada to the roster of speakers at the PAC’s “Basque Fry.”

Las Vegan Katie Williams was stripped of her Nevada title by the Ms. America pageant earlier this month after pageant officials determined Williams had combined pageant promotion and her support for Donald Trump’s views on social media, in violation of the pageant’s “No Politics” eligibility requirements.

Since losing her title, Williams has been hailed as a martyr and a heroine by Fox News and other media outlets on the right.


Others scheduled to speak at the event include former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandoski, former Trump administration acting U.S. Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, and Trump administration acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.

The political picnic is also coupled with a conference hosted by Laxalt’s PAC and and the American Conservative Union, which will be held in Reno on Friday, Sept. 13.
