... According to the statement released by the governor's spokesperson, Sisolak "is deeply disappointed in how this incident unfolded, particularly with the language used to talk about First Lady Kathy Sisolak's heritage. We can disagree about the issues, but the personal attacks and threats are unwarranted, unwelcome and unbecoming behavior for Nevadans."

The governor's office said it would have no further comment on the incident, citing an ongoing investigation.

One of the men in the video has since been identified by news outlets as Justin Andersch, a right wing podcaster who has taken credit for accosting the couple ...

Wednesday, March 2, 2022 | 2 a.m.

Threatening someone over political differences, shouting ethnic slurs and then boasting about it isn’t patriotism. It’s thuggery ...

While the decision to threaten the Sisolaks lies solely with Andersch and his fellow thug, who as of this writing hadn’t been publicly identified, the rhetoric from Republican leadership is only fanning hatred that erupts in such displays ...

The nation needs voices of reason and rationality — like Javier Barajas, the owner of Lindo Michoacan restaurant, where the incident occurred. Barajas put it very well in explaining why he ejected the men from the establishment – the first time he’s had to do so in his 32 years in business in Las Vegas ...
