According to texts released by Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, a former friend, in January, in April 2021 Chattah had written to her about Ford, "This guy should be hanging from a fucking crane."

She said later that the comment was "tongue-in-cheek" and had no racial overtones. Chattah, who immigrated to the United States from Israel at the age of 14, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in February, "When I say to my friends, 'I'm going to hang you from a crane,' I don't literally mean I'm going to hang you from a crane. ... I would never attribute a racial context to hanging from a crane. ... That is my culture. That's what is done to people in the Middle East, to traitors. And that's just part of my vernacular."

Chattah, who rose to prominence among conservatives in Nevada by suing Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak over his COVID-19 mitigation efforts, including efforts to end mask and vaccination requirements, opposes reproductive rights and says she would prosecute women who get abortions.

Asked during the television program "Nevada Newsmakers" on May 5 whether she would be in favor of changing the state's statutory right to abortion, Chattah responded, "As somebody that is pro-life, I would definitely take the position that life begins at the time of fetal heartbeat. And really, the way I look at it is the same way that we do sentencing enhancements on unborn children, victims, of unborn children. I would marry it to that. I have a problem with that inconsistency."

4. GOPers say something outrageous, then when they're called out for it,

they're all "Oh, I was just joking! I'd never actually mean such a thing!" and you know damn well they weren't kidding because violence is a thing with them these days.

6. But Ford isn't her friend, right?

"When I say to my friends, 'I'm going to hang you from a crane,' I don't literally mean I'm going to hang you from a crane.

Hanging people from a crane is her "culture".

Yeah, like lynching is the culture of white supremacists.
