As the nation approaches the one year anniversary of the deadly January 6th siege of the Capitol tomorrow, corrupt, failed politician Adam Laxalt is still refusing to condemn the violence he helped fuel. Laxalt led national efforts to spread Trump’s Big Lie, headlining Trump’s “Stop the Steal” campaign that culminated in the January 6 attack.
Laxalt’s ONLY comment about the insurrection has been to complain about what he considered to be unfair treatment of President Trump, referencing “that fateful day in January when they pulled [Trump] off social media.”
Remember, Laxalt spearheaded efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Nevada, became “the face of” Trump’s Big Lie in the state and “orchestrat[ed] a slew of failed lawsuits meant to stop the ballot tally.” A Nevada judge, the Nevada Supreme Court, and Nevada’s Republican Secretary of State all ruled there was no evidence of widespread fraud, yet Laxalt refused to publicly accept the outcome of the election.
Statement from Nevada Democratic Victory Spokesperson, Andy Orellana:
“Adam Laxalt led Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Nevada, headlining a “Stop the Steal” rally and spreading the Big Lie that helped incite the deadly insurrection on January 6. One year later, Laxalt has yet to condemn the violence against law enforcement and the nation’s Capitol. ”
