Today, Joe Lombardo, along with Virginia Governor and fellow abortion-stance-hider Glenn Youngkin, will campaign at a Las Vegas church that promotes an extreme anti-abortion, anti-gay agenda. Lombardo has relentlessly tried hiding his extreme anti-abortion stances but behind the scenes, he’s campaigning at anti-abortion institutions that compare abortion to the Holocaust and funding misleading crisis pregnancy centers in his official capacity as sheriff and through his campaign.

- Clark County Sheriff and Republican gubernatorial nominee Joe Lombardo plans to hold a town hall breakfast on Thursday at Liberty Baptist Church in Las Vegas, which opposes homosexuality and was founded by a man with a history of homophobic comments.
- Dave Teis, the church’s founder and senior pastor, said during a service in December 2018 that homosexuality is a “demoralizing, degrading, filthy, horrible sin.”
- The church’s on-site ministry, Liberty Baptist Academy — a private Christian school serving kindergarten through 12th-grade students — has a student handbook that “requests each student … to refrain from participating in worldly activities such as … homosexuality or other sexual perversions.”
- The church is affiliated with First Choice Pregnancy Services, a crisis pregnancy center that opposes abortion, including in cases of rape.
- The anti-homosexuality, anti-abortion views are also taught to students at the Liberty Baptist Academy.
- A textbook included in the curriculum for 11th graders called Life Management under God includes a passage arguing that legal abortions “can lead to other evils such as euthanasia,” and share “the same mentality that led to the atrocities of Hitler.”
