Once Adam Laxalt had established himself as the “face of” the Big Lie, laid “detailed groundwork” to overturn the 2022 election, and hired an insurrectionist as his top campaign aide, he was ready for step four: defending Donald Trump at all costs, even if that meant attacking law enforcement.

In recent months, Laxalt has called federal law enforcement “un-American” and went after federal officers. As MSNBC put it, “as Laxalt sees it, if law enforcement is investigating possible crimes from someone the Nevada Republican likes, then there must be something wrong with law enforcement.”

Laxalt has faced major criticism from law enforcement leadership for turning his back on police and fundraising off the Big Lie, even after it fueled the January 6 insurrection. He faced even more criticism from Nevada law enforcement leaders after he hired an insurrectionist as his senior aide. Instead of responding to their calls, Laxalt hired another senior aide who pushed an FBI revenge-fantasy and called to abolish federal law enforcement for investigating January 6.

With Donald Trump coming to Nevada on Saturday to campaign for Adam Laxalt, Nevada Democratic Victory released The Official Adam Laxalt Guide to Overturning Elections to Gain Power. In just five steps, Laxalt has become the biggest threat to Nevada and the nation since Donald Trump, and he’s not stopping anytime soon.
