Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) charged her Republican opponent Adam Laxalt with “abandoning rape victims. Instead of sticking with his Attorney General job, where he was very successful, he decided to pursue a selfish ambition to try to take my Senate seat.”
During Laxalt’s four-year stint as Nevada’s Attorney General he cleared a 4,000 case backlog of rape kits that had been left unexamined by the previous holder of the office. Ironically, the previous AG was none other than Catherine Cortez Masto. During her eight year tenure only 16% of the 5,231 rape kits collected from victims were examined. The evidence in these rape kits is crucial for prosecuting rapists.
Laxalt wryly observed that “the Senator’s campaign boasts about keeping our communities safe and standing up for vulnerable women and girls seem out-of-line with her actions when she was in a position to do something about it.”
The Senator brushed aside the criticism, saying “rape was only a small portion of the total crimes committed while I was AG. The much bigger threat to women comes from those who want to restrict access to abortions. These are the vulnerable women and girls that I will always stand up for. Besides, as an enemy of democracy, Laxalt is not qualified to serve in the Senate.”
