RENO, Nev. — Thirteen Nevada Republicans announced a new coalition on Monday to endorse Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford in his reelection bid against their party’s nominee, Sigal Chattah, a right-wing candidate who bested a more moderate Republican primary contender.
The announcement of “Republicans for Ford,” first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, signals a major shift in party support as the group is headlined by a former rival of Ford’s — former state Senate Majority Leader Michael Roberson, along with former GOP Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian.
“Now, more than ever, it is time to put duty to the state and country above partisan politics,” said Roberson, who has sparred with Ford over funding education with marijuana tax revenue and in Carson City, when Ford was Senate Majority Leader and Roberson was Senate Minority Leader at the same time. He also called Chattah “unhinged” and a “charlatan.”
Chattah won the June Republican primary by 11 percentage points over Tisha Black, a more moderate candidate who had the backing of Nevada’s Republican establishment. A Las Vegas-based lawyer, she is one of a few right-wing GOP candidates in Nevada who won their primary races against more moderate opponents. Chattah sued Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak over pandemic restrictions on behalf of a church and has often painted Black as a Democratic sympathizer throughout the primary.

Kick them out of the party. Period.
Thirteen? Out of how many?
“more moderate” means what here?
I HATE these motherf**kers!!!!
“...former GOP Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian.” Wonder if she’s kin to Coach Jerry Tarkanian.
Jerry would not be happy.
Those Republicans were in on the steel. They want a Democrat so that their treason is not exposed.
...but you have to give them credit for how they effectively seized much, of not most, of the GOP. Incredible!
We used to pass great platforms at the county level.
Then they were watered down at the state convention.
By the time they got to the national they became unrecognizable.
I despise the carpetbaggers who feel entitled to hold office here as soon as the ink is dry on their ID card.
I had to drop out of the party structure when they started going leftist.
You mean Tarkanian the BB cheat?
His wife I believe, not certain.
Amy is the daughter-in-law of Jerry. Married to Danny. She is a native Californian.
RINO(s) scum!
Kick them out of the party. Period.
/\
Permanently, for life.
Damn turncoats.
Assistant Democrats or assdims
Trumps greatest gift to America has been the exposure of Democrats masguerading as Republicans, and the mainstream media as the propaganda arm of the democrat (American communist) party.
Basically the same thing that will happen in Maryland.
These people who call themselves republicans believe their role is to keep the voters will in check.
Amy Tarkanian is a contributor to NewsMax. That needs to stop if she is going to be backing a Democrat.
I am sick and tired of these disloyal Republicans.
Chattah is hinged.
