A national civil rights leader is calling on Nevada to investigate a prominent Las Vegas businessman and Republican donor following allegations he repeatedly used racial slurs in the workplace and once pulled a gun on a Black truck driver.
The Rev. Al Sharpton wrote a letter to Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford calling for an investigation into Don Ahern, who made his name and fortune as a construction equipment tycoon and has become a prominent supporter of former President Donald Trump and other GOP candidates, including congressional hopeful John Lee.
Sharpton’s call for an investigation, first reported by The Hill last month, came in response to documents surfaced from a now-settled 2022 lawsuit brought by a former Ahern Rentals employee in California. Mark Townsend alleged Ahern as CEO “regularly and frequently” used the n-word and made discriminatory comments about other marginalized groups.
CNBC reported on the allegations ahead of Trump’s most recent visit to Las Vegas, where Ahern co-hosted a private fundraiser for the former president with suggested donation levels ranging from $1,000 per person to more than $840,000 per couple.
Townsend alleged Ahern made repeated racist, sexist and ageist remarks during business meetings, including saying:
“We don’t like hiring n—–s. They are dumb. They are just born that way.”
“We do not hire any n——s or women for the sales force or positions where they are first seen by the public.”
“We need to get rid of all the old f——s, n—–s, Mexicans, and women, because they’re useless.”

If no video then it didn’t happen.
THe Dem lawfare has begun.
Sharpton thinks he is a heavy hitter. He has zero credibility, just another ankle biter these days.
Sharpton hates Jews. There I said it.
Parkinson’s and other health problems.
There is going to be one issue in this election: “systemic racism”.
The Democrats, including, sadly, some YTs, will be attacking white Americans nonstop.
The GOP didn’t choose this battle, doesn’t want it, has never done well with it, and has a candidate who wants nothing more than to attract black votes to the GOP.
Unfortunately, it’s the battle the enemy has chosen, and if not fought hard it can be lost.
Now they are coming for you.Lawfare didn’t work on Trump. But his supporters, it might.
Who on earth hasn’t broken woke speech codes?
And there are plenty of those.
The GOP should run “one race, human race” messaging
Tell me Al how many people did he incite to riot and murder….like you? It a little weird a huge racist/antisemite like Sharpton accusing anyone of racism .
Who cares?
and it’s starting again. No video...no audio...nothing. Then they’ll make it about Trump and Vance....”They’re all racists”!!!!
“...once pulled a gun on a Black truck driver.”
Yet Fetterman did this, it’s on video with numerous witnesses and he is elected to the Senate and no mention of it from the left.
Investigate Sharpton.
Too many.
Al not so Sharpton is nothing but a con man.
Doesn’t the “good reverend” have taxes he needs to pay?!
I agree.
The Democrats MISSED. All else is diversion.
