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.”

So starts the Republicans are racist campaign. And if you don’t vote for Harris, you too are racist
Al Sharpton, Mr Racial Grievance Grifter and waterboy for the Democrats, is pushing this nonsense. Remember Freddy’s Fashion Mart, “ white [Jewish] interloper” and the ensuing mass murder by a racist black.
Aaron Ford, the black Democrat Nevada AG, won the election with the support of unions and a powerful and wealthy group of Mormon lawyers
For the sake of argument, even if Ahern made those remarks, it doesn’t come under the purview of the AG. Of course, the actual laws don’t matter to the Democrats. What matters to Democrats is using the guise of the law to act as either a cudgel or shield depending which is advantageous to them.
How many blacks has Soros killed?
I wonder if this signals a new tactic..going after the big donors.
An old tactic. Didn't they go after Steve Wynn in 2016? He's apparently pro-Trump.
SO..
Rev “Hymie-Town” Sharpton is now against racial epithets?
It never ended. Who cares anymore, except the clueless.
Is any of that illegal to say?
Feinstein hired a known Chinese spy to share secret US information with and to speak openly about those secrets. That was actually illegal.
When did the word “faggot” have to be x’d out?
and being an @$$hole is a Crime? Being Racist is a crime? Being an idiot is a crime??? Being accused by a racist @$$hole is a crime????
I thought that was Jackson. Where is ol’ Jessie these days ?
Its how they got Obama elected..you had the media non stop tell people “You dont vote for Obama you hate blacks” its how they got white people to show up and vote for him, white guilt..the same commies who couldn’t vote for Harris in 2020 are now telling everyone yes you have to vote for her now..why, what agenda is she promising to make America better..its the same agenda as Biden, heck its WORSE..she makes Biden look moderate with her ideology
Opposing the Democrat Party is a crime.
Let me know when it goes from *accused* to *proven*.
Otherwise, this is more race baiting.
This is NOT President Trump. He has no control over the idiocy of some supporters and donors. I’m sure if this news is substantiated, President Trump will take appropriate action.
Ask Rev Al how much to make this go away.
I always put a lot of credibility on anything a lowlife lying scumbag like Al Sharpton says.
Has he EVER been held accountable for Tawana Brawley extortion/scam/claims?
Just as soon as Sharpton has paid his FEDERAL Taxes now in arrears more than 10 years! Years!
And his famous tune: “Barack the Magic Negro”
Sharpton is the imitated “singer”. Barack being “black but not authentically”.

Absolute race baiter. Never forget Trayvon Martin and Crumb the attorney trolling for dollars— race baiting to avoid the truth of what their “community” has done to black males.
Familiar pattern. Apparently Mark Townsend made these allegations in a lawsuit filed in 2022, Ahern denied the allegations and subsequently settled. Presumably a billionaire’s lawyers are smart enough to get a non disclosure agreement. Not suggesting Townsend is talking about this now, Sharpton is capable of assembling the allegations from court documents.
