(Las Vegas, NV) – "Following Saturday's assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, in which the President was shot through the ear and retired Buffalo Township Fire Chief Corey Comperatore was tragically killed, Susie Lee, my opponent for Nevada's 3rd congressional district, posted on social media that 'Political violence of any kind can never be tolerated in America.'
I completely agree with that statement.
But recently, Lee and other Nevada Democrats have intentionally sought to demonize me and sow the seeds of division with lies that accuse me of:
Wanting to imprison women for having abortions, even though I strongly oppose a federal abortion ban and respect Nevada's laws.
Sympathizing with the KKK, despite serving on a state Civil Rights Commission and volunteering hundreds of hours to reduce the overrepresentation of minorities in the criminal justice system.
Threatening the rights of the LGBTQ community, when I was one of the first conservative leaders in America to support gay marriage and advocate for same-sex adoption.
Planning to reduce Social Security and Medicare benefits, even though I have devoted my career to eliminating wasteful spending and redirecting those savings to make entitlements solvent in the future.
Susie Lee's and other Democrats' disgusting lies and inflammatory fearmongering fuel the hatred and divisiveness that result in political violence like we saw in Pennsylvania. I challenge Susie Lee to stop the lies and provide her vision for improving our divided country based on legitimate differences between us. I invite her to join me in waging a truthful, decent, fact-based campaign." - Nevada Congressional District 3 candidate Drew Johnson
