Laxalt Ad: ‘Desperate’ Cortez Masto Spends Millions on ‘Defamatory Ads’

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt released his second general election political ad on Wednesday, hammering “desperate” incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) for releasing ads that are “deemed false, misleading, and full of defamatory claims that don’t add up by several news outlets.”

The ad, entitled “Gutter Politics,” will run on cable and broadcast across the Silver State. The spot focuses on how Cortez Masto’s recent mudslinging ads received false ratings from local outlets, including the Washington Post, which gave them seven “Pinocchio’s” combined.

The ad states:

Catherine Cortez-Masto is desperate — spending millions attacking Adam Laxalt’s family and childhood, and lying about his record. Pathetic. The Reno Gazette Journal fact-checker labeled Cortez-Masto’s ads false. The Washington Post called Cortez-Masto’s ads especially bad, misleading, and full of false claims that don’t add up.

“Gutter politics can’t hide Cortez-Masto’s record of failure,” the ad continues. “Nevada deserves results, not more lies.”

Laxalt’s ad is in direct reference to several of Cortez Masto’s commercials aired in August. The first, aired on August 2, accused Laxalt of protecting opioid manufacturers from lawsuits during his time as Nevada’s Attorney General. Another ad, aired on August 13, claims that Laxalt would not sue pharmaceutical companies that donated to his Attorney General campaign.

Just a few days earlier, the Reno Gazette Journal also gave Cortez Masto a false rating for claiming that Laxalt would support a national abortion ban.

Good on ya Adam. The mantoes ads are pretty nasty but, what would we expect from a hairy reid prodigy? Lying liars and the lies they lie about. That the rgj gave cat mantoes a false rating is a WTAH? moment. Sort of one of those "Okay, who hid the real reno gazette journal?" As for the abortion thing? Sorry liars, the nevaDUH legislature assured abortions would be allowed in NV up to 24 weeks decades ago. (1990 IIRC) Correct as needed FRiends.

One of the questions I asked yesterday was, concerning his ads, who hires these campaign people? Bunch of tone deaf, out of touch ad agency types?

Also that Oz ad in a grocery store is pitiful. Perhaps it’s aimed at suburban Philadelphians. He should be hounding Uncle Fester on the new IRS agents.

What is wrong with Republicans! Fire every damn consultant. First he had the typical stupid politition ad about his childhood. Now he is playing defense in an ad. How about ads attacking his opponent for her votes over the last 6 years? Blame her part for inflation. Crime and homeless bums so bad in Las Vegas it could hurt tourism. It should be so freaking easy. I’ve also heard the typical irritating “tell so and so” ads from some PAC. In this case they start out “Tell Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto to stop...”. Those are ineffective ads. They don’t even tell listeners to vote for Laxalt instead of Masto.

Yup. The “unhoused” in Reno are also a yuge issue. We rarely go into downtown Reno anymore. They are even spreading into the suburbs in larger numbers. And some group is running ad decrying her activities and suggesting folks call her and tell her to stop. Same with gov sissypants. Call him and tell him to stop. No, vote them out. Calling them ain’t gonna do it. As I said, whoever is in charge of hiring these 🤡s needs to be run out of town.
