Deranged woman is running for Governor of Nevada

[FT-02 Senator A.F.E. 🇵🇸🤝🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦]

Personally, I think it's a nothingburger since Sisolak currently has alright approval ratings so far.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A Las Vegas city councilwoman who gained national attention for her support of militiamen who clashed with federal law officers during armed standoffs last decade said Tuesday she is running for governor of Nevada.

Republican Michele Fiore announced her plan to run at a news conference at the Italian-American club in Las Vegas, where she talked about her political battles and said she’d bring the same fervor to fighting vaccine mandates, terrorist organizations and election fraud.

Fiore, a New York City native, served in Nevada’s Assembly from 2012 to 2016, during which she opposed tax increases, supported gun rights and spearheaded a controversial proposal that would have dramatically curbed federal power to manage public lands and waters in Nevada.

Her ties to rancher Cliven Bundy and his family put her in a media spotlight during armed standoffs between self-described citizen militia members and federal law enforcement in Bunkerville, Nevada, in 2014 and Malheur, Oregon, in 2016.

She gained additional attention during a 2016 run for Congress for sending a Christmas card showing her and her family with a variety of firearms. She was elected to the City Council in 2017.

“I’ve spent my whole life fighting the establishment,” Fiore says in a campaign video released Tuesday, standing in front of a Ford F-150 adorned with a Trump 2024 bumper sticker. “We need outsiders, fighters, not the same old boring, moderate, compromise blue-blazer politicians.”

The video shows Fiore walking through the desert in a red dress with a handgun strapped to her waist that she unholsters to fire at bottles labeled “vaccine mandates,” “critical race theory” and “voter fraud.”

Fiore’s entrance adds her to a list of Republican gubernatorial candidates in Nevada and other purple states who are assailing state-level executive actions that Democratic incumbents running for reelection have enacted. In Nevada, candidates trying to unseat Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak have blamed the state’s sluggish economic recovery on mandates and restrictions he put in place.

[It’s so Joever]

Please use the more sensitive word,”Republican” to describe this woman. It’s 2021, let’s not be saying the d slur to describe those who are struggling with this serious problem.

I'd much rather be called deranged than Republican.

[DrScholl]

Also a failed actress.

Maybe it's actually a case of performance art depicting a Republican in a satirical way for real this time. This will be her big break!

This; also, see my signature for what I used as a display name for a while.

call me QAnon because I wanna storm on her

[Badger]

My first thought was that this was about a Sharon Angle comeback. But then considering even a bona-fide nutcase like her to the represent the craziest extreme wing of the GOP is so 2010.

You can call her the Capitol building; she's certainly large enough.

[Meclazine for Israel]

Also a failed actress.

Aren't we all failed actresses in the theatre of life?

[PSOL]

Never before since the first Klan has such a rise in the importance of parallel agents of violence arose to challenge the monopoly the state has on it. Yet, saying this, the events are being led top-down.

[Vaccinated Russian Bear]

Hillary is running in NV!!?

Oh, wait, it's just a councilwoman. Muh. In her defense  I can say, that she, at least, doesn't call a half of country deplorables.

 If deplorables like you weren't so deplorable and numerous, she wouldn't have to.

[Xing]

You meant to say "generic Republican", right?

[GP270watch]

 A google search of this lady is nuts. It looks like a parody of all the dumbest elements of American culture. Family photos with young children holding guns, everybody has The Purge type grin on their face, creepy.

Because I’m sure she has a very high opinion of liberals.

I literally LOL'd when I saw the news about Fiore jumping in.  The woman is a hoot!  (To laugh at, not with, if that wasn’t clear.)

Here's the best part of her many contributions to the brief period of time when the GOP controlled the Nevada Assembly:

Heller has more support overall and name recognition than this random Trump lady, though both would lose to Sisolak.

You're correct about Heller, but Fiore isn’t some "random Trump lady". She’s been fairly well known in the state (for mostly the wrong reasons) for nearly a decade.

Fun fact: We had our engagement photos taken at that same dry lake.

Anyway, her claim that she was the first female Assembly majority leader is partly true.  Yes, the GOP caucus elected her as such, but the incoming Speaker removed her from the job before the legislative session even began.

That whole session was just non-stop dysfunction.  Nevada Republicans are a hot mess.

This is the trailer of her movie

The acting leaves a lot to be desired.

Neil Breen needs to make a movie with her. They both live in Nevada after all.

At first I thought this was Sharron "some of you look a little more Asian to me" Angle. How incredibly disappointing it was to find otherwise.

[Real Texan Politics]

Cringe ad. Still supporting Lombardo for the primary. Though I'm worried Fiore will get Trump's endorsement

I know I was really hoping she would run again she was great humor in 2010!

[GP270watch]

 This is honestly like bad satire from a dystopian vision of America. Paul Verhoeven couldn't do any better.
