Family of Twitler-backed Senate candidate endorses his Democratic opponent

Members of wingnut U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt’s family have publicly endorsed his Democratic opponent, The Nevada Independent reports. 

Fourteen members of Laxalt’s family signed a three-page letter endorsing incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto in the race for Nevada's Senate seat, saying that they believe Masto "possesses a set of qualities that clearly speak of what we like to call ‘Nevada grit,’” adding that “no further comments will be made, as we believe this letter speaks for itself.”

"Catherine is a model of the 'Nevada grit' that we so often use to describe our Nevada forefathers," the family wrote. "Her entire career is not a simple “sound-bite” that merely speaks of supporting Nevada. Rather, her entire career demonstrates years of bold actions that she has taken as an authentic advocate of Nevada. In so many ways, Senator Catherine Cortez Masto exemplifies what it simply means to be a Nevadan. She has learned from her home state. She has fought for it. She is proud of it. As a proud Nevada family, we are honored to endorse Catherine Cortez Masto for the prestigious national role of U.S. Senator for Nevada."
