![]() Which is perhaps why her campaign announcement video feels so psychotic, yet dull at the same time. And while it’s true that her time in politics has been riddled with the sort of extremist dalliances that were once career suicide for an aspiring state executive, Fiore’s enthusiastic support for domestic terrorists, violent xenophobia, and lurch toward authoritarianism seem practically jejune by today’s post-Trumpian standards. Having said all that, I still am forced to ask: What the absolute unglued hell is going on in this just-released campaign ad for aspiring Nevada governor Michele Fiore?ĭespite her claim that she’s “spent my whole life fighting the establishment,” Fiore has actually spent the better part of the past decade holding public office of some sort, first as a member of the Nevada Assembly, and then as a city council member in Las Vegas. ![]() The goal here seems not to be to appeal to as broad a swath of the overall electorate as possible, but instead to galvanize the most enthusiastically extreme members of your party to vault you into the general election, where you can worry about overall electability when you get there. Nevertheless, that’s the name of the game these days, particularly as conservative primary races heat up in preparation for the 2022 midterms. That presents something of a problem for the GOP, given that Trump remains wildly unpopular among the broader body politic, to say nothing of the fact that trying to out-Trump Trump is basically a cosplay exercise in diminishing returns. That being said, Fiore has a history of saying truly ignorant things-like claiming cancer is a fungus that can be flushed with baking soda-and continuously sticking a racist foot in her mouth while attempting to push a pro-gun, pro-police, anti-big government agenda, so her current and future constituents are in a bad place, either way.At this point in our long national political implosion, it goes without saying that the Republican Party of 2021 and beyond is fundamentally a party predicated on pleasing - and emulating - former President Donald Trump. ![]() Records show she has used political funds for personal expenses and funneled thousands of dollars to her businesses and a planning events company run by her daughter.įiore has higher political aspirations, and shady money moving doesn’t bode well for her constituents going forward. But like her hero, Donald Trump, Fiore seems to share his penchant for shady money-moving. The delay of time between when Fiore made these moves and then amended her reporting has raised red flags for some people. So far, these $60,000 in loans are not known to be illegal. In March and April, the Review-Journal reported that Fiore kept disclosing new, large “loans” to her Political Action Committee and her own campaign. The heat has been on Fiore’s campaign finances since last year. Seaman told reporters, “I can confirm that they were at City Hall and that they interviewed me about Fiore.” Seaman and Fiore had a “falling out” in the summer of 2020, and the FBI said it could neither confirm nor deny that they were interviewing people concerning Fiore. KTNV reports a complaint filed against Fiore in July of 2020 in which Fiore is accused of “using city resources to convince voters to re-elect President Donald Trump.” In July of this year, the FBI reportedly showed up at the Las Vegas City Hall and interviewed former Fiore ally City Councilwoman Victoria Seaman. ![]() Two grand jury subpoenas have been “served over the past several months” following a January raid of the Trump-idolizing Councilwoman’s Las Vegas home. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Fiore’s campaign finances are in question. Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore, best known for her twin obsessions with guns and shooting Black Lives Matter protesters, is being investigated by the federal government.
