A former cop and councilman mixed up in all sorts of messy stuff in a mobbed-up town finally found his true calling carrying the Donalds dirty water.Those who have followed the scandal-ridden career of Vegas cop-turned-Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald arent shocked to find him mired in Donald Trumps fake electors mess. We would have been shocked if he wasnt up to his neck in it.
The chairman and former Vegas councilman, a frothing Trump fanboy from the start, used the reflected celebrity of his relationship with the former president to promote himself and consolidate his hold on the state party even as it has foundered at the polls. Joe Biden won Nevada by more than 33,000 votes.
The ballots were counted, but the lies kept coming. In the weeks following the 2020 election, McDonald led the GOPs Stop the Steal voter fraud deception and helped promote specious lawsuits before and even after they were swiftly laughed out of court.
Naturally, McDonald was one of the phony GOP electors in seven swing states, including Nevada, that Trump hoped to use to overturn the results of the election he lost, with the party chair front and center as a Dec. 14 ceremony in front of the State Capitol in Carson City that looked more like a bad political skit than part of a strategy to help derail the democratic process.
