The Nevada Democratic Party faced a barrage of backlash after publishing a post deriding Republican Senate candidate Sam Brown as “weird.”
The starting point was an uncontroversial post in which Brown was pictured with JD Vance on the Republican vice presidential candidate’s campaign plane. The caption was a political promise to support the fight for the working class in Nevada.

In true Orwellian fashion, the Nevada Democratic Party responded with the Kamala Harris-led attack that Brown was “weird.” To put it mildly, the impression was not good.
You can’t make this up: Sam Brown and JD Vance claim to be standing up for the hard-working people of Nevada – and they do so from a private jet.

Calling someone “weird” while looking at a picture of their disfigured face is something you would expect from an elementary school student with bad parents. It’s not something a political party should do. Brown is a U.S. Army veteran who attended Ranger and Airborne school before his deployment. He was seriously injured by an IED in Afghanistan, which is why he has the observable wounds seen in the post above. He is not “weird.” He is a hero and family man who picked himself up from immense pain and suffering to start a company that provides medical supplies to veterans.
The attempted dig at a “private jet” is also immensely idiotic. All vice presidential candidates fly on private jets for security reasons. Will Kamala Harris fly to Nevada with Frontier Airlines? Will her soon-to-be-announced running mate? Of course not. Nothing about the fact that she flew on Vance’s jet disproves Brown’s statement.
However, the Senate candidate took the attack calmly, and his response made the Democrats look downright pathetic.
Yes, you can call my face strange. It won’t be the first or last time I hear that. But my message is not directed at you.
My message is for anyone else who has been humiliated or labeled as “weird” because of their experiences or their personality…

Some Democrats responded by claiming the Nevada Democratic Party didn’t call his face weird. Well, then what did they call weird? Because I don’t think you can objectively call an Army veteran who sacrificed his body for this nation and then spent his civilian life helping the underprivileged “weird.” So yes, I believe the post was meant to make fun of his appearance, and I find the backtracking now completely implausible.
I hope Brown emerges victorious in November. It will be tough because he is running against an incumbent, but if anyone deserves to go to Washington, it’s him.
