It was reported that while Cortez Masto was the attorney general of Nevada, she was complicit in ignoring a corrupt guardianship "program" that was abusing seniors.[1]
U.S. Senate
After Harry Reid announced that he would not seek re-election in 2016,[2] he endorsed Cortez Masto to encourage her to run for his Senate seat.[3] The latter later ran and won the general election by less than 3% of the vote.[4]
Cortez Masto opposed Donald Trump's plan to decertify the Iran nuclear deal, absurdly claiming that it was “the best option we had to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”[5]
Views
Cortez Masto is generally a liberal who supports unrestricted abortion, illegal immigration, and the neocon agenda of endless wars.[6] She was opposed to same-sex "marriage" as the Attorney General of Nevada before supporting it.[7]
