North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee announced Tuesday morning that he is switching political parties.
Lee made the announcement on ‘Fox and Friends’ early Tuesday. Lee’s campaign claims he’s the most prominent Democratic elected official to switch parties since President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
Lee cited recent leadership changes within the Nevada Democratic Party, calling it a “Socialist takeover.” Lee’s campaign website now reflects the switch.
“Though I’ve been a registered Democrat on paper my entire life, I made the switch in my heart a long time ago, because on some things, there’s simply no compromise,” Lee said in a statement. “That’s why I voted for President Trump twice.”
I hope he’s for real, but there have been so many democrat/socialists infiltrating the republican party, I can’t trust anyone any more.
It’s the only way you can become a Republican mayor in a shit democrat run town where your tourism ads depends on the TV show COPS. lol
Kind like saying I’ve switched from hard liquor to beer, so I’m no longer a drunk.
It’s more dangerous at this time to come out of the Republican closet than it was for homosexuals to come out of the closet in the sixties.
id trust those that publicly switch and make a stand vs those that pretend to be conservatives but are not.
I worked in an elected office for many years in Nevada and I can tell you I always enjoyed working with John Lee. As a Democrat, he was a better Republican than some of the Republicans I had to work with.
So…he switched from a party of liars to the other party of liars?
Does that pretty much sum it up.
Thanks, Brown Eyed Girl
MJA, I can remember when he was in the state legislature. I’d go to testify on a bill and if he happened to be on that committee, he’d interrupt the hearing when I came in just to send down a friendly greeting. Always made me feel great.
