RINO ALERT: Anti-Cop and Pro-Porn Nevada ‘Republican’ Drew Johnson Announces Run for U.S. Congress

Failed county commissioner candidate Drew Johnson has announced his campaign for Congress in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District.

Johnson is claiming to be a principled outsider, but a closer look into his record shows that his branding is a lie. Johnson is a beltway elitist at heart, a corporatist libertarian who uses small government rhetoric as lip gloss to conceal a deeply unpopular America Last agenda.

Johnson has frequently used his social media  platform as a think tank intellectual to oppose the death penalty, bash police officers, promote porn as a “miracle product,” and similarly promote strip clubs as a preventative measure against child abuse. Absurd assertions on their face, and you don’t need to dig too far to find them.

While LVMPD’s ranks dwindle and the crime rate rises, knowing how your elected officials view the law enforcement profession is essential. Here’s a post from a while back that Johnson attempted to conceal to voters by deleting it:

This isn’t an isolated case. After claiming “trash men and farmers” have a more dangerous profession than police, Johnson repeated the same statement almost word for word:

The whole thing can be read here. It’s not encouraging to see a congressional candidate express Antifa’s view of police or, for that matter, help drunk drivers evade police capture.


But that isn’t his only broadside against law and order. Consider this Review-Journal op-ed against the death penalty:

“The Assembly voted last month to abolish the state’s ineffective and fiscally reckless death penalty. As a fiscal conservative who is committed to protecting taxpayers from government mismanagement, I couldn’t be happier…

The cost of executions has skyrocketed nationwide. This is due in part to the exorbitant cost of capital prosecutions, as well as the choice of lethal injection as a method of execution.”

What’s more important is what the piece does not say. Johnson avoids the moral argument entirely- similar wonks have thought of ways to reduce the cost of litigation and execution. Still, Johnson only ventures to question capital punishment’s value as a deterrent to violent crime.

Speaking of deterrents, Drew Johnson is a big fan of internet porn and strip clubs because he believes they satisfy rapists, cheaters, and child abusers in the same way a drunk can turn to seltzer water.

This is a view Johnson has held for a while. The tweet above doubles down on a 2013  disaster op-ed where he goes in-depth on why he believes pornography is a “miracle product.”

“A miracle product exists that is responsible for dramatically reducing the number of rapes and sexual assaults in America…

Even though this invention has proven so beneficial, millions of Americans want to moderate and even eliminate it. Why? Because the thing reducing rape and sexual assault, and producing a safer, more family-friendly society, is really, really offensive to a lot of Americans: low or no-cost, high quality online pornography.”

He goes on to explain (emphasis added):

“Internet pornography has served as a firewall, satiating would-be rapists and protecting their potential victims…

[I]ndividuals who may have broken up their marriages by cheating on their spouses in the past now find sexual gratification through porn, rather than searching for intimate relationships outside their marriages.”

Johnson’s bizarre views make him the wrong choice for Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District. This RINO should be flushed in the primary.
