“I’m Joe Lombardo”: A Rundown of Lombardo’s Latest Foot in Mouth Comments

After hiding from voters and dodging tough questions, Joe Lombardo finally came out of hiding to take the stage with his “commanding officer” Donald Trump. Suffering from major gaffe after gaffe, it’s clear that in Lombardo’s Nevada, Donald Trump and his “billionaire friends” come first and hardworking Nevadans come last. 

Since Lombardo has made so many out-of-touch comments in the final stretch of the race, it can be hard to keep track so here’s a rundown on the worst of the worst:

• “Commanding officer”: In leaked audio, Lombardo admitted that he takes orders from his “commanding officer” Trump instead of actually fighting to lower costs. Lombardo refuses to defend our state against Trump’s damaging, cost-raising tariffs and seemingly endless war with Iran.
  
• “I’m Joe Lombardo”: Lombardo was caught name dropping his way out of a ticket, sparking coverage everywhere from Associated Press to Fox News to The New York Times to TMZ. After this viral scandal, a Reno resident filed an ethics complaint against the governor for using his position of power to get special treatment.
  
• “Those billionaire friends”: As Nevada families drown in sky-high gas, grocery, and health care costs, Lombardo gushed on stage with Trump and said his top priority is helping his “billionaires friends” over working Nevadans. On Lombardo’s watch, Nevada has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation.
  
• “I don’t get paid very much”: While Lombardo complains that his six-figure pay isn’t enough, his salary is 334% higher than the average Nevadan’s individual income. In fact, Lombardo’s salary continues to rise while inflation outpaces average Nevadans’ wage growth.
  
• “I can’t control that”: After making it his entire campaign in 2022, Lombardo was caught on tape saying he’s powerless to address affordability, which is voters’ number one issue this election. This out-of-touch comment comes after Lombardo blocked legislation that would lower housing costs, expand paid family leave, guarantee free school meals, and cap prescription drug costs.
