Trump Event Snub? “Cabo Kasama’s” Country Club Detour
Source: Nevada News & Views
Clark County Commission District F is a serious pick-up opportunity for Republicans after scandal-ridden Democrat incumbent Justin Jones mercifully opted not to seek re-election and the likely Democrat nominee is a disaster-in-waiting.
But the GOP primary to replace him has become a five-alarm fire.
Assemblywoman Heidi Kasama was the first to announce her GOP candidacy for the seat last year – and clearly thought she’d clear the field and advance to the general election without a credible primary challenge.
Then newcomer Albert Mack tossed his hat in the ring. And the mud and the blood and the beer have flowed non-stop ever since. The latest:
Mack dropped a digital meme on social media this week noting Kasama’s support for Rep. Susie “Potty Mouth” Lee a few years ago.
An obviously irked Kasama responded with a spam-text message repeating her debunked claim about Mack being a Hillary supporter.
Actually, she didn’t.
She announced her intent to run against Lee in 2024, but backed out and ran for re-election to her Assembly seat instead.
Which brings us to President Trump’s “No Tax On Tips” visit to Las Vegas on Thursday.
Mack – the supposed “Trump Hater” – was reportedly invited to sit in the VIP section for the roundtable event by Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald.

And by all accounts, he was extremely well-received by the multitude of MAGA folks in attendance.
Missing in Action: Kasama.
Why didn’t she go and show support for the President?
I mean, you didn’t need a VIP ticket to get in. General admission tickets were free. You just had to register. That’s how my daughter Kristen and I got in.
So where was the self-proclaimed Trump supporter if not at this rare Trump event in her own home town?
Well, reportedly she ducked the Trump event and instead played a round of golf at an elite Las Vegas country club.
