Tarkanian Loses Again, Sues Again

Danny Tarkanian is suing his opponent, Democrat Jacky Rosen, over campaign ads. The lawsuit was filed today in Clark County District Court.  Tarkanian, who was running in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District, is seeking damages worth more than $8 million, and reimbursement for attorney’s fees. The lawsuit alleges that Rosen and her campaign produced  ads containing false and defamatory statements that accused Tarkanian of setting up “13 fake charities that preyed on vulnerable seniors” as part of a telemarketing scheme. Stewart Boss, communications director for the Nevada State Democratic Party, responded with a Tweet saying  “This is pathetic. DannyTarkanian is broke & trying to blame his loss on someone else,  so he has an excuse to run for office *again*” Tarkanian won a 150 thousand dollar settlement over the same issues in a previous election.
