These guys must think we are complete imbeciles, that we can't remember what they said yesterday. Nevada GOP gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo, sheriff of Clark County, has done a complete 180 degree reversal from his position on Nevada's abortion law.
Now, Lombardo says
Less than two weeks ago, he told a Review-Journal reporter that he would consider repealing Sisolak’s executive order, calling it “political theater.”
Republican candidates see the abortion issue as a total loser for them, so now they think they can simply get away by lying about their true positions.
Clark County Sheriff and Republican gubernatorial hopeful Joe Lombardo has changed his stance on whether to repeal an executive order protecting women from being prosecuted for seeking an abortion in Nevada, with less than two months to go until the Nov. 8 election.
He published a note on his campaign website Wednesday that outlined where he stands on abortion and what sort of actions he would take as governor. At least one of those stances is different from what he said just a couple of weeks ago.
Previously, Lombardo said he would look to repeal Gov. Steve Sisolak’s executive order that protects out-of-state patients seeking reproductive health care in Nevada, which Sisolak signed in June after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Now, Lombardo says
"Because there are efforts in other states that could impact Nevadans, I have made a commitment not to repeal that executive order until the Legislature can make clear that Nevada is not going to prosecute women who seek an abortion or medical providers that perform legal abortions."
