Policy, politics and progressive commentary
Nevada Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sam Brown was scheduled to speak in Elko Saturday, part of his campaign’s “Rural Tour.”
But the “Rural Tour” campaign stop was canceled due to, as the Elko County Republican Party put it on social media, “unintended circumstances.”
The unintended circumstances, it turns out, is a cryptocurrency conference in Tennessee. Instead of Elko on Saturday, Brown is now scheduled to be in Nashville to attend “Bitcoin24,” where he will participate in a half-hour early morning panel titled “Bitcoin as a winning political strategy.”
The conference’s main event will be remarks from none other than Donald Trump. His rants generally don’t mention crypto. But they are invariably cryptic, so close enough.
Joining Brown on the Saturday morning panel will be fellow Republican Senate hopefuls Bernie Moreno of Ohio and John Deaton of Massachusetts.
