“Danny Tarkanian’s history of misdeeds and ethical lapses has lost him five campaigns already. Running away from the evidence won’t make them go away – but it does make our job this November that much easier.” – Drew Godinich, DCCC spokesperson
Turns out Tough Guy Tarkanian ain’t so tough. Earlier today, Danny Tarkanian tweeted footage from President Trump’s speech this weekend saying that Danny is ‘even tougher’ than his father. So we tweeted at Danny Tarkanian to ask about his taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from his parents’ life insurance policy without telling them. And then Danny blocked us.
The kicker: despite calling our assertion ‘fake news’ – Danny Tarkanian is quoted in the linked Nevada Independent article admitting to the deed:
“Amy Tarkanian also told the court that she had no discussions with her husband about using the life insurance money to help pay down the mortgage, or about any of the sources of the $400,000 used to pay down the principal reduction of the mortgage.
“Danny Tarkanian testified that while he didn’t tell family members about the loan immediately, he would have disclosed it and other financial arrangements as part of the annual family meeting where he would go over the finances of each of the family’s associated businesses.
“This is a common occurrence… that has occurred with my family, and no one’s ever had objection to it ever,” he said.
