Nevada's U.S. Senate race between incumbent Democrat Jacky Rosen and Republican challenger Sam Brown could determine party control of Capitol Hill's upper chamber. Millions of out-of-state dollars from both sides are spent on vitriolizing the opposing campaign.

In battleground state Nevada, first-term Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen is defending her seat against retired Purple Heart recipient Sam Brown.

To read about Sam Brown's misleading attack ad against Senator Rosen see below. 

 The Rosen campaign attack ad, "Depend," asserts that Sam Brown supports sunsets and deep cuts to Medicare and Social Security.

In Depend, the narrator begins by stating, "Nevadans rely on social security and Medicare, but MAGA extremist Sam Brown is jeopardizing them. Sam Brown advocated for the phasing out of Medicare and Social Security."

MISLEADING: While Sam Brown has previously supported policy plans that included cuts to the federal budget, potentially affecting Social Security and Medicare without specifying protections for these programs, it's important to note that this is not part of his platform for 2024. In fact, he has clarified that he precisely would not cut these essential programs.

The narrator continues, "Sam Brown publicly supported massive cuts to Social Security and Medicare and was caught on tape saying he admires the plan to phase out Social Security and Medicare entirely in five years."

MISLEADING: The Rosen campaign ad refers to comments made by Sam Brown in February 2022 when he was running in Nevada's Republican primary for U.S. Senate and lost to Adam Laxalt.

"What Rick Scott has done in attempting to create a better roadmap for America is something that I admire as well," said Brown in a speech at Spring Mountain Republican Women in February 2022 in Southern Nevada.

Rick Scott's government reform plan would sunset all Federal programs in 5 years. There was no cut-out for Social Security (1935) or Medicare (1965).

Democrats and Republican Senate Majority Leader at the time, Mitch McConnell, criticized Scott's plan for threatening to end both senior programs. However, Scott later clarified he did not intend it for Medicare and Social Security and reintroduced the plan, protecting both programs.

Brown responded in an online video, stating that he had benefited from both programs to recover from severe burns sustained when a roadside bomb hit his Humvee while he was serving as an Army Captain in Afghanistan.

"The fact of the matter is you paid for it, you earned it, and you should keep it," said Sam Brown in the video.
