Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak Is Aggressively Confronted At Restaurant, Threaten To Hang Him

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Two men confronted Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak and his wife at a Las Vegas restaurant and threatened him with hanging in a tirade captured on video.

Meghin Delaney, a spokeswoman for Sisolak, said the governor, first lady Kathy Sisolak and one of his daughters were at a restaurant Sunday when someone asked to take a photo with him.

In the video, which has been shared over social media, the man says, "I can't tell you what a piece of s*** you are."

"Sorry to hear that," Sisolak replies.

A second man joins and they begin yelling at Sisolak, with one calling him a "New World Order traitor piece of s***," referring to a conspiracy theory popular with anti-government extremists, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

The man doing the accosting wore a red t-shirt that says "Cannabis and Combat." ID'd through social media, he is Justin Andersch, who has a right-wing website and vlog of the same name.

The Sisolaks leave the restaurant and are followed by the two men, one of whom asks where his security is as they continue to yell.

"We should string you up on a lamppost right now," says one man, who calls the governor a "working-for-China piece of s***."
