MUTH’S TRUTHS

Victor Joecks’ Attacks on Lombardo: A Spat that Only Helps the Left

(Chuck Muth) – Let me first go on record acknowledging that Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Victor Joecks is a solid conservative and an excellent writer whose primary interest is social and cultural issues.

In fact, Citizen Outreach named him our “Rising Star” award recipient way back in 2011 when he was the communications director for the Nevada Policy Research Institute.
