Top Nevada Republican calls Black Democrat a 'hood rat' in 'hateful' social rant
Determined readers will have to click twice to view recent messages from a top Nevada Republican — she received X's rare "hateful conduct" content warning for calling a Black Democrat lawmaker a "hood rat" and a "ghetto rat."
Nevada RNC Committeewoman Sigal Chattah took to social media Tuesday as New Yorkers took to the polls for a hotly contested and highly funded primary that could cost incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman his congressional seat.
"This antisemitic ghetto rat that was dropping F bombs on stage at a rally last week living high off the teat of the government and whatever shakedowns they can make? We got some of those in Nevada too. Amazingly, they’re all democrats," she wrote.
Chattel, apparently unconvinced her message had been received, ranted against Bowman again in a follow-up post.
"I hope New York Dems send this hood rat back to wherever he came from," she added. "There’s no Section 8 housing in the House of Representatives-and New Yorkers should stop sending their DEI hires there."

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee allied super PAC has reportedly spent nearly $15 million on the primary, according to the AP's analysis of Federal Election Commission records.
"The cash paid for a torrent of ads attacking Bowman, who has accused the influential pro-Israel lobbying group of trying to buy the race in the mostly suburban district north of New York City," the report notes.
Chattah, an Israeli-born attorney who previously served on the Las Vegas Planning Commission, saw her 2022 bid for state attorney general derailed by scandal after leaked messages of her appearing to endorse the hanging of her Black opponent.
“This guy should be hanging from a [expletive] crane,” she wrote to a friend, who later leaked the message to sabotage her campaign. “He’s like the leader of [H]amas – making tons of money while the People in Gaza are starving.”
Former President Donald Trump endorsed her for re-appointment in March.
Chattah's messaging Tuesday was met with swift backlash from outraged readers who condemned her comments.
"Your racism is about a subtle as a brick through a window," replied X user Shawn Foss. "Just disgusting bigotry that should have no place in our politics/govt."
"What a disgusting racist thing to post," added X user Wavey Shore. "Shame on you."
