Former Las Vegas councilwoman Michele Fiore is a convicted felon. Her rise and fall was due to her need to look pretty for the cameras, pose with firearms and fight for MAGA. |
Michele Fiore was known back in 2014 when she supported far right extremists Cliven Bundy and Ammon Bundy in their standoff against federal agents from the Bureau of Land Management in Nevada.
She openly called for an armed resistance against BLM and urged others to join.
Fiore, a former Las Vegas city councilwoman and state lawmaker, was convicted of six counts of federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, KLAS-TV in Las Vegas reported. The weeklong trial in U.S. District Court in Nevada began last week.
Each count carries a possible penalty of 20 years in prison. Fiore, who has been suspended without pay from her current elected position as a justice of the peace in rural Pahrump, Nevada, will be sentenced Jan. 6. She will remain free while she awaits sentencing.
Her attorney, Michael Sanft, said Fiore will appeal the conviction.
Federal prosecutors said at trial that Fiore had raised more than $70,000 for the statue of a Las Vegas police officer shot and killed in 2014 in the line of duty, but instead spent the money on plastic surgery, rent and her daughter’s wedding.
“Michele Fiore used a tragedy to line her pockets,” federal prosecutor Dahoud Askar said.
FBI agents in 2021 subpoenaed records and searched Fiore’s home in northwest Las Vegas in connection with her campaign spending. Sanft told the jury that the FBI’s investigation was “sloppy.”
Fiore, who does not have a law degree, was appointed as a judge in deep-red Nye County in 2022 shortly after she lost her campaign for state treasurer. She was elected in June to complete the unexpired term of a judge who died. Pahrump is an hour’s drive west of Las Vegas.

The 54-year-old served in the state Legislature from 2012 to 2016, making headlines posing with guns and her family for Christmas cards. She was a Las Vegas councilwoman from 2017 to 2022.
I remember Chris Hayes caught her off guard. Fiore was flaunting her busty body and it caught notice.
Fiore is perhaps known for dressing attractive while bolstering firearms.
She also said some racist things about former president Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris and George Floyd.
Other MAGAland Milfs include Jenna Ryan, the convicted Texas realtor who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) who once owned a restaurant and wore a pistol on her hip. She also is a carpetbagger and controversial do nothing. One of the many insufferable members who face a tougher challenger. Even though she moved to another district, her opponent is well funded and is hoping for an upset.
Winners and losers of 2024.
Two more months to go.
