Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore (R), who is known for her fervent advocacy for gun rights and distrust of federal government agencies, lost her bid to join the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday.

Fiore came in a distant third place with 18 percent of the vote in the state's 3rd Congressional district.

The outspoken Nevada Republican drew national media attention earlier this year for her role in brokering the standoff between federal agents and self-styled militia members occupying a wildlife refuge in remote northeastern Oregon. Fiore said at the time that one of the occupiers who was killed in a shootout with federal law enforcement, LaVoy Finicum, was “murdered with his hands up,” even though authorities said that Finicum was shot when he reached inside his jacket toward his weapon.

Both during the Malheur Wildlife Refuge occupation and during the armed standoff against the Bureau of Land Management at Cliven Bundy’s ranch in 2014, Fiore emerged as one of the most prominent defenders of the Bundy family, whom she called “patriots.” ...............

6. Sharon "Second Amendment Remedies" Angle lost again, too.

8. Wasn't this the woman who tweeted a picture of kids holding AR-15s?

[IronLionZion]

10. Nope

Hopefully some gun humping asshole will inform us that the guns are not AR-15 but other models.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. No need. The fine print in pix details the guns. Who is Vernon Brooks?

[L. Coyote]

12. Her whole family armed on their Happy Holydaze card, little tikes and all.

Albeit, not everyone has an AR-15.

I endorse Donald Trump. It's time for this divided party to come together again.

Happy Mothers Day Mom, you're an incredible woman. I love you.

[keithbvadu2]

20. Come and take my rifle! ??? - Swap you a dildo for it.

[IronLionZion]

22. Dildos were sent to the Oregon militants

Since they looked lonely

[keithbvadu2]

24. Yeah! Michele helped plan the Oregon militia conquest of an unmanned refuge but

in her incompetence, she forgot dildos and snacks.

She lost this primary because the voters recognized that she is not a forward thinker.

[nruthie]

9. Excellent news!

[mountain grammy]

14. Will she go away now?

I hope.

[Iggo]

15. She'll probably get one season of a reality show, and then hopefully we're done with her.

[passiveporcupine]

17. Best news I've heard in awhile

[IronLionZion]

18. She should be Trump's VP

[L. Coyote]

21. Why didn't I think of that? Someone tweet these photos to @realDonaldTrump ASAP

Just maybe he'll do something impulsive, and make the call ....

[Judi Lynn]

19. Not ready for prime time, Assemblywoman. Stick with your own larcenous sociopaths. n/t

[askeptic]

23. It's still scary to think that 18% of that district's Republicans thinks she's alright!

But it is encouraging that 82% are not interested in Sara Palin wannabe's...

[L. Coyote]

25. Either that, or that's how many don't think.

Just being on the ballot gets you a percentage of votes by those who know nothing about the down ticket candidates.

[muntrv]

26. She'll have more time to play with the family's guns.

[L. Coyote]

27. DUzy. Can you make the meme?

[GulfCoast66]

28. Tell me if I am being stupid

So my job requires that a couple of times a year I take photos with people I do not know that well but are associated in a professional manner. You know, people coming up and a photographer taking a photo of each one. Would really like to expound but cannot.

Look how they are 'holding' her. Hell, I do not squeeze my wife of 30 years in such a possessive way in public.

About half of the people a get photographed with are female and I pose with them just like the men.

Am I being crazy?

[yellowcanine]

29. Good news is she has more time to visit the Bundys in jail.

[Kaleva]

30. She wanted to go to Europe to shoot Syrian refugees in the head.
