If there were a gold medal for hypocrisy, Congresswoman Dina Titus would be standing on the podium, hand over heart, basking in union cheers – while stabbing her own staff in the back.
For years, Titus has strutted around Las Vegas like she’s the patron saint of organized labor.
She’s marched with picket signs, toasted with union bosses, and raked in those sweet 100% AFL-CIO ratings.
She’s like the girl at prom who swears she loves her date… until the cameras go away and she keys his car.
Here’s the reality: When her own office staff tried to unionize – like she publicly cheered them to do – Titus turned into the Mean Girl of Capitol Hill.
According to the Nevada Independent, five former staffers said Titus didn’t just frown on the union effort.
She went full scorched-earth. Held a retaliatory staff meeting. Imposed new restrictions. Made life so miserable that the union vote they won ended up going nowhere fast.
This should come as no surprise.
Years ago, when a former staffer had the nerve to speak up, she reportedly left a voicemail with all the warmth of a desert cactus: “I’m not happy,” she snapped.
Short and sour, like her coffee – and her temper.
And let’s not forget her reaction when her district was redrawn after the 2020 census.
Did she act like a grown-up elected official, grateful to serve any voter in any zip code?
Nope. She dropped the f-bomb – multiple times – complaining that she got “f***ed” by her own party. Real stateswoman stuff.
This is the same Titus who lectures the rest of us on fairness and worker rights. The same Titus who rails against “toxic workplaces.”
Maybe she learned the term by looking in the mirror.
Here’s what the union push in her office was really about: staffers wanted a basic handbook, salary transparency, and the ability to work from home… wait for it… one day a month.
They weren’t asking for a yacht and a corner office. They just wanted what Titus claims to fight for every time she takes a selfie with the Culinary Union.
But once the spotlight dimmed, so did her support.
Now, in her usual holier-than-thou tone, Titus says she “welcomed a union” and blames “disgruntled” former employees.
Classic move – when all else fails, blame the help.
She says jobs in her office are hard and she has high standards. Great.
But when those standards include yelling, berating, and potentially asking staff to work on her campaign for free – Houston, we’ve got a problem.
Titus is a career politician who loves labor… as long as it doesn’t cost her control.
Her staff? Just pawns in the “do as I say, not as I do” chess game she’s been playing since the Reagan administration.
If a Republican pulled this stunt, the media would have a bonfire on the Capitol steps.
But since it’s Dina – queen of double standards – the union brass just shrugs and stamps another 100% rating on her report card.
Here’s a thought: Maybe voters in Nevada’s 1st District are finally ready to send her the same message she left on that voicemail – “We’re not happy.”
After all, if you want to act like a tyrant, don’t expect to be treated like a queen.
