Handcuffs, Twin Beds, and One Outrageous Debate Challenge

George Harris just issued what may be the craziest political debate challenge Nevada has ever seen.

He’s challenging State Sen. Marilyn Dondero Loop to a debate, and he’s letting her make almost ALL the rules.

She can pick the time, place, questions, moderator, and even how long each candidate gets to speak.

Harris says he’ll even debate in handcuffs, an orange prison jumpsuit, or lying on a twin bed!

There’s just one catch. Loop has until 5 p.m. on October 15 to answer.

And Harris has some pointed questions about her voting record he’d love to ask.

Read the full story and see just how outrageous this challenge gets.
