Dina Titus and Steven Horsford Exposed as Hypocrites on No Tax on Tips

July 31, 2025

In case you missed it, a new report accuses out of touch Democrat Dina Taxes and Steven Horsford for blatant hypocrisy after voting against President Trump’s popular “No Tax on Tips” initiative. Even their own union allies are now praising it as much-needed relief for workers. Looks like political games matter more to them than Nevada families.

“Even Democrat union bosses are admitting the truth: No Tax on Tips delivers real relief for Nevada’s workers. But radical Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford still voted against it. They’d rather see Nevadans struggle and put petty politics over commonsense solutions, and now even their own allies are exposing just how out of touch they really are.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez

Dina Titus and Steven Horsford Exposed as Hypocrites on ‘No Tax on Tips’ as Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Takes Center Stage in Las Vegas
The Nevada Globe

Last week, Las Vegas once again found itself at the center of national economic policy as the House Ways and Means Committee brought its field hearing to the Silver State to spotlight President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, a transformational piece of legislation that delivers sweeping tax relief for working families, small businesses, and especially Nevada’s service workers.

But while Republicans showcased real solutions and support for working Nevadans, Democrats were left scrambling, caught between their own rhetoric and the political reality that they all voted against this very policy.

In a moment of rare honesty, former Culinary Workers Union President Ted Pappageorge, now serving as secretary-treasurer, undercut his own party while praising the No Tax on Tips provision during a Democrat-led rally against the bill.

“It was actually a rare bipartisan effort… It produced a tax credit for tip earners and much needed relief for workers,” Pappageorge said. Except – it wasn’t bipartisan. Not even close.

Every single Democrat, including Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford, voted against the bill. While Republican lawmakers were fighting to put money back into the pockets of Nevada’s workers, Nevada’s Democratic delegation voted to keep taxing their tips.

“Even Democrat union bosses are admitting the truth: No Tax on Tips delivers real relief for Nevada’s workers,” said NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez. “But radical Democrats Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford still voted against it. They’d rather see Nevadans struggle and put petty politics over commonsense solutions, and now even their own allies are exposing just how out of touch they really are.”

Even Titus admitted to Punchbowl News that selling the message is tough: “Yeah, we want no tax on tips, but we don’t want it capped. Or yeah, we want no tax on tips, but we don’t want it sunsetting… That’s always harder. They say in politics, if you’re explaining, you’re backing up.”

Translation: We’re trying to have it both ways and voters aren’t buying it.
