Republican Arizona gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake called for “firing” the federal government on Tuesday over the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida. .
The former president announced Monday night that the FBI raided his home in Florida, reportedly in connection with an investigation into the potential mishandling of 15 boxes containing classified documents that were allegedly taken to his private home.
Lake, who Trump endorsed during her primary race, condemned the FBI and the federal government over their alleged attempt to “take down ” Trump in a statement posted to Twitter.
“This is one of the darkest days in American history: the day our Government, originally created by the people, turned against us,” Lake’s statement said in part. “This illegitimate, corrupt Regime hates America and has weaponized the entirety of the Federal Government to take down President Donald Trump. Our Government is rotten to the core.”

“We must fire the Federal Government. As Governor, I will fight these Tyrants with every fiber of my being. America—dark days lie ahead for us. May God protect us and save our Country,” the statement concluded.
Republican politicians and media figures have sharply criticized the FBI’s raid on the former president’s home. In a statement announcing the raid, Trump called it “prosecutorial misconduct,” stating he had cooperated with all of the relevant government agencies.

“It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024, especially based on recent polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and Conservatives in the upcoming Midterm Elections,” Trump said.
Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara, warned on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that the Department of Justice and FBI have been weaponized and politicized against conservatives, urging viewers to “think about what they could do to you.”
At least defund the bass turds.
Our Government, originally created by the people, turned against us.
Tyranny
Agreed. The federal government is the enemy under either party but it is critically dangerous under democrat party control.
She is right on the money!
Kari Lake thinks being honest and telling it like it is will get her elected! That’s different!
Que the Chuck Schumer “Six Ways to Sunday” comment.
And refreshing.
this will prove a successful meme. Ask voters how each of the federal agencies have performed. All the way down the line they’ve failed.
Analyze for yourself. Off the top of my head.
Biden & Co—encouraging inflationary & recessionary policies beautifully
FBI-crooked, 2 tier system of justice
IRS-coming for us since we resisted Obama/Lois Loerner’s first scare tactics
Dept. of Health-Fauci/Covid
Homeland Security—seen the border lately
DEA-ditto, fetynal deaths
EPA-trying to ban the air we breather
Dept of Education-CRT/1619/fascist parents
Dept. of Defense—still stuck on genderng ID
That’s just off the top.
Now watch the Deep State attack Kari Lake with an FBI investigation and raid.
Being such, it's the #2 enemy of our government. The people are the #1 enemy of the government. It's the job of the media to distract the #1 enemy while the government wages war on the #2 enemy. Once they crush #2, #1 is snuffed out without a whimper.
She’ll be swatted soon
“She’ll be swatted soon”
I suspect that Lake’s security guys are ready for this.
The fed gov was created by the people on day one and they enjoyed the fruits of labor for 100 years or so, then it started to go sideways. The fed gov today was created by the people but it was corrupted and grown by insiders who use and abuse taxpayers and some weaponizing over the years. Obama took it to a new level with weaponization of many departments. What you see today is out of control tyranny.
Kari is right. We need 1000 more like her.
A good start would be for governors and sheriffs to tell the federal “law enforcement” agencies that they must work with and coordinate all “raids” and other activities that are planned within their states and counties. Non-compliance by the feds would result in their arrests.
So are we in the 2nd civil war or the 2nd revolution or both?
Send State Troopers to evict Federal agents from field offices. Make it a crime for state or local law enforcement to offer even the slightest support to any Federal law enforcement agency within the state.
Out of control tyranny indeed Biden and teem are feeding it as fast as they can.
LOTS of things will be fixed IF the FIB is DISASSEMBLED. They were ALSO involved in the 2020 election theft, among other things.
The DICTATOR'S PERSONAL GESTAPO must be DEFUNDED.
Please add the Dept. of JustUs that ignores the laws they break and misapplies them against those in the right.
