WATCH– Kari Lake Blasts Reporter over 2020 Election Question: ‘You’re Supposedly a Journalist’
Breitbart ^ | 2 Sep 2022 | NICK GILBERTSON

Posted on 09/03/2022 10:10:34 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Kari Lake, the Republican gubernatorial nominee in Arizona, blasted a reporter who asked if former President Donald Trump was “dividing the country” “by falsely telling people he won” the 2020 election.

The question came during Lake’s press conference Thursday following President Joe Biden’s speech, in which he called MAGA Republicans a threat to America.

“You say you feel like Joe Biden is dividing the country, but do you feel like Donald Trump is doing the same by falsely telling people he won that election when he lost it?” the reporter asked.

“How does that divide the country? Questioning an election where there are obviously problems is dividing the country? Since when can we not ask questions about our elections?” Lake, a former Fox 10 phoenix anchor, asked the reporter. She continued:

As a journalist for many years, I was a journalist after 2016 and I distinctly remember many people just like you asking a lot questions about the 2016 election results. And nobody tried to shut you up. Nobody tried to tell Hillary Clinton to shut up. Nobody tried to Kamala Harris when she was questioning the legitimacy of these electronic voting machines to stop.

We have freedom of speech in this country and you of all people should appreciate that. You’re supposedly a journalist, you should appreciate that. So, I don’t see how asking question about an election where there are many problems is dividing a country. What I do see as dividing a country is shutting people down, censoring people, canceling people, trying to destroy people’s lives when they do have questions.

True.

Embarrassing yes, but not necessarily personally, depending on the man in question.

The shortcomings that make it necessary for strong, strident women to rise to our support are those of certain men among us, namely, effeminate men, sinful men whose God-given intellects have gradually become drastically darkened.

Men without chests, as has been said.

Yes! And did you notice how positive she was?

She could have admonished the guy by saying something like, “you should be ashamed.” Instead, she said, “you should appreciate that.”

She knows how to speak in a constructive way. Her words could destroy, but she uses them encouragingly, intelligently, and with great confidence.

She knows the gifts God gave her... and along with them, the grace.

An inspiration to us from the voice of a potentially great leader!

When the FBI and Zuckerberg admit attempts were made to hide Hunter Biden’s illegal and inappropriate activities, and 80% of us believes it affected their vote, it’s damn well past time to call out election fraud for what it is.

TRUMP WON THE ELECTION.

And say it unapologetically. The Biden administration is a fraud. How can anyone say otherwise ? They can not. Shout it loud and proud.

“Journalist” is a term that is used very loosely in this country these days.

Remember Hillary saying this:

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. And we should stand up and say ‘We are America,’ that we have a right to disagree with any administration.”

Reporters are not journalists; comics are not humorists.

Lake is very quick witted without any bitchiness. She’s impressive.

Kari Lake disproves the lie that men are threatened by confident, strong women. What men are put off by is exactly what you refer to: women who aspire to leadership who come across as angry, shrill, bossy, unlikable, and, yes, bitchy. She has the wit, the charm, the eloquence, and the gravitas that does not alienate the average man.

I’d love to see her debate Katie Hobbs, but Hobbs wants no part of it. It’s pretty clear what she’s afraid of.

Didn’t Rush play that once in a while? Maybe to remind us of what we avoided.
