Arizona Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake is hitting back against the media’s hypocrisy on election integrity, and she is not pulling her punches.
At a press conference Friday, one reporter asked Lake, “You said you feel like Joe Biden is dividing the country, but do you feel like Donald Trump is doing the same by falsely telling people that he won that [2020] election when he lost it?”
Lake countered by asking why questioning an election should be considered divisive.
“I was a journalist after 2016, and I distinctly remember many people just like you asking a lot of questions about the 2016 election results,” the former news anchor noted. “And nobody tried to shut you up. Nobody tried to tell Hillary Clinton to shut up. Nobody tried to tell 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.”
She continued: “I don’t see how asking questions about an election where there were many problems is dividing a country. What I do see dividing a country is shutting people down, censoring people, canceling people, trying to destroy people’s lives when they do ask questions. Last I heard, we still had the Constitution. It’s hanging by a thread thanks to some of the work some people in this area have done. But we’re going to save that Constitution and we’re going to bring back freedom of speech. And maybe someday you’ll thank us for that.”
Lake’s remarks followed a sinister speech from Joe Biden Thursday night during which he attacked “MAGA Republicans” for questioning the 2020 election results, asserting that they represent “an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.”
Naturally, the speech was not received well by conservatives, with many likening the scene to something out of Nazi Germany.
One such viewer was Tucker Carlson, who mocked Biden’s assertion stating, “Yeah. ‘They’re a threat,’ says the guy with the blood-red Nazi background and Marines standing behind him.”
Meanwhile, another viewer noted that the date on which Biden chose to deliver his speech also holds a historic link to WWII, tweeting: “Fitting that Biden gave a Hitler style speech last night on the 83rd anniversary of Nazi Germany invading Poland kicking off WW2.”
The speech left a bad taste in many mouths, but only time will tell whether that flavor will linger long enough to impact the midterms.
THE RIGHT STUFF
The Lake Effect strikes again!
TRUMP/LAKE
Marry me.
Yeah - her press conference after the speech was good.
She took a few antagonistic questions like that.
But some reporterette kept calling her name and Kari wouldn’t acknowledge her.
“Anybody else have a question? The gentleman over there?”
“Why won’t you let ME ask my question!!??”
“Because I don’t want to. Anybody else? Yes - you sir...”
This woman’s running for the wrong office. Trump — as good as he is — isn’t this good…
““I was a journalist after 2016, and I distinctly remember many people just like you asking a lot of questions about the 2016 election results,” the former news anchor noted. “And nobody tried to shut you up. Nobody tried to tell Hillary Clinton to shut up. Nobody tried to tell 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.”
THANK YOU!! FIIIIIIIIINNNNNAAALLLY A REPUBLICAN BRINGS THAT UP! Dammmit!!Freakin Republican party allows this crap go on and not one has brought up the hypocrisy. And we’re talking about a HOAX HERE! Russia collusion! The Clinton crime machine snaps its fingers and immediately gets a over the top ridiculous 3 year investigation while Trump is immediately shut down I AM SO SICK OF IT!!!
the only way Kari doesn’t win is if the cheat is so massive as to be un-hideable. And she will call it out and refuse to be muzzled
And yet it was Trump’s support being a major factor in her winning the gubernatorial primary, against the RINO Uniparty big-money fraud machine and Karrin Taylor-Robson.
Lake’s words here also imply her support for Trump as POTUS, showing her knowledge of what side her bread is buttered on.
.
Is it a Raid or an Indictment in her future?
.
Add her to the list of great Trump picks jerks were trying to derail early on. So glad she pulled through.
Careful now.....there’s a lot “Mitch, the master tactician” lovers on FR. You might upset them.
"A lot"?
Name one.
A very good find, RF. This is the January 6, 2017 Electoral College vote count.
"On Jan. 6, 2017, the Democrats planned -- to the minute -- a challenge of every single state's slate of electors, and they executed their plan to the letter, with longtime Leftard Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) objecting right out of the gate to Alabama's slate of electors, citing "direct Russian election interference via hacking the election software of VR Systems".
McGovern's challenge was immediately followed by challenges from Marxist fellow travelers Raskin, then Jayapal, then Sheboon Lee, then Grijalva.
The problem with 2020 is that the fraud was so patently clear, Dems will not allow the slightest question concerning vote integrity, labeling those who question 2020 as “insurrectionists” and “a threat to democracy.” The volume of their objections is proportional to the volume of vote fraud and manipulations spent to oust Trump in favor of Brandon. Those chickens will come home to roost bigly.
Why can't a Freeper try an hour livestream on Rumble daily, have other Freepers on here and there to bolster the message with facts and neatly dissembling the Libtard #Narrative of the Day? It would only take breaking one 'spiked Clinton story' -- a la the method Matt rode the comet on the formerly-great-now-debauched-Douchereport -- to attract enough serious conservatives to sell overpriced vitamins, use the money to expand to a second hour.
Blay & Cuck's contract runs out next year, and Premiere would sacrifice a goat (or maybe Cuck in a goat costume) to find the next Rush.
