Lake, a former Fox 10 Phoenix anchor, held a joint press conference focused on law enforcement with Arizona’s Republican nominee for attorney general, Abe Hamadeh, at the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association.
“A lot of people of color feel like they are unfairly targeted by police. Are they wrong to feel that way?” a reporter asked Lake. “And regardless of if there’s any merit there, what can you as governor do to improve the perception of police?”
BIG MISTAKE: Reporter claims People of Color are "TARGETED" by Police@KariLake: “Every Arizonan wants safety & security in their neighborhood. It doesn’t matter what your skin color is.”@AbrahamHamadeh: "Do these these brave Men & Women look like racists to you?"

“I talk to people of color. I talk to all Arizonans. They’re all concerned about the crime,” said Lake, adding:
Every Arizonan wants safety and security in their neighborhood. It doesn’t matter what your skin color is. And if you look at stats, you will look and see that police do not target people of color. That is a lie that’s been perpetuated by the left and then spread and disseminated and re-spread in the media.
Another reporter followed up by asking the gubernatorial candidate if she does not “believe that’s an opinion a lot of people of color have?”
“I don’t,” she responded. “I think you guys find one or two people, three of four, and they’re activists oftentimes, and then you spread that narrative.”
She then challenged reporters to go into minority neighborhoods and ask residents, “Do you want fewer police? Do you want to defund the police?'”
