Democrats Attack Lake as ‘Extremist.’ 2024 Republicans Flock to Her
RCP ^ | Oct 4 2022 | Philip Wegmann - RCP Staff

It is a busy week for Kari Lake and for Republicans who harbor White House ambitions. Several are more than eager to share the stump with the Arizona gubernatorial candidate, a fact that Democrats believe underscores their arguments about the “ultra MAGA” right and the rise of GOP extremism.

Tuesday morning in Scottsdale, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem will have coffee with Lake and her supporters. The next afternoon in the Phoenix suburbs, Lake will share the stage with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Former President Donald Trump arrives Sunday to host a rally in the town of Prescott Valley.

Some have already stumped for Lake, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in August. Others have promised they will, like Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, but haven’t yet put a date on the calendar.

“Why is it a surprise that Republicans are helping Republicans?” a Noem spokesman asked RealClearPolitics before getting a plug in for the candidate: “South Dakota is proving that freedom gets results, and Kari Lake will bring the same principles to Arizona.”

Trump was key to getting Kari Lake nominated over. Pence-backed nonentity. I wish Trump had spent his first term promoting MAGA stars like Lake instead of endorsing RINO backstabbed like Sasse. But he’s learned his lesson and the second Trump term is going to be powerful

For America’s Communist Party anyone to the Right of Stalin is a Far Right Extremist.

“ But he’s learned his lesson and the second Trump term is going to be powerful”

The second Trump term is going to be bloody warfare, every single day all over the country.

I am not against that…I believe it has to happen as the only way to have even a tiny chance to save even a semblance of this country. But everyone should understand our political and governmental elite will not relinquish power without bloody warfare and fomenting mayhem and destruction across the country. Everyone needs to understand the second Trump term will be the greatest conflict this country has seen since - and maybe even including - the first Civil War.

The Sunday rally is in Mesa, not Prescott Valley. There was already a rally in PV in July. But I’ll take another rally here.

Democrats attack EVERY opponent as “extremist.” I guess “racist” lost all of its power from overuse.

Why didn’t they attack Lake as an “Ultra MAGA Insane Kooky Extremist Who’s A Danger To Our Democracy”? Maybe they are holding that in reserve for next week.

Any Republican who can beat a Democrat is immediately labeled “an extremist.”

We need about 5,000 more just like her across the entire USA.

I was just going to post the exact same thing.
That’s why DeSantis is the new Satan.

The further left the left goes, the more they scream normal people are extremist.

Their frame of reference changes drastically because they are mentally warped. The normal people are still the same as they always have been.

Here in Pennsylvania, Democrats have been running essentially the same ad against both Oz and Mastriano calling them “too extreme for Pennsylvania”. It’s become funny. And ineffective.

Calling your opponent "an extremist" is a sort of one-size-fits-all general accusation. It's just a generic label the left-wing media can try to hang around any Republican's neck. If nothing else it can buy time, while the Central Liberal Hive Mind comes up with a more nuanced accusation.

The Left has gone so radically far to the left that just being a normal American is now "extremism," from their point of view. There are plenty of left-wing pundits in the MSM who will have no problem with that label, and who can be counted on to pick up the ball and run with it.

I suppose one way to counter the "extremist" label is to make campaign commercials showing the most newsworthy Democrat positions (BLM, ANTIFA, the riots of 2020, transgender "girls" in girls' locker rooms, etc.), and then a female voice says "and [Dem candidate] calls [GOP candidate] an extremist!"

LOL! Every American who opposes the anti-American Democrat Party is, ipso facto, an “extremist”!

True, and everyone who wants to save the Republic and ensure the welfare of themselves and their family will not hesitate to join with others who are ready to hit the streets, and do whatever is necessary to defeat the Democrat-Communist zealots seeking to destroy America.

YES! She’s the most intelligent and hard-hitting woman to appear on the political scene in years. She’s got the attitude that perfectly interfaces with President Trump and his MAGA agenda. I always advise to look for the candidates most hated by the ‘rats and do whatever you can to support those candidates.
