Kari Lake, a former journalist now running for the Republican Party’s nomination to be the next Governor of Arizona, has promised to complete unfinished portions of border wall in her state, even if it means building on federal lands in defiance of Joe Biden.
Lake made the remarks during an appearance on Tim Pool’s podcast, and later uploaded an excerpt to her Twitter account. “Is Joe Biden going to send officials in to arrest a sitting Governor,” wrote Lake. “Try me.”
“Now we’re seeing a crisis,” Lake said in the interview. “First of all, we need to sue the federal government for failing to protect us, and while that lawsuit is working its way through the system, let’s go down and start building the wall,” she explained. “We have many, many miles of Arizona state land we can be building it on, and let’s finish these little gaps.”
“They’re coming through a funnel where there’s a gap in the President’s wall,” said Lake, “And it is on federal land, but let’s build the wall anyway, what’s Joe Biden going to do? Arrest a sitting governor? I mean honestly.”
Pool asked if Lake thought Biden would, and Pool’s cohost suggested that it was possible. Lake said she would welcome such a development if elected.
“I would welcome that challenge, because he’s failing at his duty,” said Lake. “The federal government is failing us in Arizona.”

This woman would go a long way to erasing the stain of John McCain and his fat girl
Kari Lake has donated to Obama, supported Merrick (sp) Garland , been a Dem, Independent and now Republican.
IMO, chameleons make lousy leaders.
Now that we know that mail-in ballots from any state are ok in any other state, I’ll probably vote for her 25-times... /s

BOL!
I'm not a Constitutional expert, but this looks like a great use of the 10th Amendment. There is no doubt that Biden has failed to enforce this nation's immigration laws, paving the way for States to step in the breach.
I'd sure like to see it attempted. It's really down to Texas and Arizona. You won't see it from California or New Mexico.
Her husband did that donation.
She grew up a conservative, in 2004 she got pissed at Bush at donated to Kerry, in 2012 supported the Republicans again.
Turns out she was right and we were wrong about Bush.
Definitely not NM. That idiot tejano governor and administration is sucking so hard at the federal teats that that can never afford to unlatch. That sanctuary state has invited all illegals in en masse to bolster the money coming in from the feds. Then they siphon off what they want for their personal gain.
New Mexico ranks as the state most dependent on the federal government. Money from the federal government makes up 42.74% of the state's government revenue, and federal funding is 1.63 times the amount collected in income tax.
DAMN STRAIGHT!
Eff Brandon!
One problem with this is that the people at risk of prosecution are the workers, not political leadership.
What difference does a wall bake when the front door is wide open?
According to the Constitution The States Own The Federal Government.
Was Kari Lake right about Dems and Obama? Good try, but you failed to convince.
The whole idea of “Federal land” is unconstitutional. States need to sue to regain control of all of the land within their borders. But especially border states.
I’ll believe it when I see it. So many politicians talk big and act small.
As good a use as any for the infrastructure money.
thanks for that info. Is she still married to that jerk?
Ronald Reagan had a similar evolution.
You must be a Kari minion. She has said she is like Reagan. It is a talking point. Has she rescinded her support of obama and Garland?
Arizonans will get another Ducey type if she wins.
Nope. I'm uncommitted at this point. Just pointing out a fact for consideration.
