In Arizona, a Swing State Swings to the Far Right
yahoo ^ | 05/07/2022

Posted on 05/07/2022 4:26:47 AM PDT by devane617

Kari Lake has a strategy to get elected in 2022.

Keep talking about 2020.

Minutes into her pitch at the Cochise County Republican headquarters in the suburbs of southern Arizona, Lake zeroed in on the presidential election 18 months ago, calling it “crooked” and “corrupt.” She claimed nearly a dozen times in a single hour that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump, a falsehood that the audience — some of whom wore red hats reading “Trump Won” — was eager to hear. Lake, a former local Fox anchor who won Trump’s endorsement as she campaigns to become Arizona’s next governor, calls the 2020 election a key motivation in her decision to enter the race.

“We need some people with a backbone to stand up for this country — we had our election stolen,” Lake said in an interview after the Cochise County event in March. “I don’t know if it’s a winning issue, but it’s a winning issue when it comes to saving this country.”

Republicans in many states have grown increasingly tired of the Stop the Steal movement and the push by Trump to reward election deniers and punish those who accept President Joe Biden’s victory. At a time when Biden’s approval ratings are sinking, leaders in the party are urging candidates to focus instead on the economy, inflation and other kitchen-table issues.

We’ve been told there is a shortage of fertilizer. Yahoo “news” has stolen it; that’s why.

I love the fact that to the low IQ media, the silly modifiers only are applied to the “right”. True to tradition, the left loves to m*sturbate on the english language. Pronouns, etc. The sad thing is they keep getting away with third grade English.

Hmm, I gather from the article that the yahoos at Yahoo “news” will not be endorsing the next governor of Arizona.

Soon, yahoo news will report the maga doo doo heads are stealing the elections because they are watching too closely who counts the ballots.

Typical of the mentality and biases of Yahoo! and the New York Times. I’m surprised that Rick Newman and Maggie Haberman weren’t listed as co-authors.

“a falsehood”.

What an authority on the truth! Maybe Yahoo should change it’s name to YooHoo.

AGREED!

It would be informative, to those that care, to see a count of usage of the 'far-' modifier / adjective for this or most any other 'societal' web site! I find this usage, like that of 'racist', 'cis[whatever]' 'phobia' and 'extreme', a near exclusive tactic of the LEFT. It is abhorrent and antithetical to civil discourse at any level above that of the gutter!

Hopefully after the midterms, it would be BooHoo.

The election was stolen and the Big Steal was completely BIPARTISAN!

The Democrats could not have rigged it without the cooperation of key Republicans.
