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

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.

...a falsehood that the audience — some of whom wore red hats reading “Trump Won” — was eager to hear.

The use of the word falsehood is an unsupported assertion. What evidence does Yahoo offer to support their outrageous claim that the election was NOT stolen?

Why is Yahoo pretending that the election was not stolen?

Why is Yahoo claiming that people with common sense and judgement are suddenly "far right?"

Yahoo is not news and their writers can’t string two sentences together with any continuous threat of thought.

“Republicans in many states have grown increasingly tired of the Stop the Steal movement and the push by Trump to reward election deniers...]

Wrong, it’s those of us that watched Trump’s run away victory on Nov 3, 2020, leading by hundred of thousands of votes, only to have the counting stopped and the absentee (mule-carried0 ballots inserted.

We’re not increasingly tired of identifying the steal, we’re increasingly tired of law enforcement, bureaucrats and the courts turning a blind eye to this massive fraud scheme!

A scheme that will not stand. In order for a fraud to succeed, it must remain concealed.

This fraud is revealed.

The steal is undeniable.
Everybody knows that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Tthe push back otherwise is predictably apparent in origin and just goes to be expected.
Yes folks, the steal is real.
period

The corrupt media is treading a very fine line... On the one hand, they have a narrative that they are trying to maintain regarding the 2020 election. On the other hand, they don’t want to ask pro-Trump candidates about it because they will get a litany of undeniable proof that there was tampering. This will be fun!
