Former Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake said on Thursday that it would be a “big red flag” if any 2024 Republican presidential candidate did not believe her 2022 Arizona election was stolen.
“I ask you that every candidate who comes through — when they stand on this stage, when they’re shaking your hand, when they’re walking through town, taking your questions — that you ask them where they stand on election integrity,” Lake said at a local GOP event in Nevada, Iowa.
“And I think you should get even more specific, ‘Was the 2022 election for governor in Arizona stolen?’ And if they won’t say ‘Absolutely, yes,’ that’s a big red flag,” she added. “That’s a big red flag. Ask all of them.”
Lake lost the Arizona’s governor’s race to then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) by about 17,000 votes, according to the Associated Press. However, the Trump-endorsed candidate has refused to accept the results and has continued to challenge the election in court.

I don’t think Hobbs won fairly at all, just like Brandon didn’t win fair or square!
I voted for her twice (primary and general). Her primary opponent was pathetic - think Juan McCain in a dress and married to a billionaire. EXTREMELY establishment - father had been president of the AZ Senate.
Katie Hobbs did and does suck donkey dicks. She’s a disaster.
Lake screwed up big time by telling McCain supporters to get out of the party a week before the election. Bomb-throwing against Democrats is acceptable. Bomb-throwing against Republicans killed us in 2022! I’m bitter about Lake losing to Hobbs because Lake is 1,000 times better than Hobbs in every way.
But...the whole “election fraud” thing plays well with half the Republican Party and turns off the other 5/6 of the electorate. HUGE mistake by Trump and by Lake.
She’s right. Her election, and that of AG and SoS were all stolen in plain sight. And her opponent was in charge of the henhouse.
The lefties have learned how simple it is to steal an election: simply take charge of the largest city (or county) in a swing state and do the ballot sorting, counting, harvesting and manufacturing — behind closed doors, guarded by corrupt law enforcers. And that’s exactly what happened.
“Then I guess they hopefuls just need to shut up and go away if they don’t agree with Lake. “
Yes, precisely. This steal was so brazen and obvious if you don’t see it or worse want to help the MSM/rat narrative that Lake “is just a denier” you are unfit to be a candidate
trump/lake 2024...
whining instead of winning...
It’s not enough to say that there was election fraud?
You people who actually believe Lake “lost” because she offended the McTraitor gang are falling for MSM bs. I was in AZ during the election and saw it first hand. That bitch Hobbs used her office to steal the crap out of that race.
She should be careful making this into an Acid Test for purity. It’s rather self serving, for one thing.
It focuses on the past, is another.
Not every republican will share that same priority of issues.
Thank you. If the new tagline of the Republicans is “believe every time we lost its stolen or you don’t get my endorsement”, then you may as well pack it in.
The courts admitted HOBBS didn’t win... they just declared they didn’t see any intent of malfeasance...
So in other words, yea it was stolen, but we are going to say it was do so via incompetence not by intent.
Oh I don’t believe ever loss was stolen.
Oz loss in PA not because of Fraud.
Walker loss in GA not because of Fraud
Trump 2020, absolutely a stolen election.
Lake 2022 absolutely stolen.
You want to know what another big fat RED Flag is?
The people on this thread objecting to Kari Lake’s statements are DeSantis supporters.
Close to 70% of Reps believe the 2020 election was stolen, and with good reason.
desantis is winning while trump and lake are whining...
You mean the guy who kicked ass and won a purple state by 20 points?
Amazing how eager you guys are to embrace losers.
Trump won 18 of the 19 bellwether counties in 2020. He was the only sitting President to lose re-election when receiving more votes than he did the first time. He received 11 million more votes than 2016, an almost 18% increase.
Trump has received more votes than any Rep candidate in history and more than any sitting President. His 74/million is the second highest in history. Does anyone believe Biden received 81 million legal votes?
Anyone familiar with the 2020 election knows it was stolen.
Yes.
Here comes the "YOU DENY THAT THERE WAS VOTER FRAUD!"
No.
If they aren’t smart enough to fight the fraud they sure as heck aren’t fit for office. They’ll never make it there.
