Election Denier Kari Lake Wins Nomination in Arizona Election She Said Was Rigged
After spreading baseless
claims of election fraud in the Arizona gubernatorial primary, Republican Kari Lake has won her party’s nomination. The Donald Trump-backed candidate and former FOX 10 Phoenix anchor defeated real estate developer Karrin Taylor Robson, who received
endorsements from former Vice President Mike Pence and current Gov. Doug Ducey and
invested $15 million of her own money in the campaign. Lake, a steadfast proponent of the Big Lie, had been the
frontrunner, building her campaign around Trump’s stamp of approval—and the support of election deniers like Rep. Paul Gosar, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and My Pillow’s Mike Lindell. Lake campaigned on election conspiracy theories, anti-immigrant and pro-border enforcement rhetoric, and her repudiation of the very media that gave her a platform.
Lake announced she was running for governor three months after ending her 22-year career with the Fox affiliate. In a
video making her resignation public, Lake said she no longer approved of the direction journalism was going and that media needed more balanced and diverse viewpoints. “Not everyone is dedicated to telling the truth, but thankfully many of you have figured that out,” she said. “I promise you: If you hear it from my lips, it will be truthful.” She has continued to
call the media the “enemy of the people” and appeared in a
campaign video smashing televisions while vowing to take a “sledgehammer to leftist lies and propaganda.” Her
conversion from TV personality to media-basher seemed to be a strategy intended to turn a “potential liability with Republican voters to an asset,” as Melanie Mason
writes in the
Los Angeles Times.

this fine piece of maga trash right here won her election, so i'm sure that this trumpanzee will cut out the maga virtue signalling and have no issues with the results anymore. she can continue on promoting her horse paste and hydroxychloriquine as miracle covid cures or whatever while she cries about propaganda and fake news. nope nope no fraud to be seen here anymore. totally free and fair! it was only the 2020 election that was stolen. and perhaps even 2024 as well if the guy i want to win doesnt win!
"if we win, its fair. if we lose its rigged." the new election strategy for the repugs. don't want to lose rank in your party and have anybody know that you're a sore loser and all. just blow your fraud whistle. don't even bring the matter to court. why not? after all, it worked the first time, and the chuds still believe in it while they throw their money at you.
but its real cute watching them pucker up to cheeto benito and start blowing their fraud whistles at everything, even in the GOP's own elections. interesting, i thought it was only the dems who cheat and rig elections. unless of course you've been sucking donald trumps cock for the last couple years just to try to appeal to his chuddy little base. now even the republican elections are rigged, so long as its not the maga trash that wins!
blowing their fraud whistles is simply just going to be a way of life for these anti-democracy sacks of shit.
