TFG's candidate for Arizona governor says she would not have certified the 2020 election results

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Arizona Governor candidate Kari Lake, the Republican who recently received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, said she would not have certified the 2020 election results in the state. Trump lost Arizona by over 10,000 votes.

Speaking to the far-right outlet One American News Network, Lake told host Natalie Harp that she would not have certified the 2020 election results. Lake has routinely echoed Trump's baseless claims of election fraud.

"Considering how much already at the time information we had about serious irregularities and problems with the election, I would not have certified it right then," Lake said. Election results are normally certified by the secretary of state, the governor, and other state officials.

During the interview, Harp claimed the election results certified by Ducey "weren't accurate" - a claim that was partially proven true this month after a Republican-led election audit found that Biden actually beat Trump by a few hundred more votes in Arizona than previously thought.

I don't believe any governor has the right to veto the results of an election. She's as stupid when it comes to civics as the orange blob is.

1. And she outs herself as part of the cult

2. This kind of crap scares me to death!

This isn't what the USA is about. Elections should mean something, like the 2020 election did. We voted TFG out of office.

3. Another Traitor NAZI for Drumpf

Call her what she is.

5. Exactly. American Fascist Party.

4. Democrats need to spin this as "Lake doesn't believe in democracy..."

"even representative democracy. And any Republican who supports her is saying the same. Belief that our counties, states, and nation can hold fair elections is the defining issue of our time, and Lake is in the wrong side of it."

[GoodRaisin]

7. Except it isn't spin.

She should be referred to as the fascist candidate.

6. This is absolutely terrifying.

I never thought I would live long enough to see Fascism destroy our democracy.

I might have been wrong.

8. The good news is that many Freepers don't trust her and is just saying what people want to hear

A statement put out by Matt Salmon, who a number of Freepers prefer, another candidate for AZ governor:

"“The clear fact remains that Kari Lake isn’t a conservative or even a Republican, and she certainly isn’t the MAGA candidate in this race. She is a former registered Democrat who donated to Barack Obama and John Kerry, who refused to support Republicans, and who gushed over Dr. Fauci as he destroyed the president’s booming economy through perpetual lockdown, the severity of which she mocked. While conservatives worked to secure our borders, Lake supported weak, open-border liberals like Joe Biden. While conservatives called for stronger election integrity, Lake promoted the insecure practice of voting-by-phone because, at the end of the day, she simply does not get it.

“We’ve seen time and again that Lake can’t be trusted and isn’t being honest about who she is or what she’s done.

“She is a lifelong member of the liberal media who knows how to put on a show, and she will parrot whatever convenient political slogan is on the teleprompter in front of her to get ahead. She has smeared President Trump as ‘vulgar’ and ‘offensive’ and admitted in late 2016 that she was ‘not supporting’ him. There is no doubt in my mind that Lake would betray President Trump and Republicans writ large the moment things get tough, just like she has done so many times in the past.

“Over the course of this campaign, Lake will be revealed for exactly what she is: a fraud.
