[LetMyPeopleVote]

Attacking the judge who is considering a sanctions motion filed against you is not a smart thing to do. This will be fun to watch

Former Arizona Republican candidate Kari Lake reportedly deleted a tweet attacking Maricopa County Judge Peter Thompson.

According to the non-profit group AZ's Law, Lake deleted the tweet on Monday shortly after defense lawyers filed for sanctions against the former candidate and her attorneys following their unsuccessful attempt to overturn the 2022 election for governor.

"@KariLake has just deleted her tweet accusing Judge Thompson of having @marceelias 'ghostwriting' his ruling denying Lake's Election Contest claims," AZ's Law noted. "Her amplifying the baseless accusations was not good for her in the pending sanctions proceedings."

Lake's accusation amounted to "accusing @MarcElias (an atty in the case) of having an inappropriate ex parte communication with the judge."

1. Could she be held in contempt of court for that?

I’m not a legal expert but accusing the judge of basically committing ethics violations seems like contempt.

5. Consequences Would Be Nice nt

2. She should have stuck with being a news reporter.

I guess a taste of political power was too much for her ego to handle.

10. It's unbelievable

Just how much she destroyed her career and reputation, how epic of a failure this has been for her.

She could’ve kept all these crazy things to herself. Now, nobody within reason takes her seriously.

11. She made the huge miscalculation of turning herself into Trump just as people got sick of him.

She’s definitely not a “stable genius.”

Too little, too late has a positive side.

6. Wonder where she got that idea. (nt)

7. She is so persecuted.

8. I find her very creepy in what she thinks she can pass off as real.

Like we've gone beyond the reality show idiocy, and into just flat out fiction.

12. An error in judgment on Kari's part to tweet this while the judge is deciding on sanctions
