'Do you need a timeout?' Journalist tells Kari Lake to 'grow up' after she calls Arizona a 'banana republic'

Arizona Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake, in a neck-and-neck race – although currently losing against Democratic nominee Katie Hobbs – is blasting the state she wants to run, calling it a “banana republic,” because not all votes have been counted yet. “Banana republic” is a racist, derogatory term.

One local columnist thinks GOP candidates complaining need to “grow up.”

“This is just an embarrassment. People of Arizona are just sick and tired of elections being run like some banana republic,” Lake, a Trump-endorsed ultra MAGA election denier who fully supports his “Big Lie,” said to Newsmax on Thursday.

2. Oh how trumpian of her! She's losing, so suddenly the state is a banana republic

3. To be fair,

Kari Lake is a Republican and is definitely bananas.

4. Tactics like the "Big Lie"

are the exact kind of shenanigans "banana republics" use in determining their elections. Add the Jan 6th attempted coup of our nation's government to that list, also. I have no doubt Lake supported that action along with the "Big Lie".

5. Kari Lake is modeling the conduct of her idol, TFG

She is acting as TFG would act

It will only be a 'banana republic' if she loses. If she wins the greatest lace on earth.

Laurie Roberts is now my new favorite journalist.

9. Why would she want to be a governor of a "banana republic?"

a pure Trumpista: policy is OK when I am the beneficiary, but fraudulent when I lose.
