Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake spent two minutes berating the media about “election deniers” after taking questions from the press at one of her Black Voices For Kari “Ask Me Anything Tour” stop.
Lake visited Phoenix where she and Jack Brewer discussed her upcoming race.
Lake stopped for questions after her speech when she was asked about claims that she is an election denier. Lake whipped out several pages of “research” done by a 20-year-old named Anthony highlighting all the times Democrats have denied election outcomes.
“You did better research than half these people,” Lake said to Anthony before turning her attention toward the gaggle.
“Let’s talk about election deniers, here’s 150 examples of Democrats denying election results,” she said, holding up the papers. “Oh wow, look at this, this is from Joe Biden’s press secretary: ‘reminder, Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams,’ a Democrat saying that, an election denier!”
“Oh look at this, ‘just heard Republican Ryan Costello said it would be difficult for Stacey Abrams to win because she lost her state bid, but she’s still claiming she never lost.'”
“Hillary Clinton: ‘Trump is an illegitimate President’,” Lake said as she held up a copy of The Washington Post’s reporting on the former Secretary of State.
“So it’s okay for Democrats to question elections but it’s not okay for Republicans? It’s crock of BS, everyone knows it, we have our freedom of speech and we’re not gonna relinquish it to a bunch of fake news propagandists,” Lake said before offering everyone copies of the research.
Lake refused to answer Sunday whether she would accept the election results of her race if she loses. (RELATED: Tulsi Gabbard Endorses Kari Lake For Governor Of Arizona)
“I’m going to win the election and I’m going to accept that result,” Lake said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Lake also has claimed the 2020 election was rigged against former President Donald Trump.
During a June debate she also said that Biden “lost the election and shouldn’t be in the White House” and that the election was “corrupt.”
