Arizona Democrats Launch “Where In The World Is Kari Lake?”
New Series Highlights How Kari Lake Is Everywhere But Arizona
ARIZONA -– Since launching her campaign a month ago, Kari Lake has been everywhere… but Arizona. In the weeks between October 10th and November 10th, Kari had eight identifiable public appearances since her launch, with only two taking place in Arizona. In a new series, the Arizona Democratic Party will ask (and answer) the question, “Where In The World Is Kari Lake?”
This weekend, it’s West Palm Beach, FL for #Walk-A-Con’s 5th Anniversary where Lake will host yet another book signing. The event is organized by Brandon Straka, a Pro-Trump influencer sentenced to three years of probation for his participation in the Capitol riot.
Previously, Lake’s limited time in Arizona included two events alongside fellow conspiracy theorists and extremists.
- On October 18th, 2023, Kari Lake attended her first in-state, post-launch event, alongside “Anti-Semitic Oathkeepers Charter Member” State Senator Wendy Rogers and State Senator Justine Wadsack. Rogers has been censured by the state legislature for “conduct unbecoming” when she gave a speech calling for the public execution of Democrats. Both state senators appeared on an antisemitic talk show this week.
- On October 20th, Lake attended the Arizona Federation of Republican Women Convention alongside election denier Abe Hamadeh, U.S. Rep. Eli Crane who supports abortion bans and called to decertify the 2020 election, and U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs who backed a judicial ruling that “could ban all abortion nationwide.”
Lake’s six out of state events showcase her continuing extremism:
- In Las Vegas, she attended CPAC’s Save America Dinner alongside noted conspiracy theorists Ken Paxton, Steve Bannon, Robert Malone, and Kash Patel, showing she still holds the same fringe conspiracy theories and dangerous ideas that led to Republicans ‘freaking out’ about her ‘nightmare’ Senate candidacy.
- Headlining a gala in Lubbock, Texas just days after Republican Lubbock county commissioners passed an ordinance seeking to prevent women from crossing state lines to access abortion care, alongside County Commissioner Jason Corley who voted in favor of the ordinance, and anti-abortion extremist Mark Lee Dickson– which shows she continues to support dangerous abortion bans with no exceptions for rape or incest.
- Lake was in Palm Beach for the premiere of Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary, “Police State”.
- Lake headlined the Colorado GOP’s 2023 Centennial Dinner in Loveland, CO.
- Lake went back to Las Vegas to the Ahern Luxury Boutique Hotel for an ‘Inside Scoop’ event and to record an episode of Steve Bannon’s War Room.
- Lake signed books and stumping for Donald Trump at his rally in Hialeah, FL.
Kari Lake is jet setting all over the country– but she’s not spending any time with the people she’s running to represent.
