ADP Statement Ahead of Kari Lake’s CPAC Gala Appearance
ARIZONA -– Ahead of Kari Lake’s appearance at CPAC’s Save America Dinner on Saturday alongside noted conspiracy theorists Ken Paxton, Steve Bannon, Robert Malone, and Kash Patel, Arizona Democratic Party Senior Communications Advisor Olivia Taylor-Puckett issued the following statement:
“Kari Lake’s appearance at CPAC alongside fringe conspiracy theorists shows she still holds the same fringe conspiracy theories and dangerous ideas that led to Republicans ‘freaking out’ about her ‘nightmare’ Senate candidacy.”
Kari Lake’s fellow speakers include:
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton who faces felony securities fraud charges, is under FBI investigation, and is being sued by a disciplinary committee of the Texas State Bar due to his baseless attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
- Promoter of election denialism and calls to violence, Steve Bannon.
- Former medical professional turned COVID conspiracy theorist, Dr. Robert Malone, who has been described as “extraordinarily dishonest and morally bankrupt.”
- Kash Patel, former Trump aide, who was “entangled” in Trump’s Mar-a-Largo documents case.
