Following an Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry 2022 Gubernatorial Candidate Forum, where GOP candidate Kari Lake and Democrat Marxist Katie Hobbs, answered Arizonans’ questions, only one candidate was willing to talk to the media after the event and take direct questions.
MAGA Republican Kari Lake is strong, formidable and skilled in her approach toward the media. Lake’s use of the atomic sledgehammer of truth is almost unparalleled. In this brief soundbite she is questioned about becoming President Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate. Here is how she responded. WATCH:
.
The video of the full candidate forum is below.
Wonder what her plans will be 8 years hence?
did you mean 6?….that is when there will be an opening for POTUS
She said she plans on being Governor for the next 8 years. Her words, not the poster’s.
Oh I am sure she is sincere but I think she will go where needed.
She’ll break that glass ceiling … SHE … was supposed to break
She first needs to survive the Maricopa County vote fraud machine, no easy task…
Team Kari all the way!!🇺🇸
I like her, but be careful about building someone up in your head. She could just as easily be a snake like any politician.
It’s not hard to know the “right things to say”.
It’s just not typical for a decent person to get a crack at the governorship of a state. Decent people get squashed on that road.
Kelli Ward V.P. ? there are some good strong MAGA gals in Arizona.
No. Kelli Ward talks MAGA, she doesn’t walk it.
She cannot walk MAGA it until she is in office. She has vowed to take strong action to defend the border the moment she takes her hand off the Bible. We shall see if she “talks” with her acceptance speech first, or signs and executive order first. I believe she will do the latter, and order immediate implementation while she gives her speech.
Confusing Kelli WARD, our State Party CHAIR, with Kari Lake, candidate for Governor.
Kelli Ward IS MAGA, but AS State Party Chair, has to constantly watch her back, as the MAGA vs RINO battle within the State Party rages.
For instance, at the same State Executive Board meeting where they voted to censue Rusty Bowers, they “entertained” a motion to ask Kelli Ward to step down.
Get this, all; NOT because she was MAGA, but because some felt she wasn’t MAGA enough.
The motion didn’t pass (as it shouldn’t have IMHO) BUT it was a clear signal to Kelli, to go FULL ON MAGA.
I believe (although I have no inside knowledge) that she responded 4 days later at the Prescott Trump rally, when she said, from the podium;
“Vote for America First Republican candidates only,…and only vote for America First Republican Candidates!”
Its NOT that she didn’t WANT to say it and was forced to, its that she WANTED to say it for years, and needed encouragement that the RINOS would be powerless to use it against her.
SHE ran for U.S.. Senate, twice as MAGA before their was MAGA, and was defeated both times by RINOS in the party who actively worked to defeat her.
As State Chair, she could not “get out ahead of her skis” but now knows the State party is MAGA dominant, although there are STILL RINOS, they are on the run.
Reassuring. Thank you.
Oops, you are correct, Dutchman… I was confused. Thanks.
Interesting info, Dutch. I hadn’t heard that. And there is major nastiness in the party branches-Pima GOP is , well actually they remind me of Mitch, they prefer to be the minority and wage the noble lost fight. Ha.
I wouldn’t characterize her as MAGA before there was MAGA, although I supported her run against McCain. There’s just something about her that doesn’t ring true. In my opinion.
There are some here in Pima county that are plotting to see her go. Especially the staff for Jim Lamon and friends . One claims to be the self appointedMAGA leader and pissed that she backed the Trump endorsed candidates especially the America First conservative Blake Masters.
I think there is a very real and growing esprit de corps among MAGA / election integrity types that shows up through a courage to speak out issues that other on both the left and right dare not speak about. By taking the position that nothing happened in the 2020 election and that it is all a ‘big lie’ the Uniparty crowd is forced to avoid the most important political cause of our lifetime and grouse on the sidelines. At best, like cowards, they hope to trip up the people who are leading while collecting their 30 pieces of silver.
Dutchman, thank you. I have represented a CD on the MNGOP Exec Committee…(we had a $oro$ VinWeber McConnell chair but several of us mitigated the damage)…and I can confirm everything you said without being in the AZGOP meetings…💪👍
I enjoy your posts Dutchman. As an ASU grad in mid 1980s, I was always going to be a retired snowbird in Arizona in 2024 but the massive change in the political makeup in AZ over the last 20+ years forced me to change my snowbird destination to Florida. The interview posted feels like a breath of fresh air. I will send Kari Lake, our MAGA candidate for Gov in AZ, $50.00. Lets help her defeat the remnants of the Carpetbagger McCain and his disgusting strategy of massive, expensive, out of state donated Ruling Class $ for endless pandering television ads to persuade the AZ electorate to vote UniParty.
Arizona here too. I have known a very close associate of Kelli Ward. She is the real deal. MAGA and conservative always. She is great. She has done well in a difficult position with the RINO machine.
Kari Lake is a gift from God IMHO.
Bad feeling about her….
I feel ya.
I think we are all a little untrusting
after PDJT exposed sooooo many Rinos,
and we have seen the strings.
Lets be “cautiously optimistic “.
I pray she does go for higher office after cleaning out the filth of Maricopa County. I only hope she doesn’t come up too short under the flinty microscope of the treehouse qualifiers.
Strong 10th Amendment governors do hold higher office – to nullify unlawful, unconstitutional and seditious power grabs from DC. I hope we see more like her who wield it. DC will not, cannot, reform itself.
Yup, and a court case like recent EPA ruling, eviscerates Fed buerocracy regulatory overreach, goes directly to SCOTUS, and can’t be changed by next POTUS.
KL has said she KNOWS the Fed Gov will fight her border efforts, and she looks forward to it.
She gets in in November, and I guarantee her name WILL become a “household word” in short order, as I believe she has the authority, and will use it, to stop the border trafficing in short order.
People will be gobsmacked.
Fairly easy to pass muster with us Treepers….a) don’t stab us or our PDJT in the back. b) don’t take $ from the GOPe quislings to be their truckstop wh….uhhh fake maga candidate. c) don’t try to gaslight us by saying one thing in public, and doing another when it counts.–
Easy-peasy-lemon-squeesy
Alpha Female.
The next pandemic to sweep thru the MSM: LDS. Lake Derangement Syndrome.
pretty telling both KL and PDJT came from INSIDE the media so they have and intimate knowledge of its aims and how it attempts to achieve them
I believe what we people can see in Kari Lake is sincerity. It shines very bright in her aura, you can actually feel it. On another note. Hopium is so derogatory, tearing at one’s hope……. I have faith in her also seeing the atrocities, just as I have faith in all here. Be happy people have hope.
Sincere, that’s what she is, and genuine. It shines through like a beacon. Kari is giving a master class in how to run on a true policy platform. She’s underfunded so she knows she has to work harder than her opponent, which fortunately is easy to do when it’s Katie Hobbs.
Where is the full candidate forum? Thanks
Polished, comes off with alot of confidence.
I like her. The zingers and smart and polite- very hard to do (IMO)
First time I saw her way back when, I knew she was the real deal. She has it all…
She’s fantastic!
I’ll wait till I see how she does as governor before opining on her fitness for the oval office. She sounds great so far, but then, so many others have as well and turned out to be worthless.
She has no adpirations to the Oval (honestly, who would?)
She says First and Foremost she Hates Washington DC. that’s good enough for me!!
It’s time we began thinking like citizens of a Republic.
We have to put our governors’ and legislators’ feet to the nullification fire. That, along with the repeal of the 17th Amendment, will do far more to restore liberty than a new and improved King or Queen of DC ever can.
Its not so much “put our Governors and Legislatures feet to the fire”
As it is put, in office, Governors and Legislatures that are ON FIRE, to promote the MAGA agenda.
And, we do THAT by first putting in authority positions in the State Republican party MAGA PATRIOTS that are ON FIRE.
That way there are no “splitter candidates” to divide the MAGA vote in the primary. Without that, and WITH the “Swamp the vote, to defeat the cheat” strategy, which involves MASSIVE turn out, WITH vigilant monitoring and alarm sounding system for any MAGA voter suppression methods, our MAGA candidates WIN, even with a 10:1 campaign spending deficit.
Again, not having to hold Governors and Legislatures feet to the fire, putting in Governors and Legislatures that are ON FIRE for MAGA.
ITS HOW WE WIN
Here’s a link President Trump shared earlier this year asking for everyone’s helping making local, county and states more MAGA and less Establishment https://theprecinctstrategy.com
Please. Read it. Share it. Do it. And keep praying.
And for the last 60 DAYS of our 2022 election please do all you can to help us win as many battles possible. Leave it ALL on the battlefield.
#UltraNuclearMAGA
I believe it is precinctstrategy.com.
May I say be careful people you’re in swooning territory….and there has been entirely too much of that on this site over time, most of it to turn into huge disappointment. A friend used to repeat often “don’t fall in love with a politician because you’ll be disappointed every time”. He also said that the only way to look at a politician is down. Cheers.
Where is the video of the forum? Not showing up for me…
This as good as the question she got a couple of weeks ago about whether she thought questioning the 2020 election was divisive. It was an an excellent example of how each and every one of us should have confronted our enemies. I looked to see it posted here but no, it wasnt. She may or may not have a future in politics, we cant future cast but she knows how to fight. Not once have I seen ANYONE here or in any conservative circle sting like a bee in that KL manner. I stand with Kari Lake and DJT.
They have been throwing variations of that question at her, since she announced.
“Do YOU honestly believe the 2020 election was the most secure in history, really?”
was one answer, another was;
“If you really believe the 2020 election was the most secure in history, you should put down Hunters crack pipe!”
“So, Hillary was divisive in 2016, Stacy Abrams and Al Gore, too? Are they “Threats to democracy” for questioning election results?
If the election was indeed free, fair and secure you should WELCOME such inquiries. Only those who have something to hide object to a good hard look.”
She’s gor a million of em, and many are on her website.
*!AD-REM!*
Article says “the video of the full candidate forum is below.”
I find no such link, am I missing something, or is the article?
Thx.
the link is missing
Go to gateway pundit. It’s on there.
She’s a badass. She’s a winner because she understands every outcome is win or lose. As long as you do the right thing the loss is only temporary. God will prevail. Kari, we appreciate you. Thank you.
Indeed – and the enemy within is running a zero sum game. No compromise, no bipartisanship, no mercy.
There is no doubt Kari Lake is going to be a political star….a great conservative asset.
I would also point this out as a common quality of EVERY MAGA-Republican candidate (and there are MANY!)
Even if they ultimately lose the election, they are a WIN.
Simply by running in the primary, and exposing how their RINO opponent runs from debating them.
(KL isn’t the ONLY one. Lara Loomer actually brought out an empty suit and set it in the chair next to her, for her debate opponent was a no-show.)
They champion sincere, MAGA, in there campaign, raising OUR issues: Election integrity, Close border, Parental rights, no mandates.
And, if they win the primary, their Dem opponents for the General, just like their RINO comrades, refuse to debate them.
Still, again they RAISE THE ISSUES and POLICIES we wany heard and addressed.
So, even IF they lose in November, and some probably will, their campaign, in and of itself, is a WIN.
And, should they win in Nov., they are like a PDJT, MTG, or Boerner; by their actions, they compare and contrast expose or show up the Uniparty professional politicians, every day.
trump/desantis 2024
desantis 2028-2032
lake – 2032 – 2040
by then my clock would have likely run out, but those three people could make some difference if they can stop the uniparty
(if desantis can avoid the UniParty ‘event horizon’ and not get sucked into the DC black hole, he’s spiraling now in it’s gravity)
Bush was to Reagan, as, Pence was to Trump, as, deSantis would be to Trump.
SDee- 100%.
Obviously some people posting have not read Sundances multiple posts on the economic globalist deSantis. Best to remain in Florida.
NO NO NO to RDS now again….he needs to do his yeoman work as FL Gov…..not only can he NOT be VP since he is ALSO from FL but his recent forays into purchase by GOPe heavy hitters makes him suspect for any America First agenda
Perhaps after young Ron finishes his second term as governor he’ll use his Harvard law school education and JAG experience to win election as Florida’s AG.
After all, some state AGs are already becoming nationally known lawfare super heroes and creating alliances with other BDE state AGs.
These AGs are starting to successfully defend their citizens and state sovereignty from the DC and NWO Swamp demons with the help of a newly energized SCOTUS, thanks to Trump.
As Trump focuses on drastically reducing the size and power of DC, talented young people will hopefully realize that their home state is where the action is.
Hopefully more and more talented people will say “Its a Wonderful Life” because I decided to stay home and focus on those I know and love.
As Dorothy said after spending time in Oz, “there’s no place like home”.
#GuvRon #AGRon? #LawfareSuperHero?
Always puzzled to encounter people who want a push a promising 43 year old young man who hasn’t even finished his first term as governor yet away from his home and his state and into the vicious DC Swamp.
Why? What’s the big rush to get Ron out of Florida?
Perhaps motivated by the same casual cruelty that lead the bloodied hero in “The Gladiator” to ask spectators “Are you not entertained?” as men fought and died for their amusement.
AOC is a snotty valley girl compared to Kari Lake. When these two get in each other’s face, it will be a whooping worth watching.
AOC is a spoiled brat.
A programmed asset of the Luciferians
Our Government is now working full program to destroy MAGA. I have never seen our Government do anything anything so disgraceful in my life. I am sure they are working on a way to make Kari Lake into another evil insurrectionist. They fear her. They are using the system to go after everyone they fear. They are liars and they will all rot in Hell after they finish destroying our Country. This is just an opinion because I have no prior knowledge of what God will actually do.
But, the truth will always be undeniable, when it emerges.
And that’s how you do it when you aren’t a grasping career politician owned by the GOPe.
Beautiful Kari Lake is as smart and effective as a politician could ever be. I can’t imagine how she could possibly improve her style, her policies or her favorable persona. If the people of Arizona don’t give this impressive woman (or perfect candidate) an opportunity to “govern” their state, then they will have missed the greatest opportunity for state improvement in their generation.
P Trump’s style is also equally impressive but different as it has to be given the endless barrage of personal attacks including a home invasion and past Impeachments, the mass media’s vile propaganda and the countless AG litigations he has had to deal with. Kari is being viciously attacked by some but it is fortunately still not at the Trump level which is as vicious and corrupt as “it gets.”
Perhaps Lake sees that the future is in SD’s extreme federalism with the center of gravity moving to well-run GOP states.
Take away the first word”Perhaps” and I agree with your comment.
Abe Hamedeh is hopefully her A.G. and a sharp lawyer.
I love that she says she hates DC. I’m not sure she is or would ever be what we need in a President in terms of the work of draining the Swamp whilst taking all the hits from the Swamp which one will take, but her current attitude is refreshing. Time will tell whether she would be a good VP under Trump. May she be preserved from being bought & sold! Now, how nice it would be to hear this same contempt for DC out of other Republican Governors, you know, like DeS…
Total primary campaign expenditures
KL $3.5 million, Robson (Primary opponent) $30 million.
KL mostly small individual donations.
She won’t have any help $ wise, from the RNC.
do you guys use your heads?….KL is not even elected AZ Gov yet and you would already remove her to DC being UNTRIED to stand at the side of PDJT as the DS increases the tempo of their attacks
She is a Bad Azz, boy do we need more like her.
What makes the woman so dangerous to them is that she, being a journo herself, knows exactly how these people think — so she can cut through the b.s. like butter. This was a fantastic response. I don’t even think that I would have thought of such a coherent response to a loaded question like that.
Also as a Journo for all the years she was on fox 10 here in the Metro Phoenix Area. She was always articulate, genuine, fair and smart with her coverage. She will do well as a Gov, and we look forward to her doing so for 8 years. We need more lake to drain the swamp!!
Skilled
Not to be a party pooper; she’s not governor yet. You can’t trust the Dems anywhere, especially in Maricopa County.
Can’t trust Republicans in Maricopa County, either.
Trust God. Work hard. Let Him work with you and through you.
With God ALL things are possible.
Fortunately, Maricopa County Republicans =/= Goliath.
Perhaps “poop” less, by focusing more energy and time on the last 60 DAYS of our 2022 election proxy war between Trump and us and the DC psychopaths?
By doing everything you can do each day to ensure we win you won’t feel like “poop”, no matter what happens because you’ll know you left all you had on the field of battle.
She’s awesome
Every MAGA candidate should watch this Lake clip and take notes.
Kudos Kari Lake.
That’s how it is done!
Good Lord I love her! Sorry AOC .., I don’t hate women … and I especially love SMART women like Kari Lake
That woman is awesome!
All through American History, the refrain repeats, ‘Where do these Heroes come from?’
They Come Forward and always from the most unexpected places – it’s almost as if…
MAGA Kari Lake, setting the standard in Arizona. She will be the best MAGA governor in the country.
Lake is something else and will prove to be a powerhouse .
I absolutely love Kari Lake! She is a breath of fresh air, an amazingly smart and confident woman, a true role model. If I could vote for her I’d vote x10,000
Her response to the question is one of the best examples of ‘keeping your eye on the ball’ that I have ever seen. She did not allow the question to distract her. She knows who she is, she knows what she’s doing, and she keeps her eye on the ball which is applying for the job of Governor of Arizona. We need more like her. You’re a fortunate bunch, Arizonans! 👍❤️🇺🇸
#Karizona
She’s so prepared for the media’s high school newspaper questions. Her comms team must love briefing her up before these events.
I LOVE MAGA Kari Lake!! 👊👊👊
Kari is smooth and articulate. Let’s see how she governs before we deify her
Exactly. Right now she has great promise. We’ll see.
“Before we deify her”????
Who is this ” we” you speak of and why on earth are these people talking about changing Kari from a glorious human being into a god?
Favorite Keri Lake smack-down:
Reporter: “Do you think the 2020 election was stolen?”
Keri: “Do YOU think Joe Biden got 81 million votes?”
BOOOOOM!!!
Fun to use with friends, family, and people you meet as well!
Goes to show you how early the enemy sets its aim on good people like Kari Lake. She’s a future threat and they wish to take her out even before she’s elected for governor!
Telling that the reporter is essentially conceding the governorship (as Lake sharply pointed out) by placing her on the 2024 presidential ticket
Make no mistake about it, they wish to Palinize Kari Lake, but as many have pointed out, Lake worked behind the scenes of the media and understands how they generate their narratives and the thrust of their questions. She will navigate their tricks with ease and would make an excellent running mate to our lion, Donald J Trump!
She’s a worthy MAGA successor and perhaps this is not lost on Ron DeSantis, who may think that Trump may overlook him for VP in favor of Kari. If so, then he has all the incentive to perhaps mount a campaign for 2024, even with Trump running, if only to try to force his way on the ticket for party unity.
We shall see. Interesting times are ahead of us for sure. Prayers must be lifted up for our nation and great candidates such as Lake and Trump, who have the eye of Sauron seared upon them.
MAGA forever! Trump/Lake 2024!
Lake 2024 for Arizona.
De Santis 2024 for Florida.
Trump 2024 for DC and for US.
Kari Lake’s website
http://www.karilake.com
She was born in Illinois, reared in Iowa, and her parents have roots in Wisconsin.
That is a very polished, capable and professional lady. She handles the MAGA hating presstitutes like a lion tamer.
If she holds up, and I think she will, she is a perfectly acceptable alternative to Trump. Such a shame that people like her are in such short supply.
“Acceptable alternative to Trump”????
How can she be an alternative since she’s running to be Arizona’s governor for 8 years and neither Trump or any of his sons are unning to be governor of Arizona?
Are you future casting a primary 10 years from now where one of his son does throw his hat in the ring and she does too?
If so, please return to your present. It may be the last one given. Use it to help with the battles we face right now. Thank you. 😘
Yes!
I would vote for her for President.
SHe will probably be our first woman And first pick if Trump does not run 2024. I would vote for her over DeSantis. But I want her after Trump 202?
Kari Lake certainly seems to have the intellect, fortitude, and values to be a superstar of populist/MAGA politics.
If she can win the election (and hopefully a re-elect), and fights to keep her campaign promises in a Trumpian fashion, she is someone I would seriously consider supporting for President in 2032 or 2036 if the USA survives that long.
Eight years would see her leave the governor’s offcie just in time to regroup and begin the nearly two year grind towards a nomination and presidential campaign if needed.
Sort of depends where we’re at in 2028 after a 2024 Trump win. If they steal ’24, all bets and speculation are off, the country will not survive in recognizable form.
The woman is a machine, never misses a beat.
Arizona is lucky with Lake, she is direct and honest, no BS. Can we in the UK swap Truss for Kari Lake please
