Kari Lake, Republican candidate for the Arizona Senate, confronted her Democratic rival Ruben Gallego at an airport, where she didn’t hold back in expressing her disdain for his handling of the migrant crisis. Lake made it clear that she believes the border is wide open and that both Gallego and Kyrsten Sinema have had more than enough time to address the issue. She even pointed out that Democrats themselves are upset about the situation.
Gallego tried to dodge the criticism by suggesting that the focus should be on finding ways for people to come to the US legally, but Lake hit back, stating that there are already plenty of people in the country. She further emphasized that the crisis is not just a political talking point, but a matter of life and death, highlighting the lives lost to fentanyl overdoses. Gallego attempted to de-escalate the situation by claiming that their conversation was civil, but Lake saw right through the smoke and mirrors.
She called out Gallego’s district for the issues it faces, including veterans not receiving adequate services, and made it clear that she has no interest in working collaboratively with him. Lake ended the conversation on a confident note, proclaiming that she will beat Gallego and save Arizona.
In recent news, Lake has been involved in legal battles regarding the 2022 election results. She has filed multiple lawsuits, alleging issues with malfunctioning election systems and improper signature verification. However, despite her efforts, she has not seen any success in overturning the results. In her latest appeal, she focuses on election issues in Maricopa County and presents evidence to support her claims of falsified certification and questionable planning. Lake is determined to fight for what she believes is right and will continue to pursue legal avenues to challenge the election results.
