Republican Kari lake is running to be Arizona governor. It’s a bit of a crowded GOP primary field with six candidates, but Lake has been endorsed by President Donald Trump so that’s a big benefit to her.
Trafalgar Group gave her 12 points.

It’s possible that she just indulged in more self-indulgence on Thursday. Lake’s comments on CNN reporter Kyung Lah almost ignited the internet. Kyung Lah tried to get Kyung Lah an interview. Lake, who has worked for KSAZ-TV as a media specialist for over 22 years, demonstrated her ability to deal with CNN.

“I’ll do an interview with you… as long as it airs on CNN+, does that still exist?”

Lake referenced CNN+ — the streaming service that CNN invested a ton of money that was canceled just weeks after it launched as it failed to pull in viewers. “I’ll do an interview with you… as long as it airs on CNN+, does that still exist?” Lake said. You could see the look on Lah’s face when Lake said that, it was priceless. “I didn’t think so because the people don’t like what you guys are peddling which is propaganda. Thank you.” Boom. Talk about quick-witted, lighting them up and decimating them into the ground with a smile — that was it.
This earned her lots of praise.

While I sympathize with the reporter, how would they treat you? They’d selectively edit your interview, tell lies and even if you are nice to them, they’ll bury you at the first opportunity https://t.co/ydugyUYH0e

CNN has shown — over and over again — that they aren’t objective news, so it’s about time that someone told them so to their face. While they are trying to change things, they still have much to do in the eyes of many Republicans to get rid of the bias they displayed under Jeff Zucker.
There’s no doubt that this will help Lake out with the base who want to see Republicans who are willing to fight back and not go along to get along — like the 15 Republicans who caved on the gun control bill and helped pass it in the Senate.
