White Christian Nationalist and MAGA\QAnon election denier “Krazy Kari” Lake made a pilgrimage to insurrectionist traitor Trump’s home in exile in Mar-a-Lago to make a speech like her boy Donny did to incite a violent seditious insurrection on January 6, 2021. Is “Krazy Kari” hoping her unhinged MAGA/QAnon supporters will do the same here in Arizona?
Mediaite reports, ‘They Messed with the Wrong Bitch’: Kari Lake Vows Retaliation Against ‘Evil Bastards’ She Claims Stole Her Election:
Kari Lake vowed retribution against the “evil bastards” she says stole Arizona’s gubernatorial election from her in a speech at former President Donald Trump’s Florida club and home [in exile.]
A video obtained by The Republican Accountability Project and shared on Twitter showed a snippet of a Thursday speech Lake delivered at Mar-a-Lago. In the video, Lake decried what she implied was a successful effort to rob her of an election victory last month.

“We just had such a huge movement going into election day, so to watch these people – these evil bastards,” Lake said to applause.
“Can I say that here, is that alright?” she continued. “To watch them steal this in broad daylight, and if they think they are going to get away with it, they messed with the wrong bitch, ok?”
The crowd gave the comments a warm reception.
Lake, a former TV anchor, lost her election to Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs by 17,000 votes. She has filed a legal challenge in court but the race has been certified. Lake has accused her state’s election officials of rigging the election for Hobbs.
She has also refused to concede the race and has filed a legal challenge that could drag out for months. KPNX reported:
Hobbs, the Democratic secretary of state, is scheduled to take the oath of office as Arizona’s governor on Monday, Jan. 2. Lake lawyer Bryan Blehm, who was the attorney for the Cyber Ninjas’ partisan election review last year, had asked the judge for a three-day hearing on Lake’s election claims.
Hobbs’ attorney warned during Tuesday’s court hearing that dragging out the case could cast a pall on the January inauguration.
So what is “Krazy Kari” Lake going to do? Fly around the courthouse on her broom and skywrite “Surrender Katie”? Will her winged monkeys in the MAGA/QAnon cult show up at the court house armed and prepared to intimidate and threaten the judge and the media circus likely to be present?
Or is her plan to have her MAGA\QAnon fellow cult members in the Arizona legislature try to disrupt the Inauguration on January 2 and “install” her as Arizona’s “Dear Leader” instead?

At what point do a losing candidate's comments cross the line into threats? https://t.co/Mo7aRxz5Gr

To quote her, that “bitch” be Krazy!
Huffington Post reports, Trump-Backed Election Loser Kari Lake Hints At Violence At Conservative Gathering:
Former television newscaster and failed Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake hinted at violence to a crowd of thousands of conservative activists Sunday, continuing her claim that she had really won last month.
“On Nov. 8, they committed highway robbery,” she said, to chants of “Kari! Kari!”
Lake, who has sued elections administrators alleging fraud, called the Maricopa County elections system a “house of cards” that she promised to take down. “I’m not just going to knock that house of cards over. We’re going to burn it to the ground,” she said. “They messed with the wrong woman. They messed with the wrong movement, of ‘we the people.’ And we’re not going to take it anymore.”
She then told the crowd that the Second Amendment – the right to bear arms – was in danger because of current leadership, and that that amendment protected all the others.
“You do not steal our vote and get away with it. You don’t,” she added.
Lake, borrowing a tactic of former President Donald Trump, attacked the news media, urging the audience to turn around and boo the “mainstream media” on a riser.
“Their days are numbered,” she said.
It was unclear whether she knew that the people she was insulting were actually a production crew for Turning Point USA, the event organizer. [Ha! Ha!]
Lake spent much of her remarks claiming the election had been stolen from her. “They had to steal our vote in broad daylight,” she said. “My pronouns are by the way: I won.”
* * *
Exit polling across the country found that many independents and even some Republicans, while unhappy with high inflation and President Joe Biden’s leadership, voted against GOP candidates who pushed Trump’s false election claims.
That key fact, however, appeared not to have made an impression on Lake or any of the other speakers at Turning Point USA’s conference.
On Monday we could have both “Krazy Kari” Lake’s frivolous lawsuit dismissed and the January 6 Committee issue criminal referrals to the DOJ for Donald Trump and his Coup Plotter co-conspirators. Christmas comes early this year!

The Hill reports, “Kari Lake calls for imprisoning Maricopa County election officials”, https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3780237-kari-lake-calls-for-imprisoning-maricopa-county-election-officials/
Defeated Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake called for Maricopa County election officials to be “locked up” on Sunday as Lake gears up to contest her opponent’s certified victory in court hearings this week.
Speaking to a crowd of
young conservatives[Hitler Youth] at Turning Point USA’sAmerica Fest[Fascist Fest], Lake discussed her election contest at length, repeating unproven allegations about both the 2020 presidential election and Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs’s (D) victory last month.“These people are crooks, they need to be locked up,” Lake said of Maricopa County election officials, after listing off a series of largely disproven claims about election fraud.
Lake on Sunday compared her challenge to the Founding Fathers fighting against British tyranny, repeatedly naming Benjamin Franklin and others as she said their blood is “coursing through our veins.”
“They were fed up with tyrants, and they weren’t going to take it anymore,” Lake said. “I think we’re right there, right now, aren’t we?”
Maricopa County and Hobbs, in both her capacities as secretary of state and as a gubernatorial candidate, asked a state judge to dismiss Lake’s election challenge.
Oral arguments on the motion are set for Monday, and a two-day trial is scheduled for later this week if the case moves forward.
It seems that Sinema’s announcement about leaving the Democratic Party would be welcome news for Krazy Kari. If she were smart and really wanted to be in AZ GOPpolitics she would start to walk it back on her “stolen election” and focus on Sinema’s senate seat in 2024. She only lost to Katie Hobbs by 17K votes which seems incredible given how unqualified she is to be a governor.
Maybe she figures that she promised her folks a show and she’s now obligated to give them one.
But right now it looks as though Sinema is going to do whatever she can to make sure the Democrats don’t win her Senate seat. Given how close Lake was in the governor’s race, it certainly appears to be an opportunity.
