Trump-Backed Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake Blasts Democrat Left Over Attacks On Free Speech

Kari Lake, a Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate in Arizona who spent 30 years as a newscaster in Phoenix, ripped the authoritarian left over the issue of free speech during an appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

As he introduced the segment, Carlson complimented Lake’s smart defenses of the First Amendment’s speech protections after she has been blasted by the election-stealing deep state and their Democrat lackeys for stating the obvious: Donald Trump was cheated out of another term.

Carlson’s point — and the larger point Lake has been making — is that whether such declarations are ultimately true or not (they are), the ability to offer up the possibility in the first place is speech that is supposedly protected by the U.S. Constitution.

“You’ve described the left’s hypocrisy, and you’ve described that old saying, when they’ve lost the debate, they resort to slander, and that’s what we’re seeing right now,” Lake said.
