Kari Lake was prepared today for the media to ask her if she’s an election denier, of course in reference to the 2020 election.
And, like always, she threw a bunch of facts about election deniers into their faces. It was glorious.
Watch:
Let's talk about "Election Deniers."

Here’s an even better angle with decent audio:
Lake responded to the question of her being an election denier by pulling out a sheet of 150 examples of Democrats who’ve denied elections.
Most notably, she pointed out that Hillary Clinton was one of the biggest election deniers claiming that Trump was an illegitimate president after he beat her in 2016.
She also showed them that Joe Biden’s own press secretary claimed in 2020 that Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Stacey Abrams. In fact the tweet still exists:
Reminder: Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams.https://t.co/ZIKGTd6U1v

Her point was clear. Democrats get a pass from the media on their election denying efforts but Republicans get grilled about it constantly, as if it’s only wrong when Republicans do it.
So if they are going to insist on grilling her about it, she’s going to insist on educating them on their refusal to do true journalism. And she’s going to do it like a boss.
