BEWARE: Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Interview of Kari Lake Is So Dumb and Ridiculous You Might Lose Brain Cells

Kari Lake has crawled out from under her rock again to appear on Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Rumble show this week to talk about the voter fraud that never really happened when she lost the race for Governor in Arizona to Democrat Katie Hobbs.

“What they did was sabotage Election Day,” Lake said, telling Guilfoyle that “our people” (MAGA cultists) were appearing “in droves” leading voting officials (Democrats in Lake-speak) to bung-up the voting machines, resulting in Lake losing the election.

The MAGA-loving, drag-queen-hating Republican claimed (citing neither sources nor evidence, of course) that 75 percent of Arizona voters cast their ballots for her, but 61 percent of voting machines were “shut down” or purposely botched by Democrats, Queerty reports. Perhaps aping her idol, Donald Trump, she contended this resulted in 250 million ballots being “spit out” incorrectly.

“Unbelievable” Guilfoyle muttered.

Guilfoyle probably doesn’t understand that she’s correct, in a sense, because that ballot botching by the Democrats never happened, despite whatever misinformation Lake likes to console herself with.

This interview was a true meeting of the numbskulls. And Lake’s claims are truly, 100 percent unbelievable.

Like the former president before her, who, along with some of his allies, filed at least 50 lawsuits that were all dismissed by state and federal judges, Lake has lost one court battle after another, with a number of different judges finding that her assertions lacked merit.

This even includes last month when Arizona’s Supreme Court rejected her request to hear her case after it was dismissed by lower courts due to lack of evidence.

“The Court of Appeals aptly resolved these issues,” wrote Chief Justice Brutinel in March, noting that the “petitioner’s challenges on these grounds are insufficient to warrant the requested relief under Arizona or federal law.”

Lake lost the Arizona Governor’s race to Hobbs by 17,000 votes last November and it now appears she’s planning to run for Arizona’s U.S. Senate seat.

And there’s definitely some unpleasant news surrounding that—a recent poll of likely Republican voters gives her a 28-point lead over her nearest rival for the Arizona GOP nomination. That’s led Alex Nicoll, her rapid response director to note in a statement that “One thing is for sure, you haven’t seen the last of Kari Lake.”

Ugh.
