TL/DR –
The article discusses Kari Lake’s recent interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, in which Lake dodged questions about her loss in the 2022 gubernatorial race and her stance on abortion. Despite numerous lawsuits, Lake has not accepted her defeat in the gubernatorial race, and continues to claim that she is the “lawful governor” of Arizona. The article suggests that Lake’s refusal to accept her defeat could potentially impact her current campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Kari Lake’s Unsuccessful Interview on CNN and Her Political Future
During a recent interview on CNN, Kari Lake avoided answering crucial questions, further damaging her political reputation. Rather than addressing her actions, she attempted to dig herself deeper into the political hole she has created.
Political Dodging: A Masterclass by Kari Lake
Lake’s evasion during her interview with Kaitlan Collins served as an example of the practiced art of political dodging. She continued to avoid addressing her stance on abortion, instead choosing to focus on unrelated issues such as the safety of New York City streets and subways.
Most concerning was Lake’s refusal to comment on the 2022 election. Despite numerous attempts from Collins to get a clear answer, Lake kept deflecting, focusing instead on her 2024 campaign.
Unheeded Warnings from GOP Leader
Jeff DeWit, former Arizona Republican Party Chairman, had warned Lake against running for the U.S. Senate so soon after her 2022 loss for governor. However, Lake ignored his advice and insisted on pursuing her political ambitions, leading to DeWit’s resignation.
Continued Election Denial Plagues Lake’s Campaign
Lake’s refusal to concede the 2022 election continues to haunt her campaign. Despite multiple questions from Collins about whether she lost the 2022 election, Lake avoided giving a clear answer, instead focusing on unrelated topics such as inflation and the cost of living in Arizona.
Despite her reluctance to discuss the 2022 election, Lake’s ongoing court case in an attempt to overturn the two-year-old election results continues to raise eyebrows.
Missed Opportunities and a Damaged Republican Party
Lake’s refusal to listen to DeWit’s advice and her continued evasion of crucial questions have undoubtedly hurt her political career and the reputation of the Republican Party. With the election only a week away, Lake’s actions have left a mark that may be difficult to erase.
