TL/DR –
Kari Lake, who has been selected by Donald Trump to run the Voice of America, has allegedly been spreading a report that calls for the arrest of Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs for refusing to cooperate with Trump’s mass deportation plan. This report is from Gateway Pundit which is known as a far-right source for conspiracy theories and sensational, but often unreliable news. Lake, who could soon be in charge of the Voice of America, a media operation that reaches an estimated 354 million people worldwide, has been encouraged to use more reliable sources.
Kari Lake amplifies call for arrest of Arizona Governor
Kari Lake, Trump’s choice to head the Voice of America, is spreading a report that a key Trump official is calling for the arrest of Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs.
Lake promoted to her 2.4 million followers a report that incoming “border czar” Tom Homan is suggesting that Hobbs should be jailed for refusing to cooperate with Trump’s mass deportation plan.
Lake wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in response to Gateway Pundit’s story. “I encourage @RealTomHoman to play hardball.”
Tom Homan didn’t post what Kari Lake retweeted
Conradson’s report is based on a comment posted on the social media account of “Tom Homan – Border Czar Commentary and News.”
The account states it has “no affiliation” with Homan. The actual @RealTomHoman’s social media account does not call for the arrest of Arizona’s governor.
This is who Trump wants to give us ‘reliable’ news?
It could be that Homan will call for Hobbs’ arrest. He has warned that mayors who don’t help with Trump’s mass deportation efforts could face criminal charges.
Meanwhile, Lake may soon be running the Voice of America, tasked with being “a consistently reliable and authoritative source of news.”
