U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, an incendiary election denier who was a local T.V. anchor but gave that up to lose the Arizona gubernatorial race, was confronted by a British journalist who didn't fall for the loser's bullying tactics. Emily Maitlis had the receipts every time Lake opened her crazy-time mouth.
"Donald Trump has talked...about the need for a new tone in politics, a civility in politics, a kind of unity," Maitlis said. "What does that mean to you?"
"I actually think the tone has always been good," Lake insisted. "I believe that what we're trying to push is a strong economy, secure borders. These are policies everybody wants."
"You don't think the tone in America in politics got out of hand?" Maitlis asked.
"I think the tone is really disturbing when the media is calling a man like Donald Trump Hitler," Lake said of her hero, who said he wanted to be a dictator on day one. "They're comparing him to Hitler."
"Like J.D. Vance, does he mean?" the reporter asked.
"Like the media is doing. But J.D. Vance was probably, like many Americans, they listen to the media," Lake said. "And for eight years, the media has been tearing President Trump apart. A good man who everybody loved before he ran."
Fact check: False. Trump was one of the most divisive Presidents in U.S. history, and I loathed the man long before he got into politics, you weirdo.
