Kari Lake Is Asked About Being Trump's VP and Her Response Is 24 Carat Gold
Reporters keep trying to catch her saying something poorly but Kari Lake refuses to get trapped.
Ever since Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake launched her campaign, corporate media has hounded her about her qualifications to fill the role. She has never held political office, never run an election campaign, and promises to enact policies that long-time Republican politicians refuse to entertain.
This is why it struck Lake as odd recently when a reporter for Phoenix radio station KJZZ asked her about being tapped by Donald Trump. Watch:
The reporter asked, "Kari, if Trump were to tap you for VP, is that something you would consider?"
There was zero hesitation from Lake.
"No," she said. "I hate... first of all, I don't like Washington D.C., especially don't like it now. It's funny, though, that the question was asked because for so long many of you in the media have been trying to act like I don't have the skills to run for governor. Now, apparently, I'm so skilled that you think I should be VP."
It's not the type of practiced response we normally hear from politicians when asked speculative questions. She sounds more like Trump or Ron DeSantis answering questions than life-long politicians who have canned replies to expected questions.
"I take it as a compliment," she said. "Thank you for asking."
Lake is battling Democrat Katie Hobbs who recently dodged a televised debate. Hobbs has avoided as many questions from the media as possible, opting to only accept "safe" interviews from media allies. Lake has hammered her for her absence.
She is one of a handful, that can make a difference...and even give us a chance to get our country back. However, she (or the others) will not do it in Washington D.C.
It annoys me to no end, that conservative pundits and talking heads are so myopic, on this point.
Those fools, continue to push De Santis on whether he will run, will you challenge Trump, will you be his running partner, would you ask him to be yours...??? Nothing like picking that low hanging fruit for clicks and viewership.
Kari, Ron and others, have more power and are less encumbered , as State Governors, than anywhere else. They can speak as they want, they can protect their citizens under the blanket of Federalism, and they can provide a road map and example, for other governors to follow.
Additionally, they give any conservative politician the ability to propose legislation, based on the trends they are seeing in the individual states.
If you have a Lake or De Santis in your state, urge them to stay put. As soon as they vacate that Governorship they lose all the power they had AND the left will steal the seat. You can bet they have plans in place, if big Ron is foolish enough to run.
If I lived in her state, Kari would have my vote and volunteer time, to make sure she won.
A true warrior and born leader.
