ARIZONA -– On Oct 9th night’s “Arizona Senate debate was a complete disaster for Republican candidate Kari Lake.” Kari claimed she “she wants to protect ‘UVF,’” she “[dodged] election question” about her failed gubernatorial run, and “showed Arizona why she’s just not all that likeable.”

Watch for yourself:

Ruben Gallego: Will you finally tell the people of Arizona, did you win or lose that election?

Kari Lake: Can we – can I talk about water?

Kari Lake: I want to make sure that UVF is protected. I have many friends who are here, they’re my friends today because of UVF. And I have many of my friends who have had children and experienced the joy of motherhood and parenthood because of UVF. 

Ruben Gallego: And then when she was disappointed to find out that the 1864 law again, the one that had no exceptions for rape or incest, was not going to get enforced, she said well, I hope the sheriffs will do their jobs. Can you imagine —

Kari Lake: That’s not true. 

Chuck Coughlin: This is who she is. And I think that is her personality. I think it’s worn thin on a bunch of the electorate who wants more.
