Kari Lake on Katie Hobbs: “This Woman Is a Monster”
J.D. Rucker • Aug. 24, 2022
There are many lies circulating about Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and her incredible debate challenge for Democrat opponent Katie Hobbs. Lake offered to let Hobbs pick the moderator. She even offered to let Hobbs write the questions. But thus far, Hobbs and her corporate media backers have made excuses and turned unhinged attacks against Lake to diffuse the awkward reality that Hobbs is dodging the debate.
Lake went on Newsmax to discuss the situation. In her trademark no-holds-barred style, she unloaded on Hobbs. Watch:

"Twice convicted"? As in convicted in criminal court? Or is this hyperbole?
-
Man that woman is a rhetorical howitzer. Were all GOP candidates like that.
-
In looking at Lake's website, her primary focus is the border.
It would seem that she'll need to expand that a little.
At least at the top of the page.
She addresses more issues further down.
But if you don't get down there, you'll only see border issues.

Convicted in a civil court, and it cost the AZ taxpayers $2.5 Million.

She's not bad to look at, either. If I may say so.

Thanks! Arizona Senate Staffer Who Was Discriminated Against By Former Boss Katie Hobbs Wins Lawsuit
https://arizonadailyindependent.com/2021/11/11/arizona-senate-staffer-who-was-discriminated-against-by-former-boss-katie-hobbs-wins-lawsuit/ (https://arizonadailyindependent.com/2021/11/11/arizona-senate-staffer-who-was-discriminated-against-by-former-boss-katie-hobbs-wins-lawsuit/)
This week Talonya Adams prevailed in federal court against the Arizona Senate, for the second time. And while most of the attention has rightly focused on the former legislative policy advisor’s tribulations, some observers are finding the lack of comment by Adams’ former boss and current Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, concerning.
On Wednesday, the federal jury’s unanimous verdicts were announced in favor of Adams on claims of retaliatory firing and racial discrimination. The verdicts came with an award for Adams of $2.75 million in damages, although a federal judge will reduce the award due to a law capping damages in federal discrimination lawsuits.
It was the second time Adams, who is a Black female and an attorney, represented herself in front of a jury regarding her 2015 termination which came after Adams provided the Senate Democratic leadership with documentation that she was paid about $30,000 less than colleagues of similar experience. Those colleagues were white and male.
In 2019, a federal jury awarded Adams $1 million along with a court order which required the Senate to give Adams a job. The Senate leadership then challenged the verdict, leading to the recent trial and a significantly larger monetary award.

Yes it is. Katie Hobbs is dead wrong on all of them, and a lot of people are still pissed off about her role in the 2020 election. That's also why I think Adrian Fontes is going to get creamed by Finchem.

1. She can't be wrong. I see her more like Joe Biden.....clueless. She's not smart enough to be wrong. Her puppet masters certainly are wrong.
2. Well, there are a lot of people pissed off about a lot of things about the election. So I don't see her having an upper hand there.
What I do see in Lake is a strong-willed individual. She comes across confident and in control.
Hobbs sounds like a frigging eighth-grader.

She is a box of rocks. If she was used car trade-in she would be sent straight to the crusher. No salvage value. Just pay her by the pound as scrap.

Story: Arizona Supreme Court rules in favor of keeping ‘anti-dark money’ initiative on the ballot (https://www.azfamily.com/2022/09/20/arizona-supreme-court-rules-favor-keeping-anti-dark-money-initiative-ballot/): The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled to let an initiative appear on the November ballot that would provide greater transparency to Arizona voters, letting them know who is funding their campaigns.
The “Voter’s Right To Know Act” requires any group spending more than $50,000 on a statewide race or $25,000 on a local race to discuss who’s funding them. Arizona’s Family previously reported earlier this year that conservative groups failed in court to block the proposition from going to voters. ...

All y'all called this one.
But......Hobbes has the full support of the Dem Fraud Machine she created with Fontes. That cuts both ways, because "the folks" are fed up with this crap. May even overcome the cheating in Maricopa. :2popcorn: :shrug:

I don't like this, at first blush. Probably won't like it later, either.
Nope, not at all.
ETA: Text of Prop 211:
ARIZONA PROPOSITION 211, THE CAMPAIGN FINANCE SOURCES DISCLOSURE INITIATIVE
A "yes" vote supports requiring that persons or entities that make an independent expenditure of $50,000 or more on a statewide campaign or $25,000 or more on a local campaign must disclose the names of the money's original sources, which would be defined as the persons or businesses that earned the money being spent.
A "no" vote opposes requiring that persons or entities that make an independent expenditure of $50,000 or more on a statewide campaign or $25,000 or more on a local campaign must disclose the names of the money's original sources.
Nope.

Watched this tonight.......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwZ9h6DnvRU
She's very clear in her statements. She is very confident.
She is pretty level in her delivery (All those years before the camera certainly help her).
Hobbs is a disaster in front of a camera and her puppet masters must know it.
I'll bet they're pretty concerned too.

RCP has Lake at +1.0 !!!
Looking good !

You'd only buy if you were looking for tin..foil.

So????
Do we have the painful, hurtful news ?
I really hope not.
Lake is carrying the day without acting like a rabid dog.
She's confident.
Her tone is leveling.
She sounds likes she's got issues in front of her.
I am liking what I am seeting.

Great Interview:

She's not as strident as she was during the primary.

Did she say two hundred fifty six signers of the Declaration?
My hearing isn't as good as it once was.
(It's only 56, actually.)

Hobbs is worthless.
She couldn't purge her top desk drawer.
It's her puppet masters that want to do this from the shadows.
I don't agree with Lake on a couple of items....but I've never been fully "happy" with any candidate.
Lake would be 100X better than Hobbs.
-
Polls are showing a dead heat.
Going to be very close.
Let's hope people get a look at Hobbs....she's a moron.

Liz Cheney has weighed in saying she would vote for Hobbs.
The woman has lost it.

Hobbs is not going to win this is she? Maybe she can work the front desk at a tanning salon … but heading the executive branch may not be her calling.

Even Hobb's supporters are getting upset that she is "softpedaling" her message.
Frankly, I don't think she has the moxy to stand toe-to-toe with Lake.
While I don't like overbearing candidates, it would truly demonstrate who would be in control when they are in the State House.

Have you seen the video of her running away from the Veritas reporter? It's a good one, and her Manager also ran to the toilet to escape.

Lake/Hobbs, a few rounds in the Mud Pit would give the voters a better view.
-
Hobbs' campaign appears desperate to me.
The adds they now running are completely misleading and focused on things that don't matter.
All in an effort to smear Lake.
Lake appears to have mastery over key issues and her campaign is focused.
She has moderated her positions well for a general election.
-

Soon, Hobbs my find that her only chance may be to debate Lake.
At which point, Lake may tell her to take a hike.

Axios writes, “Democratic Party strategists are watching Arizona’s Kari Lake with growing alarm.” Democrats told the New York Times that Lake’s “charisma and on-camera skills make her uniquely dangerous.”
Hey, Didn't AZ rats the their base to vote for Lake in the Primary?

Trump-backed Kari Lake gets a hand from an unlikely source in Arizona: Democrats
Allan Smith and Henry J. Gomez | July 13, 2022, 5:01 PM EDT
TUCSON, Ariz. — Kari Lake watched her lead narrow in the polls and big players in Arizona’s Republican establishment coalesce around her top rival weeks before the state’s Aug. 2 primary for governor.
So Democrats stepped in.
The state party, in an email blast this week, thanked her opponent, Karrin Taylor Robson, for past donations she made to Democratic candidates. The move was quickly interpreted as another example of Democrats’ meddling in midterm election primaries to help draw the general election opponent believed to offer the easier matchup in November — in this case Lake, an election denier endorsed by former President Donald Trump. . .

Well, that certainly was a winning strategery!
-
Things must be getting bad for Hobbs.
Now the ads are about Lakes comments about "Firing the Federal Government". They equating this to her calling for secession from the union.
To the best of my knowledge she's never called for that.
She made the comments in reference to the 10th amendment saying it would save us. If she wanted to secede, the 10th would not matter.
A whole lot of idiots have lapped this one up.
She's going to win and they know it.

Yeah I think Kari Lake wins it ... too many people have seen both of them by this point.

Hobbs more and more reminds me of Kevin's mom on Home Alone (an airhead).

538 now has Lake up by over 3 points !!!!
Hobbs is failing.
She's not very good and it is telling.
The more I see of Lake, the more I like her.
