Kari Lake continued her, um, appeal to those all-important moderate voters on Thursday, appearing on the podcast of a far-right commentator who vowed to go to war after the FBI served a search warrant on Mar-a-Lago.

“Tomorrow is war,” Steven Crowder declared on Tuesday to his nearly 2 million Twitter subscribers, the morning after Trump announced that FBI agents were searching his Florida home.

So naturally, Lake rushed to the front lines. She went on Crowder’s podcast on Thursday morning, wherein she called for the dismantling of the FBI.

from the AZ Central:

Lake 'absolutely' would disband the FBI
Here’s the exchange:

Crowder: “Would you, I really think it's important for our representatives, governors ... everyone to try and apply pressure to Republicans of national influence to disband the FBI and make sure we reduce …

Lake: “Absolutely.”

Crowder: “… the scope of the IRS? It’s a litmus test for me now.”

Lake: “100% I agree. We’re going back with our states’ rights. We’re sovereign states. We are not serfs to the federal government. We created the federal government, and now they are like this big monster that’s taken over our lives. And we’re going push back here. We’re going push on the 10th Amendment. And we’re going to start taking on these issues from the state’s point of view … .”

And no experience running government. We all know how that worked out for the US!

My sister in law who lives in Arizona doesn’t think she can win but never underestimate the stupid voters. Now if she says do away with social security and Medicare she would definitely lose.
