I guess Katie Hobbs had a point about not giving that loon a platform at a debate.

didn't seem to hurt Katie Hobbs that she wouldn't get on the debate stage with that toxic Liar.

Side note.. And poor Gabbard couldn't help the fascist election denier.

Lake distorts everything and throws out so many lies that it is impossible to counter all of them. This is true for this excellent interviewer whose task was to show Australia who she was, not to dispute what she says. Notice that no one here notes that the J6 people in jail have been charged, just not tried yet.

She is the worst middle school mean girl I have ever seen.

I would say more, but my post would get alerted for being too offensive. So I will stop at saying Kari Lake is a very nasty woman for how she bullies others.

I thought the only thing preventing the US becoming Australia was the lack of kangaroos, dingos, Tasmanian devils, crocodiles, cane toads, box jellies, blue-ringed octopi, man-eating sharks, funnel web spiders, cone snails, drop bears, cassowaries, stonefishes and Vegemite.

Of which there are more than a few just like in any country
Pushing against their gun control laws. Says she is sorry that Aussies don't have MORE guns, like the good old USA, with the highest gun murder rate. Trying to stoke anti government rebellion on her way out. Its all in the Bannon playbook of create as much chaos as you can.

edit: Good Riddance!

right at the end of the clip, as she's getting up to go. Wow. I think she is completely in the MAGA bubble, and would have been totally unfit to govern (she'd be unfit to serve burgers, for that matter; incapable of being pleasant to an average person). She's actually more sociopathic and deluded than Trump (who wouldn't quibble about things like "your man Donald" ). She seems to have built her world around a hatred of all parts of the media. Who knows how much damage it did to her working in it for years.

I still say she is, atm, perhaps Trumpy Thee Poison Mushroom's number one VP pick.

Maybe even more likely now as she now has her own delusional 'stolen election' big lie meme to incite and grift with.

Poisonous berk.

the fact that trump himself has lost.....

He doesn't like losers.

She lost.

She's toast.

He'll pick Stefanik (if he wants the more serious vote) or Marjorie Taylor Greene (if he wants the loudmouth vote).

Sitting here in my Covid internment camp, with no guns, no US Constitution, and no freedom, I wondered what I was missing and know now she's filled me in. That's some batshit crazy going on in er cooked brain. I thought that was a truly funny interview. Even funnier than the Guardian one when that Fitchum guy yelled in the journalists face when he tried to ask him a question.
