According to the transcript at the link, the headline is misleading.

She's not asking to be arrested. She's saying county officials should be willing to be arrested.

"But I wish that somebody would say, 'You know what? Arrest me then. I don't care,'" Lake remarked. "We need people with courage to say, 'Class what felony? Go ahead, go for it, arrest me because this is a botched election and you're disenfranchising the folks in Mohave County when you allow this kind of election in Maricopa County to stand.'"

I'm not defending this sore loser buffoon but if you read the article she's not saying "arrest me." She's speaking in 3rd person, advocating thats what those in charge of certifying the election should say.

She wants County Supervisors to break the law FOR her. Another loud-ass COWARD like her hero, wanting others to do the dirty work:

"But I wish that somebody would say, 'You know what? Arrest me then. I don't care,'" Lake remarked. "We need people with courage to say, 'Class what felony? Go ahead, go for it, arrest me because this is a botched election and you're disenfranchising the folks in Mohave County when you allow this kind of election in Maricopa County to stand.'"

Or you could shut the fuck up and go away, Kari.

She was saying that election officials who claim that they are certifying only because they would be arrested otherwise should let themselves be arrested.

certification of the election is accurate or not. They are responsible for their own and if they don't follow the law, they are lawbreakers and criminals and they should be arrested. What a load of bull.

And of course, everything she told Bannon was a lie. Other than the printer glitch in a Maricopa precinct, everything went smoothly, and every person who was affected by the ballot printer issue voted and their vote was counted and traced.

Keep in mind who's doing this. This is Kari Lake, an anchor person from a Fox news station, which already speaks to her lack of any kind of credibility whatsoever. And the interviewer is Steve Bannon, who is himself a liar and a criminal and will be in prison relatively soon, should be there already. So there is not anything of substance here at all.

The one good thing that may come of this is that if the votes in the one holdout county left in Arizona not certifying are not counted, two more Democrats win elections, including one congressional seat. But as far as Lake is concerned, she's done, Arizona said NO!

At least the story where a couple of people were convicted (and face 20 years in prison) for seditious conspiracy).

Encouraging people to break the law... well, I guess that won't cost HER anything... oh wait... isn't TFG being investigated for election interference in GA (among a multitude of other crimes involved with the 2020 election and the January 6 riot)?

There's so much to say about this that I hardly know where to begin.

Let's start with this... her engagement in this kind of behavior is exactly why she lost her election. And it's not as though she's the exception among the 2022 election losers. There were a whole bunch of election deniers/voter-fraud-pushers that lost. She's too stupid to realize that.

I imagine she has some idea that if she sticks to her guns then TFG may consider her as a running mate. I also imagine that she'd love that kind of attention. But a ticket like that is doomed to loss and will get her nowhere--unless we consider the fundraising possibilities. Then again if the two of them are paired-up to grift off of this, TFG would most certainly take all the money for himself. She's too stupid to realize this too.

Anyone who really cared about the people of AZ would never promote carelessly spending their tax dollars on the legal fight she's about to start.

And of course there's the fact that promoting the election conspiracies shows that she doesn't know how to lead. She's following TFG's lead--close enough and low enough to kiss his butt. She doesn't belong in any executive position.
