Kari Lake attempts to explain JD Vance calling Trump “America’s Hitler”
Donald Trump calling for unity in the wake of the assassination attempt against him. Both Trump and Biden say rhetoric must be toned down.
Maitlis wondered if Lake felt prepared to tone down her comments.“I think the tone has always been good,” said Lake, who has repeatedly claimed the 2020 election was stolen and that her own Arizona election in 2022 was rigged against her.Lake went on to voice issues the Republican Party is prioritizing, such as “a strong economy, strong borders…”Maitlis returns to the subject of tone.
Does Lake agree that it has gotten “out of hand”?Lake, beginning to bristle, responds, I think “The tone is really disturbing when the media is calling a man like Donald Trump ‘Hitler’.”Maitlis points out it was JD Vance who compared Donald Trump to Hitler back in 2016.“Like the media is doing,” asserts Lake. “JD Vance was probably, like many Americans, they listen to the media.
And for eight years, the media has been tearing President Trump apart: A good man who everybody loved before he ran.”Lake continued, “I applaud the fact people like JD Vance, Amber Rose, people are coming over, going ‘Wooah, the media was lying and I believed it’.”Maitlis then pushed Lake about falsely claiming Trump won in 2020 and that she won her own 2020 gubernatorial run.Lake responds, “I’m not going to sit here and go through all the evidence of what happened. [Do] you believe Joe Biden won 81 million votes?“Obviously you’re sitting across the pond and you don’t understand what’s happened,” said Lake, condescendingly.Maitlis then reminds Lake she faced legal action over her stolen election claims.Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer said Lake consistently lied about his actions as recorder.
