Kari Lake Adopts Trump’s “Rigged Election” Playbook

Kari Lake, failed Republican gubernatorial candidate for Arizona (and QAnon nut), is going all in with the sore loser “my race was rigged” rhetoric after losing to Democrat Katie Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes. Dispatched from behind the gauze filter on her webcam:

“We are taking all the steps necessary to remedy this assault on our democracy. This isn’t about Republicans or Democrats. This is about our sacred right to vote, a right that many voters were sadly deprived of on November 8th.

“Tens of thousands of you have reached out, pleading with me to fight this fight. Rest assured, I will. Because if we give up now, we will no longer have a country.

“Attorneys are working diligently to gather information. Whistleblowers are coming forward and the curtain is being lifted. Whether done accidentally or intentionally, it is clear that this election was a debacle that destroyed any trust in our elections.

“Arizonans who choose to make their voices known on Election Day should not be disenfranchised or punished. And yet, they were. I want you to know, Arizona, that I will continue fighting until we restore confidence and faith in our elections.”

After returning from Mar-a-Lago, election fraud conspiracy theorist Kari Lake is following her mentor’s playbook today, issuing a new statement saying her election was rigged, she is assembling evidence, and her legal team is going to attempt to overturn the outcome. pic.twitter.com/KyhVGs1Zv9

I wonder if the Giuliani dream team is available to lose another 60 cases. 😁

Why lose when you can pretend you won?
