“There is a particularly worrying GOP figure, the Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake. What makes Kari Lake’s story fascinating is not who she is, but who she used to be, Lake used to be an Obama donor, a staple local news anchor in Phoenix, and close friend of a local drag queen for 20-plus years. Believe it or not, Kari Lake went from being a popular local newscaster to hating the media. She was personal friends with a drag queen, and now she says they’re a danger to children. I’ve heard of people being open to change, but this is almost not the same person. Like I wouldn’t be shocked if we found out the real Kari Lake was locked up in a basement somewhere while this Maga alien pretends to be her. This is a bigger transformation than the drag queens she suddenly hates!” Which, by the way, is particularly shitty. It’s already horrible to turn on any friend, but betraying the one who taught you how to get your contouring on point? That is unforgivable!” —Trevor Noah
“Lake has aligned herself with Donald Trump and repeatedly refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. Maybe you think Kari Lake’s election denials don’t concern you. You would be wrong, as Arizona isn’t just where your aunt gets all her turquoise jewelry. It’s also a key swing state that helped push Joe Biden over the top in 2020. And if Kari Lake becomes governor, she could have the final say over who wins it in 2024. Asked by MSNBC if, in 2024, she’d be willing to put the country into constitutional crisis by not certifying Arizona’s election results, Lake answered: ‘Would you certify a crooked, corrupt election just to make peace?’ She’s saying that if the election in 2024 is ‘stolen’ for Biden the same way the last election was ‘stolen’ for Biden, then she’s not going to approve the results. And that would be chaos. To those saying Trump tried a coup and it didn’t work. The reason it didn’t work is because there were various Republicans in key positions who didn’t go along with it. But if those people get replaced by people like Kari Lake, it’s a whole different story. Because you see, you don’t need to storm the Capitol when your friends have the keys.” —Trevor Noah
