Kari Lake, a Republican Senate candidate from Arizona who has advanced election conspiracy theories, is asking a judge to decide whether she must pay damages to a top county election official who sued her for defamation – after opting not to defend her statements in the case. Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer last year sued Lake – who ran unsuccessfully for Arizona governor in 2022 – arguing that her repeated false claims of election malfeasance made him and his family the targets of relentless threats. [...] “After months of doubling down and defending their lies across Arizona, in the media, and on social media, when push came to shove, the Defendants decided to completely back down and concede that their lies were just that: lies,” he said. “Because of their actions, my family and I have faced an endless barrage of threats — including calls for our execution — I have lost close personal relationships, and I have had my reputation irreparably damaged,” he added. “I have said from the beginning that no one is above the rule of law and today further validates that belief.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/27/politics/kari-lake-defamation-lawsuit-richer/index.html __________________________________________ Lake is ruined. Another election denier collapses in court. We've lost count. Since her defeat in 2022, Lake has repeatedly claimed that she was the victim of election fraud and that Hobbs was elected without legitimacy. She had promised to bring the evidence out into the open. She didn't.... because there is no proof.
She's not contesting that she lied about a fraudulent election. She's contesting that they was damages attached because of her lies. You know what, that strategy might work since FAUX, NEWSDRUGS and OANCRAZY and the Sinclair Group won't even report on this Big Lie concession she's made.
Her and now Mike Kindle, have gone off the cliff with their bat guano ideas, and hopefully Trump will join then soon.
Defending it would mean she'd have to essentially stand-up and admit she made it all up, just like her role model Trump did. This is hardly surprising. When the **** hits the fan, stolen election people consistently flop when asked to provide actual evidence of their claims. Just goes to show they never actually believed it, they just used it to drive votes and fund raising. The only people who actually believe it are the voters these imbeciles have duped.
Hillary Clinton is still whining about the 2016 election to anyone who will listen. Don't ignore your own election deniers. Lake has been pointing out the hypocrisy on the left for several years now.
No she isn't still whining, and as for election deniers, MAGAs are last the effing people to be calling others that !!!!!!!
And has been whining ever since. https://news.yahoo.com/hillary-clinton-maintains-2016-election-160716779.html
Not sure why mango adoring rightists always defend their hero to death and make up fake stories about others. Hillary conceded and never asked her supporters to storm the Capitol and stop the certification of Trump.
Not the smartest words from Clinton, but I suggest you look at the percentage of Democrats that think the 2016 election was stolen, and the percentage of Republicans that think the 2020 election was stolen. Plenty of Republicans said Obama stole his election too. That aside, some more hypocrisy outed from MAGAs. https://www.yahoo.com/news/georgia-republican-official-outspoken-election-221010542.html A judge has found Georgia Republican Party official Brian Pritchard guilty of illegally voting nine times over several years. Pritchard has falsely asserted Democrats had stolen the 2020 election through fraud.
