The Arizona Republican told a large audience it would take a united nation to ‘push back’ against a ‘globalist monarchy’ in Washington.
SHOW LOW, Ariz.—Kari Lake, an Arizona Republican and U.S. Senate candidate, said it would take “all hands on deck” to stand up against what she views as a political establishment that spent nearly a decade working to undermine President Donald Trump.
“They have been attacking this man for eight solid years. They’ve been going after his family,” Ms. Lake told a standing-room audience during a campaign swing at The Trump Store in Show Low on May 31.
On May 30, a jury in Manhattan found Mr. Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying documents related to alleged payments he made to silence porn star Stormy Daniels.
“Can you imagine [Mr. Trump’s trial] happening in New York City right now with all of these illegals pouring into that city as a sanctuary city?” Ms. Lake said.
“And what are they prosecuting? A bogus, made-up bookkeeping dispute. That’s what they spent six weeks prosecuting. Not the murders. Not the rapes. Not the attacks on the subway. Who’s losing out right now? It’s We The People who are losing out.”
Ms. Lake had two words to describe the jury verdict: “Horrible. Unbelievable.”
“Actually, I wish it were totally unbelievable. I actually kind of saw it coming with the direction we’ve been going,” Ms. Lake said.
“His family’s been dragged through the mud. I’m not here to defend him—I’m here because he’s fighting for us. I don’t want that happening to any of you. I guess I do defend him, because you know what? I’ve never seen a man who’s more willing to fight for this country than President Trump.”
Ms. Lake asked, “Can you imagine, day after day after day—it’s not just local news. It’s worldwide news attacking him. People are waking up to it, and they’re turning off the news.
“All they wanted to say was ‘convicted felon.’ They were willing to put our judicial system through all of this. They were willing to trample on our judicial system, our court system.”
