Still not 'duly elected' Arizona Governor -- Kari Lake, TFG Endorsee

[Tiredretiredlawyer]

I get a big laugh every time I see that response letter!

[raison de arizona]

Lake, playing both holes of the porta-potty.

".@GovRonDeSantis has already said he would help out, he’ll send National Guard troops from Florida. I know we can get cooperation from other like-minded governors to send resources here because if we don’t protect the border, it affects every other state."

- @KariLake

[raison de arizona]

I think Hobbs is playing a risky game with refusing to debate.

Not gonna click on Phil’s column but I’d note that he was telling Arizonans that “Trump is no threat to democracy” while Katie was receiving death threats from Trump supporters for defending our elections.

We know who has the courage to fight it when it matters. And who doesn’t.

[raison de arizona]

"They are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, and they are rapists, and that is who is coming across our border. That's a fact."

This is as diametrically opposite Jesus' teachings as is possible.

I know that, and I left Catholic school in 1968. And I'm not THAT old.

[raison de arizona]

Apparently American Jesus is anti-immigration.

Also, pro-rocket launcher.

Kari Lake thinks people should own rocket launchers. Rocket launchers are weapons of war.
It's that simple. Watch our new digital ad:

In other, semi-related news, there's a hearing about changing the debate (which Lake wants) to more of a forum (which Hobbs wants.) We'll see what comes of it.

Hobbs should make a compilation of Lake talking over various people as one of her campaign ads. It’s obnoxious.

KATIE HOBBS CAMPAIGN RESPONDS TO CITIZENS CLEAN ELECTIONS COMMISSION

PHOENIX – Today, Secretary Katie Hobbs’ campaign manager, Nicole DeMont, responded to the Citizens Clean Elections Commission with the following statement:

“Secretary Hobbs remains willing and eager to participate in a town hall style event, such as the forum she participated in last week in which Arizonans were able to hear directly from Sec. Hobbs about her in-depth policy plans and how she would approach governing this state. Unfortunately, debating a conspiracy theorist like Kari Lake – whose entire campaign platform is to cause enormous chaos and make Arizona the subject of national ridicule – would only lead to constant interruptions, pointless distractions, and childish name-calling. Arizonans deserve so much better than Kari Lake, and that’s why we’re confident Katie Hobbs will be elected our next governor.

We must respectfully decline the invitation.”

Lake wants a circus. Hobbs won't give it to her. Don't know how that is going to work out for Hobbs, but I hope she continues to do a lot of public events sans Lake, as she has been.

[New Turtle]

Hobbs is counting on Mark Kelly voters putting her over the top.

Hobbs is counting on Mark Kelly voters putting her over the top.

It's too bad she can't count on the "Not stark raving mad" voters to help them both.

[raison de arizona]

Hobbs is a racist monster. Lake also calls her own answer great

[raison de arizona]

I have real fears of Lake becoming governor.

[raison de arizona]

Here comes (more) dirt.

I just got some really painful, hurtful news about @katiehobbs

My team is triple-confirming its true. Tomorrow I will be releasing. Bad stuff!

[raison de arizona]

Katie Hobbs @katiehobbs]
When I had a miscarriage, I needed surgery to protect my own health. That lifesaving treatment was the same procedure that’s commonly used for abortions — a procedure that Kari Lake wants to criminalize. As Governor, I won't let that happen.

Please report this tweet for misinformation.

Intentionally conflating miscarriages and abortions could do a tremendous amount of harm to the public.

[sugar magnolia]

And don't be conflating 'cars' and 'passenger vehicles' either!!!!

[tek]

Nice deflection there, Kari Lake War Room!

Criminalizing medical procedures necessary in the case of miscarriages WILL do a tremendous amount of harm to the public.

[pipistrelle]

Nice deflection there, Kari Lake War Room!

Criminalizing medical procedures necessary in the case of miscarriages WILL do a tremendous amount of harm to the public.

I did as Kari Lake War Room asked and reported the Kari Lake War Room tweet as misleading health information.

[Foggy]

So the "really painful, hurtful news about Katie Hobbs" is that ... she once had a miscarriage? That required a surgical procedure to save her life?

And this is now A FREAKIN' CAMPAIGN ISSUE? A MISCARRIAGE?


OMFG.

[Slim Cognito]

I can't bear to watch anything with Lake in it (too much going on in my personal life right now) but I'm guessing Lake is attacking Hobbs for having a D&C after a miscarriage, which may have kept Hobbs from hemorrhaging possibly to death (secondary to or primarily from the SA). I don't know the stats, but lots of spontaneous abortions (vs therapeutic) do not fully evacuate and without dilatation and curettage, the woman can become septic and die. It's been a problem for women since time began.

So, yeah, let's kill more women in dog's name.

(and if I misguessed, I stand by the off topic rant)

[Foggy]

No, I think you nailed it, Slim. I think she had a D&C, and now Kari Lake wants to make it a campaign issue, and I suppose I'm okay with that because it makes her look half as insane as she truly is, which will turn off a lot of voters.

I mean, I'm horrified, but ...

I mean, how many women know another woman who had a D&C, or had one themselves? Do you think all those women are now going to agree that their friends should have been jailed for that, just because Trump endorsed the whacko bird?

[Slim Cognito]

Also too, as I’m sure everyone here knows, if a woman is suffering from non-pregnancy related dysmenorrhea, it is treated with D&C if oral meds can’t stop it.

[Suranis]

I thought no what Hobbs said is increday stupid. It's like saying you should ban legitimate arsenic treatment because arsenic is sometimes used to kill people.

I know you are reflexedly going to the opposition to the lunatic, but the lunatic is right. Conflating a misscarraiges with abortions WILL get women killed, as the regulations for one will start affecting the other.

Hell Huminae Vitae said that you could use contraception to treat medical issues, as long as the intention was not birth control.

Hobbs statement is typical of the pig ignorant crap I have seen in the last few months. No a miscarriage is not an abortion, despite unscientific people trying to make them the same to create falsemoral dillemas

[Foggy]

Wait, so you're saying a miscarriage and a D&C is a "painful, hurtful" thing that is legitimate to use against a political opponent?
