Kari Lake Sounds the Alarm: Democrats Still Avoiding the Border!

Kari Lake Sounds the Alarm: Democrats Still Avoiding the Border!

Kari Lake Takes Aim at Democratic Border Policies

CHANDLER, Ariz. — Kari Lake, Arizona’s outspoken political figure, didn’t mince words when addressing the Democratic presidential ticket this Thursday. Surrounded by families affected by border-related issues, Lake drove home her point: Democrats are failing on border security.

Lake vs. Harris: A Border Showdown

At a campaign event and in a follow-up interview, Lake took Vice President Kamala Harris to task ahead of her Glendale rally. Lake claimed Harris would once again visit Arizona without so much as a glance at the southern border.

Lake didn’t hold back in her criticism of Harris, who’s been called the “border czar.” She contrasted Harris’s approach with former President Donald Trump’s border wall policies, which Lake praised. Taking a swipe at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Lake quipped, “Well, at least the only Walz Harris supports is her VP pick.”

In a bold move, Lake invited Harris to visit the border after her rally, adding with a grin, “people don’t like her here.”

Lake’s Criticism of Democratic Policies

Lake’s frustration was clear as she criticized Democrats for what she sees as their mishandling of border issues. She targeted her opponent, Ruben Gallego, calling him Biden-Harris’ “yes man” on border policies. Lake went as far as dubbing Harris, Walz, and Gallego the “three musketeers of nightmarish policy.”

Lake’s Growing Support Base

Lake pushed back against claims that she lacks GOP support, pointing out that Karrin Taylor Robson has endorsed her. She also highlighted her growing support among everyday Democrats who are joining her side, albeit reluctantly in some cases.

Voter Testimonials

Jade Gillon, a former Democrat and African-American Trump supporter, shared her perspective at the event. “I’m working six days this week,” Gillon said, highlighting the challenges under the current administration. “I’m doing worse now than I ever did under Trump—yet I’m supposed to be afraid of him? Make it make sense.”

Republican Representatives Rally Behind Lake

U.S. Representatives Eli Crane and Andy Biggs stood with Lake at the event, along with families impacted by the border situation. Crane didn’t pull any punches, questioning media coverage of Biden’s cognitive abilities and criticizing Walz for exaggerating his military record.

Crane expressed concern about the relationship between Harris and her VP pick with socialism. He challenged the audience, asking, “Calling socialism being a good neighbor—is that what you folks want?” He added that if so, “we’re all aboard the pain train.”

Gallego Camp Responds

The Gallego camp was quick to counter Lake’s claims. Campaign spokesperson Hannah Goss highlighted Gallego’s efforts on border security, including his work to hire more agents and combat fentanyl trafficking.

Political Mudslinging Intensifies

Lake faces accusations of being a “power-hungry liar,” which seems par for the course in heated political debates.

The Battle for Endorsements

As the event concluded, the “Democrats & Former Democrats for Kari Lake & America First” coalition stood firm, presenting a stark contrast to Harris’ “Republicans for Harris” campaign launch.

The race for endorsements is on, and it’s anyone’s guess who’s leading. One thing’s certain: this election season is getting hotter than an Arizona summer!
