Kari Lake, the Phoenix newscaster-turned-candidate for the Republican Governor’s race in Arizona, is all the rage in Trumpworld these days. He held a fundraiser for her last night at Mar-a-Lago — although he did spend most of his time complaining about “rigged elections” — and ironically, she’s been more in the news than she was when she was on the air.

But it takes a special candidate to catch Trump’s eye, and in her case, it’s because she’s batsh*t crazy, like most of the people he promotes.

Not crazy like a regular Republican who just wants to make sure the poor stay poor. No, crazy like, cannot do math and just says anything that pops into her skull.

For example, at a recent event at Arizona State University, Lake said to a reporter:

This is what’s wrong with our media. You guys are pushing a narrative. You know that Joe Biden didn’t win by 81 million votes.

Okay, first of all, everyone knows that Biden didn’t win by 81 million votes. He won with 81 million votes. There’s an important distinction there that would make voter turnout right around 97 percent if it were what she thinks people are saying.

But then Lake argued after the reporter pushed back and said that she knew Biden had, indeed, won the election:

You really need to put down the crack pipe — Hunter’s crack pipe. You really believe Joe Biden won by 81 million votes?

Who does that? Who takes the known addiction issues of someone’s son and makes them an attack on anyone who disagrees with you?

Republicans, and especially Kari Lake, apparently.

To her credit, the unknown reporter in the clip below did assert that “there is no proof behind most of the stuff you’ve tweeted about the election.” Lake then takes the last word with a hearty “yes, there is.”

[Editor’s note: There isn’t]
