Kari Lake Dragged After Claiming She 'Accomplished A Lot' Despite Losing All Her Court Cases

The GOP gubernatorial nominee for Arizona told a crowd of fans how she proved the election was 'rigged' despite losing all of her court cases.

Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake was widely mocked after she told a crowd of fans how she proved the 2022 election was "rigged" despite losing all of her court cases.

Lake, a contender in the 2022 Arizona governor's race with backing from Donald Trump, faced defeat by Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs but refused to concede. Her legal attempts to challenge certified election results in Maricopa County were dismissed for lack of evidence of misconduct.


Undeterred by her gubernatorial loss, Lake has set her sights on a 2024 Arizona Senate seat, entering a field that may include Democrat Ruben Gallego and possibly incumbent Kyrsten Sinema. Despite Sinema's unconfirmed re-election plans, Lake remains committed to her Senate bid.

Despite losing all of her challenges to the election results, Lake claimed she exposed election fraud in Arizona in remarks to her supporters:

“We have accomplished a lot. We stayed in the fight. We have shown not just Arizona, how they are trampling our sacred vote."
"How they are rigging our elections. How they are sabotaging Election Day. We’ve shown the whole world how they are doing that."
"This is where the battle is, in waking people up to what our elections have become. Because we’ve had the will to stay in the fight, we have continued. Our cases are still moving along.”

You can hear what Lake said in the video below.

People were quick to point out that Lake's efforts have been total failures.




In May, a judge dismissed the sole remaining legal claim in Lake's challenge, stating her failure to substantiate the allegation that Maricopa County neglected to verify signatures on mail-in ballots—an area representing 60 percent of Arizona's voters.

Before this setback, the Arizona Court of Appeals rejected Lake's assertions that specific ballot printing issues stemmed from deliberate misconduct.

Additionally, the state Supreme Court refused to review most of Lake's appeal, citing the absence of evidence to support her claim that over 35,000 ballots were erroneously added to the vote counts. Lake's legal team also faced a $2,000 fine from an Arizona court due to the dissemination of false statements.

The situation took a more adverse turn as the State Bar of Arizona initiated proceedings against three of Lake's attorneys over their conduct. Among them, one lawyer faces an additional complaint regarding an August social media post. In the post, he alleged collusion between the CIA, Department of Justice, and the Arizona Supreme Court in creating a misinformation board.

Outrage After Video Captures ICE Pepper-Spraying Protester Directly In The Face While He's Pinned Down

Anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis continue to grow in the weeks since an ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good. Now people are crying foul after a different agent was filmed spraying a man directly in the face with a chemical irritant while he was pinned to the ground by two other ICE agents.

In south Minneapolis, near West 28th Street and Blaisdell Avenue, agents pinned a person to the ground and sprayed a bright orange chemical irritant directly into their face. The clashes between federal agents and local residents erupted shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday, after the detention of two people near the intersection drew dozens of protesters who began shouting at officers.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Spouting Ridiculous Theory About Why Critics 'Never' Call Trump 'Dumb'

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was dragged after he offered the ridiculous theory that critics "never" call President Donald Trump "dumb"—even after all of the criticism Trump has received for outrageous and uninformed remarks he made at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Trump "appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland around three times" during his rambling speech to the world elite, per one reporter, a claim that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt flatly denied. He also claimed Europeans call him "daddy"—what?—and said the Swiss, who already largely speak German, would be speaking German were it not for the U.S.

Gen Z Sparks Debate After Deciding Which Common Millennial Name Is The New 'Karen'

We've all heard the name popularly assigned to women who are a nuisance in public, make a scene, demand to see the manager, and absolutely refuse to accept responsibility for anything: Karen.

Since around 2018, when the name was established as an insult, thousands of videos have gone viral that feature angry women in coffee shops, disgruntled that they have to wait in line, women refusing to wear a mask during the pandemic, women making racist and derogatory comments to people of color in public spaces, and much more.
