Conspiracy theorist and MAGA candidate for Arizona Governor Kari Lake said former Republican President Donald Trump and Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis have "BDE," the slang acronym for "big d*ck energy."

Lake made the comments at a conference for conservative student organization Turning Point USA over the weekend.


Lake then took to Twitter to make sure everyone knew she is standing by her apparent admiration for Trump's and DeSantis' assets or attitude.

Lake made the comment after deciding against complimenting DeSantis' testicles.

Lake said:

“[DeSantis has] bigger—okay, wait let me think about how I want to word this. My staff always says, whatever you do, do not say ‘balls'."

After reconsidering, Lake then said:

"I’ll tell you what he’s got. I don’t know if you’ve heard of this but he’s got BDE. Everybody know what that means? Ask your kids about it later."

She then coined her own version of the acronym.

"I call it ‘big DeSantis energy. He’s got the same kind of BDE that President Trump has."
"And frankly, he has the same kind of BDE we want all our elected leaders to have."

Conservatives loved Lake's comments, with some saying they wished they lived in Arizona so they could vote for her.

But not everyone agreed.

Twitter user @JoJofromJerz said in response to Lake's tweet:

“Welp, that’s sure as sh*t not what Stormy Daniels had to say.”

Others on Twitter pointed out Lake's comment wasn't exactly in line with the Evangelical Christian morality she and other Republicans espouse.




Others were just plain disgusted.




Lake—a QAnon and White nationalist sympathizer, 2020 election denier and former Phoenix news anchor—won the Republican primary in Arizona last week.

She will face Arizona Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in November.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
