#Trump …tapped a right-wing former TV news anchor, #karilake to run #voiceofamerica Even before she arrived, the broadcaster began discouraging its journalists from saying or writing things that could be construed as critical of Mr. Trump—part of an attempt that its leaders hoped would help fend off attacks by the president”

Stop trying to appease dictators. Stop compromising who you are & what you stand for

It doesn’t work anyway

Hobbs was elected Arizona Governor in 2022.

She won her election by 0.67%, or 17,117 votes.

Hobbs narrowly beat conspiracy theorist Kari Lake, who is a passionate promoter of the big lie that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 presidential election, but the election was stolen from him.

Hobbs (D) received 50.3% of the vote, and Lake (R) received 49.6%.

@VOANews This kind of ticker tape pollution presented as "news" is a crime against human sanity. Just why??

Is there any value in "informing" people that this was blurted out by the #trump scriptwriters?

The entire #maga has been propagandizing this attack as an "immigrant crime caused by #Biden" but this is what a still-credible outlet presents, to normalize things??

The never-elected maga sycophant #karilake looms ever larger... 😬

Oh geez. Opposite World.

#Trump chose #KariLake, the former TV news anchor turned election denier who lost races for senator and governor of Arizona, to lead Voice of America, a federally funded broadcaster that aims to offer unbiased news to audiences around the world.“

The New York Times · Trump Transition Live Updates: Kari Lake Chosen to Lead Voice of AmericaBy Minho Kim

In yet another state that went for Donald Trump, the Democratic candidate for U.S. scraped by with a close victory.

Mother JonesHow Ruben Gallego defeated election-denier Kari Lake in Arizona's nail-biter Senate raceGallego won by pivoting. Lake lost because she insisted on digging in her MAGA-red heels.

If Lake loses, she may not accept the outcome of her own race.

When asked on CNN in 2022 if she would accept the result if she lost, Lake answered, “I’m going to win the election, and I will accept that result."

That eerily echoes Trump’s comment in 2016 that he would, “totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election, if I win.”

The New York Times · Kari Lake Won’t Pledge to Accept Election Results, and More News From the Sunday ShowsBy Maggie Astor

✔️

Via Kyle Griffin:

Rep. Ruben #Gallego, asked about #KariLake's personal attacks in the #Arizona Senate debate, says: "Her nastiness is going to be her undoing."

“This is who she is. She attacked the McCain family and called him a loser. And this is a woman that used to go and have dinner with the McCains. She attacked the Richer family to the point where he sued for defamation had to get personal bodyguards."
