By Nick Vachon -February 8, 2022 10:49 AM
Kari Lake tweeted in December, 'When I'm Governor, we'll finish the wall ourselves in defiance of them. Is Joe Biden going to send officials in to arrest a sitting Governor? Try me.'
Kari Lake, a former news anchor for Phoenix Fox affiliate KSAZ-TV who is now the front-runner in the Republican primary race for Arizona governor, has promised to complete former President Donald Trump's wall on the U.S.-Mexico border by illegally building on federal land.
On Feb. 4, Lake shared video on Twitter of comments she made on right-wing journalist Tim Pool's "Timcast" podcast on Dec. 3 and tweeted, "The Feds have ABANDONED us. When I'm Governor, we'll finish the wall ourselves in defiance of them. Is Joe Biden going to send officials in to arrest a sitting Governor? Try me."
On the show, Lake had said, "We need to build the wall first of all, we need to sue the federal government for failing to protect us, and while that lawsuit is working its way through the system, let's go down and start building the wall. We have many miles of Arizona state land we could be building it on, and let's finish these little gaps. They're coming through a funnel, where there's a gap in the president's wall. And it is on federal land, but let's build the wall anyway what's Joe Biden going to do? Arrest a sitting governor?"
