Trump, Done with Democracy, Calls on Kari Lake to Be ‘Installed’ as Arizona’s Governor

Donald Trump on Monday declared the Arizona midterm election “yet another criminal voting operation” and demanded that defeated gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake be “installed Governor of Arizona.”

Much of Lake’s Trump-backed campaign was centered around bolstering unfounded claims of electoral fraud in the 2020 election, and the former TV anchor has lived up to her commitment to only accept election results if she won.

Lake, who lost her bid for governor to Democrat Katie Hobbs, has refused to acknowledge the election results, instead filing a lawsuit requesting public records from Maricopa County that would detail which voters experienced issues casting their ballots, and information regarding errors in ballot counting.

“We know we won this election,” Lake said in a weekend interview with far-right streaming service Real America’s Voice. “We are going to do everything in our power to make sure that every single Arizonans vote that was disenfranchised is counted.”

1. I do appreciate that he actually said "installed". No use pretending that you

believe in the democratic process anymore, right?

[Liberal In Texas]

10. "Installed" is what you say when the military drags out the elected leader and puts a puppet

in the office.

Sounds about what he wants to do.

2. The malignancy is true to form

[jcgoldie]

3. At least Kari Lake is true to her campaign promises...

Candidate who ran on election denial, denies results of election. How sincere!

4. When several republicans are on the same ballot for different offices, the ones that win are an hone

When several republicans are on the same ballot for different offices, the ones that win are an honest election.

The ones that lose are because of voter fraud. Or whatever excuse.

Same voter(s).

[Diamond_Dog]

5. Who the hell does he think he is?

He’s just a private citizen under threat of some very damaging indictments.

The only thing he should be calling for is the next flight to Russia.

[Initech]

12. He's a self-appointed "god emperor".

And his army of conspiracy theory shitheads who don't live in reality and live in Fox News fantasy land will follow him off a cliff, like the lemmings that they are. I'm tired of playing nice with these assholes if you can't tell.

[orthoclad]

6. Corporate behavior

CEO's get "installed". Bare Naked Capitalism.

Well, his fans wanted him to run the country like a company. And he did. Like Musk sinking twitter. Grift, insults, threats, bribery, and a $2B present from Sawdi Arabia.

Gee, I wonder why his minions refused to track the covid money?

[ananda]

7. Can't he just will it with his mind?

!@#$$%

[Bleacher Creature]

8. I would like to be installed as Governor of Montana.

Make it so!!

[panader0]

18. you'd have to deal with Beth Dutton.......

[Chainfire]

9. Trump is simply Qrazy.

He needs to be placed in a sleeveless jacket in a padded room.

[PortTack]

11. Lake is just dumber than a post! She knows she isn't going to be gov, why screw up other

Political chances? Not to say I care she becomes sarah palin 2.0

[area51]

13. "We know we won this election"

Has Lake got a mouse in her pocket?

[Midnight Writer]

14. Deny, distract, deflect.

TFG is under fire for his dinner with Ye and Nic, so he throws out fresh bait for the media to get them away from his last outrage.

[kentuck]

15. What better way to keep his "Big Lie" going?

He's squirming like an earthworm on a hot sidewalk.

[Cha]

16. Big ol Fucking Rancid Blowhard.. STFU

NO!

[Trenzalore]

17. I think there was 40 people who showed up at their stop the steal rally on Friday and Saturday

Are those 40 "patriots" going to install her lol.
