Gallego calls Kari Lake's remarks on Trump indictment 'dangerous'

Source: The Hill

Arizona Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego called out former state gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake (R) for her recent remarks on former President Trump’s indictment, referring to them as “dangerous.”

Speaking at a Georgia GOP convention, Lake threatened violence toward Attorney General Merrick Garland, President Biden, and Special Counsel Jack Smith, and the media for coming after Trump.

“If you want to get to President Trump, you’re going to have to go through me, and you’re going to have to go through 75 million Americans just like me,” Lake said during her speech on Friday, according to the AZ Central.

“And I’m going to tell you, most of us are card-carrying members of the NRA. That’s not a threat, that’s a public service announcement.”

Just keep throwing lit matches on that kerosene. One of them is bound to start a fire eventually.

Because the DU is neutral in Democratic races, this is not an official link until Ruben wins the primary next year. PLEASE help keep this kicked today.

We have raised $785 as of this post.

10. Why is DU neutral in a race between an Independent vs. a Democrat?

I know its probably a dumb question and I'm like maybe 3 months behind and 10 cards short of a full deck, because I'm missing something for sure.

Or maybe its not "DU-ish" to ask a question like this.

Or is there another actual Democrat in this primary besides Gallego? In which we would be siding with a true Democrat vs. another true Democrat.

I know there's a DU SOP rule against slamming Independents that caucus with the Democrats (Sinema), but that's not the same as requiring neutrality when they are running against an actual Democrat, at least I don't think it is (but I'm 10 cards short and 3 months behind)

Thanks

It is because up until the filing deadline ANOTHER true Democrat could enter the race.

Or is there another actual Democrat in this primary besides Gallego? In which we would be siding with a true Democrat vs. another true Democrat.

Soft and fuzzy, she ain't.

Republican women are not excluded from participating in the phony tough-guy act.

It is all bravado -- the fake tough:
Trump
Kari Lake
MTG
Lauren Bobble-head
Gym Jordan
Matt Gaetz
Steve Bannon
Tucker Carlson
Proud Boys

How many of these national and DC Republicans actually served in the military?
How many have volunteered to risk their lives by going into harm's way?

Fake Fake Fake

I already knew she was insane, but this is a different and worse kind of insane than I realized.

I am SO damned sick and tired of politicians who want to be part of our government but have no respect for the rule of law. Fuck Donald Trump for modeling the behavior that has given people like Lake permission to behave like this.

Understandable. The rule of law is kryptonite to fascists.
