Supporters Furious After Kari Lake's 'Exciting Announcement' Turns Out To Be A Grift - Farron Balanced

[TexasTowelie]

Kari Lake got her fans all riled up this week after she teased an "exciting announcement" about "the next chapter" of her story. Fans immediately began speculating that she was either running for President, running for Senate, or had secured Trump's nod to be his Vice President on the ticket. But fans were left bitter after the REAL announcement was made and it turned out to just be another money-making scheme. Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Failed gubernatorial candidate, Carrie Lake managed to off her supporters this week by retweeting a tweet from the Carrie Lake War Room Twitter account. That teased a major exciting announcement to come later that day. It told folks, stay tuned because Carrie Lake has something big to share about the next chapter, uh, presumably of her life. Now, this led to rampant speculation among her supporters on Twitter. Is she gonna announce she's running for president? Is she going to announce that Donald Trump has picked her to be his vice president on the Republican ticket? Is she running for Senate? Is there a major development in the ongoing case that she's trying to use to get the Arizona gubernatorial race results overturned? Who knows folks? But everybody was on edge waiting, waiting for the major announcement, and before they were even able to make the announcement, they had to tweet out, like, temper your expectations.

I mean, that's literally what they said. Temper your expectations. She's not running for president. So even the Carrie Lake War Room, realo, which is pretty much run by Carrie Lake's team, realized, uh oh, we've got people a little too excited. We need to calm them down. So eventually Carrie Lake herself tweeted the big announcement. So what is it? Is she gonna run for that Senate seat? Is she Trump's vice president? They only said she's not running for president. Did she get the election overturned? What was it? What is it, Carrie? We are all waiting.

She wrote a book. That's the, uh, that's, that's the major announcement. She, she wrote a book and that's, that's why they had the pun in there like the next chapter because cuz it's a book, her supporters obviously not too happy that they were put on edge, that they were so excited to see what was coming from Carrie Lake, only to realize, oh, you're trying to sell us something like you, you're, you're grifting us once again, we're being conned into buying your stupid new book. Here's what Carrie Lake said in the official announcement. I spent three decades in the media telling your stories. Now I've been blessed with the opportunity to finally tell my own, I can't wait for you to read it. The book is called Unafraid Just Getting Started. Well, based on your announcement, you should have called it How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. But I mean, that title's already taken, but that's pretty much what you did. For 30 years. I've been telling your stories. Now it's time for you to hear mine. We've all heard your story. Um, and it didn't even move enough people in the state of

Arizona to, to vote for you. In fact, according to the poll, the exit polls, it actually turned a lot of Republicans against you because the analysis of those, uh, results from the Arizona election showed that Republicans chose to not vote for Kerry Lake for governor, but then did continue to vote for Republicans the rest of the way down the ticket. So they heard your story and they didn't like it, but Grifter is gonna grift, right? Carrie Lake's gotta make money somehow. I mean, as best I can tell, she doesn't technically have a job anymore. And I, I thought Republicans hated people that weren't working, just these lazy mooches out there doing nothing. And Carrie Lake has pretty much done nothing for the last six months other than wine and and moan about the fact that she didn't win her election. But I guess she's been behind closed doors writing a book.

And I'm sure like every other book by every other conservative out there, it'll be a bestseller. And if it's not, she'll use whatever leftover campaign fund. She has to buy a bunch of copies to make it a best seller. So there it is. Her supporters weren't too happy about the fact that she led them on for hours and hours this week. And that probably isn't going to help your book cells at all. By the way, Carrie, you can't, you can't lead people on with a major announcement and then tell them that the announcement is you've gotta go buy this piece of crap that you have created.
