Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake criticized her Democrat opponent Rep. Ruben Gallego, saying he is “on the verge of being a full-blown Marxist.”
Lake argued Gallego does not represent Arizona’s spirit and makes current Senator Mark Kelly look conservative by comparison.
“Because I choose civility, understanding, listening, working together to get stuff done, I will leave the Senate at the end of this year,” Kyrsten Sinema said.
Lake accused Gallego of supporting defunding the police, attending defund the police rallies, and threatening ICE agents.
Lake also claimed Gallego backs biological males competing in women’s sports, illegal immigrants voting, and a bill that would raise gas prices by $1.
“I just think there’s no path to victory for her. I mean, we’ve done the polling. I’m sure she’s done the polling. Everyone’s done the polling and she can’t win,” Lake said.
“I’m about working together as well, but some of the things that that she was working toward … especially with that last piece of legislation, which was just disastrous when it came to securing our border because it didn’t secure the border. And I think there’s times for compromise, and there’s times where you have to stand up and say no, we can’t compromise when it comes to the safety and security of the American people,” she said.
Lake said Gallego “does not represent” the spirit of the state. He “makes Mark Kelly looks conservative.”
“He’s responsible along with Biden for the wide open border and the crime wave we’re seeing, yet he wants to take away our Second Amendment rights,” Lake added, noting that he has “threatened ICE agents for doing their jobs, enforcing immigration laws.”
“He’s attended defund the police rallies,” she said, adding, “This guy is right there on the verge of being a full-blown Marxist.”
“He supports biological males competing with our girls and young women in high school and college sports. He voted to allow illegals to vote. I mean, that’s the plan — nine million people have poured across. They want all of them to sign up to vote. And he supports a bill that would raise gas prices by $1. Right now Arizonans are struggling. They can’t even afford to fill their cars up. And he wants to raise gas prices,” she said.
She pledged to defeat Gallego and take Arizona’s needs to Washington, saying she will stand up for the state and secure the border with former President Trump.
Lake positioned herself as a fighter who will put America first, contrasting with Senator Sinema who she argued could no longer win due to her bipartisan approach.
“We’re going to beat him. We’re going to defeat him and we’re going to take the needs of the people of Arizona to Washington, DC, and stand up for them and secure that border with President Trump,” Lake added.
