The Maricopa County Republican Committee (MCRC) held a Happy Birthday Party to America party with the election integrity group We the People AZ featuring Kari Lake and her new book. The book, Unafraid: Just Getting Started, was released on June 27. Almost 200 people RSVP’d for the glitzy event, which was held in an airplane hangar at the home of MCRC Chair Craig Berland. Tickets started at $100 each.
Lake gave a speech talking about the book, her election litigation, and plans for Arizona. Attendees received books and had them signed by Lake. Merissa Hamilton, who is heading up a chase the ballot effort for Lake with Save Arizona, registered voters at a table. The hosts provided hot dogs, apple pie, beer, and margaritas.
Lake said she knew she really won the Arizona gubernatorial race last fall because internal polling showed her up 12 points before the election. She revealed that she may be considering some new litigation. Lake said she is not stopping the current litigation over the race, which is on appeal with the Arizona Court of Appeals. “Maricopa County thought we would walk away after that first ruling on Christmas Eve,” she said. Since then, “we’ve found more fraud, and more fraud, and more fraud.”
Lake referred to the problems on Election Day as “diabolical B.S. with printers and tabulators.” She slammed the “fake media” for saying she and other Republicans lost because they “didn’t do a good job.” “We had incredible candidates,” Lake contended, “Do not vote for Republicans who say ‘stop talking about 2020’” and that we’re “living in the past.”
