Kari Lake's 'Planet Crazy' Comment Quickly Gets Turned Against Her
Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s latest attack on the media is getting plenty of attention on Twitter ― but probably not for the reasons she hoped.
“They’re living on planet crazy,” Lake, a far-right conspiracy theorist who has pushed debunked claims about the 2020 and 2022 elections, said on Newsmax on Tuesday. “I don’t frankly want to be on that same planet with them because they lost their minds.”
Lake has lost every legal effort to overturn the results of the election she lost to Katie Hobbs in November, including her last remaining case in Arizona, in which her own star witnesses made a strong argument against her claims.
Earlier this month, the Arizona Supreme Court even fined one of her attorneys for “false factual statements.”
An increasingly desperate Lake said on Tuesday she intends to take her case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Yet on Newsmax she called the media “completely desperate.”
“They’ll say anything,” she said. “It shows how desperate they are.”
Her critics on Twitter were ready to blast off on her “planet crazy” claims:
Kari Lake: "They're living on planet crazy."
