Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake responded to speculation she might be tapped as former President Trump’s VP pick in 2024 on the “Todd Starnes Show.”
Lake, who is running for governor against Arizona Secretary of State and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs, made it clear where she stands on the rumors being pushed by the mainstream media Friday.
“You’ll love this line from Politico. They said if Lake wins, she instantly has to be at the top of Trump’s potential VP list,” host Todd Starnes said.
“You know, I’ve been asked a lot of questions about that lately, which I’m going to be I’m just going to say thank you. I’m flattered because I’ve been on the campaign trail roughly 509 days, but who’s counting?” Lake began.
“And, you know, it wasn’t too long ago maybe, you know, 300-400 days in that the mainstream media was trying to attack me: ‘What is she now? How dare she run for office? Who the heck does she think she is? What’s her qualification?’ And now they’re saying, ‘Whoa, are we going to see you in the White House someday?’ So it’s been a big shift,” Lake explained.
“I think they’re just trying to scare the people that I won’t be here for the long haul,” she added. “And my answer to them is, to the fake news, look, I’m not only going to be here four years and be your worst enemy, I’m going to be your worst enemy for eight years. So get ready to rumble with a governor who’s actually going to do something in Arizona. And I don’t care what the fake news says.”

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
