Kari Lake on Twitter.
Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake Thursday called on the Republican candidates challenging Donald Trump for the presidential nomination to suspend their campaigns and back the former president despite his federal indictment.
Lake in a bonkers appearance by phone on "The Gorka Reality Check" with host Sebastian Gorka called President Joe Biden a "vulture" and suggested he should be arrested over unfounded bribery allegations - not the former president who according to multiple reports is facing charges over the handling of classified documents in possible violation of the Espionage Act.
Lake's suggestion came in response to an assertion from Gorka that the federal indictment "will make (Trump) more powerful and more popular, will create even more fundraising for the president."
"They've actually they've actually made him the nominee tonight, haven't they on the left?" Gorka asked Lake.
"I feel like he was a nominee before, but I agree with you, and I really hope that the others who are running, which is silly anyways, we know President Trump won, he won with more votes than any in the history of this country in 2020, and these other people running against him need to speak out step forward and say we support President Trump, that this is outrageous what our corrupt government is doing to him, and we're going to suspend our candidacies and we're going to stand behind President Trump because we stand for America.
"We cannot have an America if our government just gone this rogue and this corrupt. So I hope these other guys and women running will have a night where they think about what's happening and realize that we need to rally around the one man who's standing up in the gap for the people of this great nation."
She didn't get much pushback from the host.
"Yeah, that's an amazing, amazing suggestion," Gorka said.
"The honorable thing to do now, in protest of this political persecution is for the other 10 nominees to say no, we withdraw, and President Trump is the man who deserves our support."

Alternative reality.
The GOP dysfunction continues.
I think that we are way beyond dysfunction, they have crossed the Rubicon into the twilight zone.
Does trmp have compromising photos of Kari?
She wishes.
Pretty sure he wishes too. Just not for political gain.
"The honorable thing to do now, …
This questionable indictment really looks like the Biden administration interfering in an election. Isn't that illegal?
The result will be a temporary bounce in Trump's numbers, and then he will be back to campaigning and shooting himself in the foot and thus helping the other candidates. DeSantis supporters are very happy!
Also...what will happen to Biden, who had multiple classified documents stored haphazardly in his possession? And this brings us to Hillary's egregious misuse of classified documents was never prosecuted?

What part of the indictment is questionable? Given the details have not been released, how can you deem this questionable?
After all, there is considerable evidence in public domain to make an indictment something to be expected rather than a surprise. Trump’s refusal to cooperate coupled with ridiculous claims of declassification is what put him in hot water.
The best thing about Kari is she's not Canadian.
You can have her. As an Arizona resident, really we don't mind. Go ahead, take her and go to a Tim Hortons... Maybe she'll enjoy it so much she will decide to stay (one can hope). hehe
She's even stupider than I thought... nah...
She is loony toons.
Definitely a total nutjob.
