Arizona GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake is disputing a Washington Post story describing a split between her and Donald Trump.
“I was on the phone with President Trump when I learned the Washington ComPost was inventing another fake news story,” Lake wrote in an X update Monday evening. (emphasis ours)
“We had a good laugh at our sudden ‘rift.’ My friendship with the Greatest President in American History has never been stronger!” Lake reassured her supporters.
The former Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate was referring to an article by the Post Monday claiming, “Tensions grow between Trump and Lake in Arizona race for Senate,” where authors citing “anonymous sources” claimed Trump believed Lake could be a political liability who “will drag down his own prospects in the battleground state.”
In her post Monday, Lake went on to bash the Post for inventing the news item, and reminded audiences the fake news propaganda is firing on all cylinders with the pivotal 2024 election just months away.
“The same people who called terrorists austere scholars and invented a Russian collusion hoax are, once again, fabricating a bogus story,” Lake wrote, adding, “Note to MAGA: this isn’t going to stop.”
“The Fake News is going to work OVERTIME to try and divide us. Between now and November 5th, they will slander and attack anyone that is willing to sacrifice for our Nation. BUCKLE UP! Remember: whoever they are attacking, is who you should be supporting.”
“We will not let them divide this Movement & stop us from Making America Great Again,” she added.
In a statement to Newsweek, Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller issued a message in support of Lake’s Senate bid, saying, “Kari Lake is a Smart and Fearless Leader who will WIN in Arizona, and help us flip the Senate to Republican control. Kari’s Opponent, Ruben Gallego, is an Open Borders RADICAL, who is BAD on Inflation and SOFT on Terrorists and Crime.”
