How Kari Lake gulped cash from the 'McCain swamp'

Back when Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for Arizona governor, was proudly endorsing a homophobic antisemite Republican candidate for the Oklahoma Legislature named Jarrin Jackson, he posted an image of the two of them with the quote, “I am honored to be endorsed by the #AmericaFirst (and Trump-endorsed) warrior who drained the McCain swamp in Arizona and is now the GOP nominee for governor in Arizona – Kari Lake … ”.

Not long after that, Arizona’s “Trump-endorsed warrior” beat a hasty retreat once she started getting bad publicity for supporting an antisemitic homophobe.

However, the stuff about draining the “McCain swamp” came straight from Lake’s standard stump speech, often mimicked by Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward (currently playing The Joker to Lake’s Harley Quinn).

Lake once told an audience at a campaign event, “This is time to replace the disgusting, dirty McCain swamp with, maybe, I don’t know … a Lake? You need somebody who is going to represent ‘we the people.’ ”
