Lake, the GOP’s gubernatorial candidate in Arizona, was speaking to a crowd of supporters on Monday when she made the remark.
“It is not impossible to protect our kids at school,” Lake told a crowd in Scottsdale. “They act like it is. Nancy Pelosi, well, she’s got protection when she’s in D.C. Apparently, her house doesn’t have a lot of protection.”

AZ: Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake joins Christian Worship singer Sean Feucht for a Freedom & Faith Concert at the Orange Tree Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona USA on October 27, 2022.
The crowd of supporters broke out in laughter after the remark.
She continued: “If our lawmakers have protection, if our lawmakers can have protection, if our politicians can have protection, if our athletes have protection, then certainly the most important people in our lives, our children, should have protection.”
New details emerged on Monday about the violent Oct. 28 attack on Paul Pelosi, husband to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), in which the attacker admitted to planning to break Nancy Pelosi’s kneecaps to “show other members of Congress there were consequences” for their actions.
PAUL PELOSI ATTACKER CHARGED WITH ASSAULT AND ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING
The Justice Department released an affidavit from FBI Special Agent Stephanie Minor on Monday detailing the events that occurred at the Pelosis’ San Francisco home.
According to the affidavit, the attacker, David DePape, told police that he was waiting for Nancy Pelosi to come home so he could hold her hostage and talk to her.

“If Nancy were to tell DEPAPE the ‘truth,’ he would let her go, and if she ‘lied,’ he was going to break ‘her kneecaps,'” the affidavit stated. “DEPAPE was certain that Nancy would not have told the ‘truth.’ In the course of the interview, DEPAPE articulated he viewed Nancy as the ‘leader of the pack’ of lies told by the Democratic Party.”
DePape generally stated that he wanted to use Nancy Pelosi to “lure another individual” to him, but the affidavit did not specify who the person was.
