Arizona’s Kari Lake may not be in the governor’s mansion, but she is all over social media.
The former Phoenix-area television host has refused to accept her bruising defeat to Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) nearly six months after the election took place and is spending her time doubling down on claims she is the true victor. She has also made a handful of appearances at Republican gatherings from Iowa to Mar-a-Lago but is now turning her attention to heckling her own hecklers.
KARI LAKE HAS YAWNING LEAD IN HYPOTHETICAL ARIZONA REPUBLICAN SENATE PRIMARY POLL
Lake took to social media this week to reiterate her wish to debate an unidentified agitator who called her a “fascist liar” during a speech she made at the University of Iowa earlier this month.
“F*** you,” the man added.
Other attendees in the crowd supported Lake, calling the man a “scumbag” before he got up and left.
“Oh, he ran,” Lake said, adding, “I will have a debate with that guy any day of the week.”
On Wednesday, Lake took her beef to Twitter.
“As a mom, I’ve dealt with toddlers throwing temper tantrums & teenagers acting out,” she tweeted. “Thankfully, my kids outgrew those stages. Sadly, the same can’t be said for this loser who scurried off in fear. If he grows a set of cojones, I’d be happy to debate him.”

Lake had been a rising star in the Republican Party before she took a hard right turn and aligned herself closely with former President Donald Trump and his debunked claims of election fraud. But it might not be over for Lake.
Even though she lost the general election, many believe she could be the future of Arizona politics.

A poll conducted by J.L. Partners of 550 likely Arizona Republican primary voters showed Lake holding a monster 28-point lead over her nearest GOP rival for a U.S. Senate seat. The survey, conducted from April 10 to April 12, showed Lake leading the pack with 38% of the vote, followed by her primary rival Karrin Taylor Robson with 10%, Mark Lamb with 8%, Blake Masters with 7%, Abe Hamadeh with 4%, and Jim Lamon with 2%.
