Kari Lake is a republican candidate for office.
And so obviously in 2022,
she has to assure you that she despises the LGBTQ plus community totally hates.
It doesn't recognize the trans community and in particular is very worried about
the threat posed on a daily basis by drag queens.
She's been posting about social media with this tweet not just a couple of days ago
saying they kicked God out of schools and welcomed the drag queens.
I don't have any issues with that as historical analysis of the US.
They took down our flag and replaced it with a rainbow.
There's literally flags like every school.
They do the pledge of allegiance in public schools anyway.
They seek to disarm Americans and militarize our enemies.
I don't even know what that's a reference to.
Let's bring back the basics, God, guns and glory.
So that's who she is.
Also back on June fourth, she tweeted.
Put out a tweet condemning drag queens.
Then too she tweeted a video of a drag queen performing in front of kids in
Texas.
My God and said this is grooming, this is child abuse.
Maybe that's acceptable in Dallas Texas but
it will not be tolerated in a KariLake-led Arizona.
Weird burn of conservative Dallas Texas by a republican there.
But anyway just the fact that there were drag queens is grooming.
Those drag queens,
by being near kids obviously wanted to have sex with the kids.
That is clear to her.
What isn't clear is how any of this is consistent with the apparent way
that she lived her life before she decided to be a candidate for office because she
was outed by Richard Stevens who performs as drag queen, Barbara Seville as
having previously been very fond of drag queens and their performance.
You can see Kari Lake on the left there, standing with a drag queen.
Now, Richard Stevens included several photos of him and Kari Lake and wrote,
I've performed for Kari's birthday, I've performed in her home with Children
present and I performed for her at some of the seediest bars in phoenix.
As Marilyn Monroe in front of Lake's daughter, who's around nine or
10 at the time.
And he said that he reiterated that he performed inside Lake's home.
And he said, I spoke up because her alarming rise to power under these new
views are scary and can lead to real harm to me and other marginalized people.
Now, we will have her response to this in a moment but Francesca.
I mean like I often say like I jokingly say nobody could see this coming, but
in this case I don't know that I would have predicted it, but no.
She was perfectly fine with drag queens until she was trained by her party from
one moment to the next.
They all decided drag queens are the greatest threat facing America and
they need to be eliminated.
>> Bless him.
My God for speaking out and saying no, I was hired and
like she's got terrible interior design.
Let's just be honest.
Like I just wanted him to keep going.
And your kid was there and this wasn't the first time I performed for
you and there's a photo of us.
It's so ridiculous.
And on top of that, like I think obviously coming for
the most fabulous is terrible, right?
And we should all speak up, right?
Because then we can say, first they came for the fabulous,
I didn't speak up because wasn't fabulous.
And so you have to speak up if you think you're fabulous.
The point is that I think the whole thing is
conflating it with just being gay in general and
like the idea basically that being gay is anti-American.
That is somehow with no consciousness that there are currently
people in our military serving overseas right now who are gay.
>> Yeah. >> In law enforcement,
everywhere who are gay and now they're being told essentially,
no they're anti-American, that they don't matter,
that their identities, that they're who they love is inherently treasonous.
I mean and again, this is what Christian nationalist fascism looks like and
it's all coming to a head.
But of course it's a projection.
Of course she hired them.
>> Yeah, by the way, this shouldn't need to be clarified.
But being a drag queen does not mean that you're gay, doesn't mean that your trans,
these are all different things.
Does she know?
Do any of them know?
I assume she does since she apparently hung out with drag queens.
So she knows at least a little bit about the community.
Those aren't the same thing at all, but wright has no idea.
They don't know about the difference between gender and sex.
They don't know the difference between gender and sexual orientation.
That these are ones like a fundamental identity.
The other is who you're sexually attracted to.
They don't know any of this.
They just know that, like we need something to be really mad about.
We got a lot of traction out of the gay thing a few decades ago.
Let's just do that again.
And let's lump everything into it.
>> And the fact that dragons are performance.
It is literally an art form as a performance.
And I know we're gonna talk about this, but like, it doesn't involve stripping.
I hate when people think that it is stripping.
It's not stripping?
>> Yeah, there are like straight cysts people stripping that they're
attacking as drag queens.
>> Yes.
>> So do they have an issue now with Mrs. Doubtfire?
Is Tootsie a big issue?
Again, this is all just so artificial.
And so still again, identifying it as artificial.
It's not saying that it's not important.
Obviously the fact that we talk about this a couple of times on every show over
the past few months implies that we do think it's important.
It's important because of the damage that we've done in real people's lives.
But it is a total artificial construct.
They just decided this is what we're going to freak out about.
And because their followers are piranha, just desperate for meat to be thrown into
their river, they're like, yeah, no, the trans community, we're gonna consume that.
That's what's happening right now.
>> So now our boys are showing up at drag shows.
>> Yeah, exactly.
And where is that gonna end?
Everyone knows.
Now, Kari Lake has responded to the perfect identification
of her obvious hypocrisy.
She knows who she hung out with in the past.
She did all of this for political opportunism.
And she tweets, it is truly disgusting that this even has to be addressed, but
adults should not undress in front of children or sexualized them in any way.
Which isn't any of what we're talking about.
And she knows that she's continuing to lie.
The media is the enemy of the people and frankly the right hand of the devil.
She wants to be a governor.
And she says journalists are a tool of Satan, okay?
She responds to Richard Stevens or whatever.
Say that it's a public attack to point out what she did.
Stevens has been radicalized in recent years.
So it was an unradical drag queen that you were hanging out with before I guess.
I don't know.
Anyway, goes on to say like clockwork,
the fake media will latch on any story regardless of its validity.
No, you're in the photo like we know what you did.
Anyway, and they wrote a hit piece against Kari's daughter for
working a Turning Point USA.
What the hell needs to happen to make them report on Joe Biden's son.
But you want them to report on Joe Biden's son.
Ergo you think it's okay to report on the children of politicians?
Like again, there's no consistency whatsoever to any of this.
Why is the media fighting so hard to defend the grooming of our children?
You know that it's not grooming, you hung out with them.
You had drag queens perform for your children.
And there's nothing wrong with that because a performance
by a drag queen is not the prelude to sex with a child.
You understand that as well as everyone else does.
It is absolutely 100% disgusting that you would lie and pretend that you don't
understand that so that you can potentially win a political office.
That is so disgusting.
It should be utterly disqualifying.
But I saw the responses to that tweet of hers and
people seem to buy her explanation.
They don't think that it's inconsistent.
They know that actually that checks out.
Yeah. >> Serve him.
You can do it, serve a lawsuit.
Let's see if you win.
