Press swarms Kari Lake after Katie Hobbs runs away
Trump-Endorsed Republican Gubernatorial Nominee Kari Lake spoke yesterday at the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry gubernatorial forum, sponsored by far-left Amazon, which separately featured Lake and Democratic Nominee Katie Hobbs.
Afterward, she took questions from the fake news media and destroyed them with her answers. As we reported earlier, Kari was asked about the potential of being President Trump’s Vice President, and she gave the PERFECT response.

Lake told The Gateway Pundit, “I did a great press hit with everyone, and because they couldn’t find anything for an attack piece out of what I said, they just didn’t run anything.”
Kari Lake and Katie Hobbs did separate interviews at the forum because Hobbs still refused to appear on any stage next to Lake.
This is unprecedented. For the past 20 years, candidates for statewide office have allowed voters to hear them speak on the Citizens Clean Elections debate stage.
Lake previously told The Gateway Pundit, “The Chamber of Commerce is doing an event with both of us, but she refused to get on stage with me, so they’re doing it separately where she appears, and then she leaves, and I appear. What a coward.”
I was supposed to be up on stage with @katiehobbs at this Arizona Chamber of Commerce forum.
Instead, I’m watching from the Audience because she’s a coward. I’ll be speaking next, stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/ZqwQrb6K4u

After her interview, Hobbs bolted for the exit, dodging questions from The Gateway Pundit and CSM Media.

Kari Lake, on the other hand, took on a barrage of press after leaving the stage. Unlike Katie, Kari Lake is fearless.

Kari Lake War Room tweeted a photo from Katie Hobbs’ viral fled interview with The Gateway Pundit, calling her out for the weak “flight” response.
Katie Hobbs is all flight, and Kari Lake is all fight.
.@katiehobbs is a scientific marvel.
Most human beings are programmed with a fight-or-flight response.
Katie is ALL FLIGHT.#DebateLake pic.twitter.com/v8dspuzyQy

Immediately after an incredible forum by Kari Lake, she took even more questions from The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson and all media outlets in attendance, slamming the fake news propagandists once again.
Lake recently shredded the fake news media at another presser outside her office.

Kari again rejected and triggered Fake News Stacey “Karen” Barchenger from the far-left Arizona Republic for asking a stupid question. Barchenger is the same “journalist” that Kari Lake previously destroyed in an interview, so embarrassing for the Arizona Republic that they didn’t even air it!
The other reporters tried to hit Kari with terribly phrased gotcha questions about her latest request for a real debate. “I’ve been wanting to have a debate… I will not agree to a forum that my opponent wants. We are doing that tonight. We need to be on stage,” said Kari during the forum.

Reporter: You said you wouldn’t take part in the forum that Katie Hobbs proposed. Can you elaborate on that?
Lake: Let’s rephrase that the way that you should as a journalist. I will take part in the debate, as proposed and as we’ve seen for the past 20 years. I’m absolutely ready, willing, and able to debate Hobbs any day of the week. But I’m not going to do a forum which isn’t even a forum. She can’t appear on stage with me? That’s an embarrassment. That’s an embarrassment that she’ll put us on late-night TV, that we have somebody running who can’t even show the courage to appear on stage. How the heck is she gonna go after the cartels if she can’t face me on a stage? She has no policies. She has a racist past. She’s twice convicted racist, and she knows that’s gonna come out. She even admitted in court to never hiring an African American. The woman is a monster. Uh, we can’t let her anywhere near the ninth floor. And you can put that on your show, and hopefully, you’ll put the whole thing on.
Conradson: I noticed that your opponent, Katie Hobbs, just about sprinted out of the building after she spoke on stage. What do you think of that?
Lake: Well, I think she’s afraid. I mean, isn’t it sad that she can’t appear with me on stage? It’s really sad. We cannot elect a coward. There’s way too many issues facing Arizona right now. serious issues. We’ve got a wide-open border. We have the cartels running the show. We have a water issue that could turn into a crisis if we get the wrong person in there. We have businesses that are thriving, but they’re going to very quickly not be thriving with someone like her combined with a recession that Joe Biden is putting us in and she doesn’t have the courage to stand up and talk about her policies because she doesn’t have policies. That’s the God honest truth. So, it’s sad that she’s that fragile. And we can’t have someone like that in office.
Barchenger: Who are the environmental terrorists that you talked about?
Lake: I don’t talk to your paper because it’s a rag.
