Don't buy Kari Lake's fake concern over an Arizona Supreme Court abortion ruling

Not all politicians switch their point of view when they realize their point of view will cause them to lose, just the ones who have no principles.

Enter Kari Lake.

All of a sudden, the failed Republican candidate for governor, a woman thrilled to play Natasha Fatale to Donald Trump’s Boris Badenov, supposedly has decided that the Arizona Supreme Court has made a mistake in its decision to send Arizona to the anti-abortion dark ages.

Lake issued a statement saying, “I oppose today’s ruling, and I am calling on Katie Hobbs and the State Legislature to come up with an immediate common sense solution that Arizonans can support.”Common sense? From Lake?

Kari Lake's record on abortion says otherwise

I’m sorry but … no.

This is a candidate who celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade and supported banning abortion pills.

This is a politician who called abortion “the ultimate sin.”

This is a woman who previously praised the 19th century abortion ban that the Arizona Supreme Court just upheld, saying, “I’m incredibly thrilled that we are going to have a great law that’s already on the books.”

Law is clear: Women must now fight for our lives

The court’s draconian ruling has pretty much assured that the ballot initiative knows as the Arizona Abortion Access Act will pass, and that candidates who have expressed extreme anti-abortion views — like Lake — will lose.

Based on what she’s said in the past, Lake should be celebrating the court’s decision, not condemning it. But that would only be true if the beliefs she expressed are actual beliefs or just political BS.

The record speaks for itself. The kids call that “receipts.”
