On Monday evening, a projection was made in the Arizona gubernatorial race featuring Democrat Katie Hobbs and Republican Kari Lake: Hobbs will be the next governor of the Grand Canyon State.
HuffPost notes:
Lake has questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election and has said that as governor she would not have certified the results. That was enough for Democrats to worry that Lake was a legitimate threat to democracy, while Lake dismissed their concerns as politically motivated and overblown. To audiences of voters, Hobbs frequently referred to Lake as “that Trump-endorsed, election-denying, media-hating, conspiracy-loving GOP nominee.”
Lake has been fond of trolling Republicans who supported Hobbs, even thanking Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) for not endorsing her:
“Thank you for your generous in-kind contribution to my campaign. Enjoy your forced retirement from politics.”
After the race had been called for Hobbs, Cheney did some trolling of her own.
Other Republicans then joined the fun, piling on with their mockery of Lake’s failed bid.
