Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate and all around fraud Kari Lake said at a campaign event Tuesday that if Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were alive today that they would both be all in on the MAGA agenda and supporters of the Orangeutan.
Yeah, right. And if your crazy ass was locked up up in an asylum where it belongs we’d never have to worry about you being a governor, Kari.
Sheesh.
“If MLK, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. were alive today, if JFK were alive today, if our founding fathers were alive today, they would be America first Republicans.”

“Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake claimed on Tuesday that if Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had not been assassinated by racists he would have been supportive of Donald Trump and the far-right movement.
“I’m a true believer that if MLK, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. were alive today, if JFK were alive today, if our founding fathers were alive today, they would be America First Republicans,” Lake promised. “I really believe that.”
King’s daughter called Lake’s claim absurd and noted that saying something like that was being dismissive of her father’s “seminal work and beliefs.”
Actually, King’s daughter Bernice had more to say to the opportunist Lake, who was all in for Barack Obama in 2008, but saw greener political pastures in MAGAland and embraced Trumpism with the fervor of religious convert when she calculated that was the better play.
Bernice King told her to read a book:
Dear @KariLake:
What you share here is false and dismissive of Daddy’s seminal work and beliefs, including:
•Ending/preventing voter suppression
•Treating all, including immigrants, with dignityI invite you to study my father via https://t.co/CrTgmzSrti#MLK https://t.co/9BESeOYSSA

Ms. King’s followers had a lot to say also.
It made me sick to hear that woman say that the HONORABLE Dr. Martin Luther King JR would be a MAGA Republican today, Jesus take the wheel She gave me the vapors…what’s wrong with these people? Have they never heard the Dr speak? Know what he stood for?

It makes absolutely no difference to Lake what Doctor King and Bobby Kennedy said or advocated for, Holly, she just uses their memory to advance herself with her Q believing followers.
Ms. King, with all due respect, I believe you should start debating these repugnant individuals. Cause as much as you want them to actually do real research on your father's work, they won't and don't care to. They only want to misuse what he said to further their lies. #Truth

Imagine the kind of answers you’d get if you questioned a Kari Lake crowd about VERY basic American civics, government, and history.

Take those names out of your mouth, @KariLake–you are NOT worthy.

Narrator: This is a lie. She, in fact, does not truly believe that. But being a powerful grifter, she's keenly aware of what her audience wants to hear

From the state that tried so hard to keep MLK Day from being a national holiday. They were forced into it. Face it, the right hated MLK even more than they hate Biden and the Squad. He was a threat to their way of life. What revisionist history!
— Driver Carries No $$ (@BackleyBruce) October 19, 2022
Yup.
This is obscene

Absolutely.
In fact, Kari Lake, we’re MLK and RFK still here the country would be in a much better place and you would probably still be a weathergirl.
Shut the hell up.
There really should be a law, First Amendment notwithstanding, against permitting people to speak in this manner, especially when the subjects are no longer around to defend themselves.
This particular instance is especially egregious given the manner of death for the two subjects.
Kari Lake is beneath contemt.
Just once when some asshat makes such a comment I’d LOVE to hear the person they’re talking to say “The bathroom is that way.” When the asshat says “Why are you telling me that” the response would be “Because saying something THAT stupid means you are completely full of shit!”
Yes Virginia there is a reason the ‘c’ word is a valid description of those rare members who fit the definition.
A Kennedy as a republican. Are you sh*tting me. MLK as a republican. Did this queen go to school. No wonder they try to cut school funding all the time. This queen is dumber than owlsh*t!
