Kari Lake calls on other GOP candidates to suspend campaigns and back indicted Trump
Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake Thursday called on the Republican candidates challenging Donald Trump for the presidential nomination to suspend their campaigns and back the former president despite his federal indictment.
Lake in a bonkers appearance by phone on “The Gorka Reality Check” with host Sebastian Gorka called President Joe Biden a “vulture” and suggested he should be arrested over unfounded bribery allegations – not the former president who according to multiple reports is facing charges over the handling of classified documents in possible violation of the Espionage Act.
Lake’s suggestion came in response to an assertion from Gorka that the federal indictment “will make (Trump) more powerful and more popular, will create even more fundraising for the president.”
“They've actually they've actually made him the nominee tonight, haven't they on the left?” Gorka asked Lake.
“I feel like he was a nominee before, but I agree with you, and I really hope that the others who are running, which is silly anyways, we know President Trump won, he won with more votes than any in the history of this country in 2020, and these other people running against him need to speak out step forward and say we support President Trump, that this is outrageous what our corrupt government is doing to him, and we're going to suspend our candidacies and we're going to stand behind President Trump because we stand for America.
“We cannot have an America if our government just gone this rogue and this corrupt. So I hope these other guys and women running will have a night where they think about what's happening and realize that we need to rally around the one man who's standing up in the gap for the people of this great nation.”
She didn’t get much pushback from the host.
“Yeah, that's an amazing, amazing suggestion,” Gorka said.
“The honorable thing to do now, in protest of this political persecution is for the other 10 nominees to say no, we withdraw, and President Trump is the man who deserves our support.”
