She jokingly called \u201cthe Cheney anti-endorsement the gift that keeps on giving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cheney, who was blown out in the Wyoming primary in August and will be out of office in a few months, has begun supporting Democrats running against Republicans in several races.\u00a0Cheney\u2019s Great Task PAC announced on Friday it would spend more than $500,000 on broadcast and online ads against Arizona Republican candidates Lake and Mark Finchem, the GOP secretary of state nominee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have a candidate for Governor, Kari Lake, you have a candidate for Secretary of State, Mark Finchem, both of whom have said that they will only honor the results of an election if they agree with it,\u201d Cheney said in the ad. \u201cAnd if you care about the survival of our Republic, we cannot give people power who will not honor elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the letter to Cheney, which was addressed to \u201cDefeated Member of Congress,\u201d Lake noted that Cheney\u2019s ad buys led to \u201cskyrocketing\u201d campaign donations and increased website traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Lake said: \u201cThank you for your generous in-kind contribution to my campaign. Your recent television ad urging Arizonans not to vote for me is doing just the opposite. Our campaign donations are skyrocketing and our website nearly crashed from traffic as people rushed to learn more about my plan to put Arizona First and join our historic political movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, my team tells me your commercial should add another 10 points to our lead,\u201d Lake added. \u201cI guess that\u2019s why they call the Cheney anti-endorsement the gift that keeps on giving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we appreciate your in-kind contribution, the $500,000 ad buy likely exceeds Arizona\u2019s $5,300 individual contribution limit,\u201d Lake noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you again for the huge boost to our campaign! Enjoy your forced retirement from politics,\u201d Lake concluded. \u201cI know America will rest easier knowing that one more warmonger is out of office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<br \/>\n<ins data-cid=\"46388-3805179323\" data-host=\"web.adblade.com\" data-tag-type=\"4\" data-protocol=\"https\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>The letter ended with a postscript that read, \u201cMake Arizona Great Again!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During an appearance earlier this week on Fox News, Lake spoke with host Tucker Carlson about how Cheney\u2019s anti-Trump efforts have only helped her campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson asked: \u201cI\u2019ve never voted for a Democrat. Well, of course, Liz Cheney is a left-wing Democrat who won\u2019t stop lying. So, in response to that ad, Kari Lake wrote this letter to Liz Cheney, it begins: \u2018Dear Liz, thank you for your generous in-kind contribution to my campaign. Your recent TV ad urging Arizonans not to vote for me is doing just the opposite. Our donations are skyrocketing and our website nearly crashed from the traffic.\u2019 Kari Lake is running for governor of Arizona, as noted, she joins us tonight. Kari Lake, thanks so much for coming on. Is that true?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lake didn\u2019t mince her words with her response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s true. Liz Cheney is now officially my biggest fundraiser to date. We\u2019ve raised a half million dollars since she did the anti-endorsement and people still flocking to our website KariLake.com and donating. It\u2019s been an incredible boom for us in fundraising, so I have to extend a big thank you to Liz. At this rate, Tucker, we might have to invite her to our inaugural ball because we\u2019ll have to thank her for bringing in so much fundraising money for us,\u201d Lake began.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m dangerous to people like Liz Cheney and the folks that she hangs out with and they want to stop people like me,\u201d Lake added.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><main><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><main><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><main><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><main>Those with an enlarged prostate do not know about this simple solution<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: revert;\">via Conservative Brief <a href=\"https:\/\/ift.tt\/sUKhQAe\">https:\/\/ift.tt\/sUKhQAe<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 7, 2022 at 06:05AM FBI Swoops In As Suspicious Package Sent To Kari Lake&#8217;s Offices The campaign for governor of Arizona has gotten intense and now it has gotten terrifying.
