Trump-endorsed Senate Candidate Kari Lake (R-AZ) on Saturday roasted CNN and their leftist reporter during a press conference responding to Kamala Harris’s 20-minute photo-op at Arizona’s southern border on Friday.
Add this to Lake’s history of thrashing the dishonest CNN reporters who try to challenge her with biased questions. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Kari Lake Lake once declined to speak to CNN reporter Kyung Lah and roasted her, saying, “I’ll do an interview as long as it airs on CNN+. Does that still exist?”
During another encounter with Kyung Lah, Lake destroyed her, telling Lah in an interview to “put down Hunter’s crackpipe” after the reporter claimed Joe Biden received 81 million votes.
Lake’s latest CNN bashing came as she was speaking on Harris’s short-lived visit to the border wall in Arizona for just enough time to take photos.
During remarks at Cochise College, Harris claimed that, as President, she would “do more to secure our border” after creating the worst border crisis in history. Kamala’s visit comes on the heels of a bombshell new ICE report, revealing that under Biden and Kamala Harris, over 13,000 murderers, 15,000 rapists, and 425,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens roam free in our country, taking over American towns and jobs. 226,000 more aliens face pending criminal charges.
Before answering the CNN reporter’s question about whether she supports DNA testing children at the border to ensure that they are not being trafficked, Lake, in epic fashion, asked if the reporter believes 20 minutes at the border is enough from Kamala Harris.
Notably, the biased reporter tried to ask a “gotcha” question to Lake by implying there are “concerns about privacy” for children who are possibly being trafficked across the border.
“I have a quick question for you. Do you think that 20 minutes on the border–a 20-minute visit by Kamala Harris–do you think a 20-minute visit by Kamala Harris was enough at the border?” Lake responded to the reporter. “20 minutes? I mean, that’s almost longer than CNN+ was around, just a little bit.”
It can be recalled that CNN’s attempted “CNN+” streaming service failed within just one month.
“I’m gonna withhold my opinion on that,” said the young, timidly soft-spoken reporter. They should have sent a more seasoned veteran to try to stump Lake.
Lake responded to the reporter’s initial questions, citing the 325,000 children who have gone missing under the Biden-Harris Regime and are now “considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor,” per an August report from the Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General.
Responding to the same reporter’s question about whether she is prepared for the upcoming Senate debate on October 8, Lake said she is and came out swinging at her opponent, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), and the fake news media for not covering his voting record and shady background.
Gallego’s past scandals, which the leftwing mainstream media does little to no coverage on, include his involvement in opening a bank for illegal aliens that took money from its clients after falling through, working for a company that settled for $2.8 million in a medicare fraud investigation, and walking out on his wife when she was nine months pregnant to shack up with a DC lobbyist with whom he had a wedding shrouded in mystery. Conversely, “If I sneeze in the wrong direction, you guys write a hit piece on me,” said Lake.
WATCH:
CNN reporter: Are you in support of Trump’s proposal to do DNA testing on detained migrants, I believe, is what the proposal was? And then, how do you balance that with concerns about privacy and storing DNA data for children as young as, you know, 14 and younger? And then, separately, how are you preparing for the debate with Gallego? I know that’s a few weeks away.
Lake: I have a quick question for you. Do you think that 20 minutes on the border—a 20-minute visit by Kamala Harris—do you think a 20-minute visit by Kamala Harris was enough at the border? 20 minutes? I mean, that’s almost longer than CNN+ was around, just a little bit. Do you think 20 minutes was appropriate for Kamala Harris to spend at the border?… I mean, that’s just getting out of the car. That’s walking over to the border wall and maybe chatting with a Border Patrol agent or somebody who’s got information to impart on you. I don’t know how you even do a 20-minute visit. I can’t even fathom that. You know it’s not enough to cover the border, because if any of you went to the border and you have been there, I know that’s not enough to even get information.
President Trump wanted when they came across the border, 10, 12, or 13-year-old girls with two 35-year-old guys, who are saying that they’re relatives; I think it’s pretty appropriate to say, ‘you know what? We want to separate you two out.’ We’re going to get the two 35-year-old guys over here, and we’re going to separate those 10, 12, or 13-year-old girls and figure out if they’re really related, because, God forbid, those 12 and 13-year-old girls end up getting across the border with two 35-year-old guys who are sex traffickers. So, I think it’s absolutely appropriate to do any measure to make sure that the people they’re crossing the border with are indeed family… But better yet, what’s going to happen starting in January is anybody who gets across illegally, we’re going to stop them at the border, we’re going to make sure of who they are, and we’re going to send them back to their families. I want those girls back in the arms of their loving families in whatever country they came from. So I do approve of making sure that they are indeed with family, and then we want to make sure if there are sex traffickers that they are sent back and they’re put in prison.
CNN reporter: How are you preparing for the debate with Gallego?
Lake: I feel like I’m pretty much prepared. I know what time it is with that guy. I mean, I know his record. It’s literally, his record on his bad votes is about this deep. And you know his fraudulent background, where he defrauded Latino immigrants out of their life savings, and he defrauded Medicare, and he walked out on his wife when she was nine months pregnant. And, you know, there’s so much garbage in this guy’s background, and I’m shocked that you guys don’t cover that. Every day, if I sneeze in the wrong direction, you guys write a hit piece on me… If you’re going to lie about this kind of stuff, you’re going to lie directly to the American people. And shame on you guys for not covering it. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but it’s been despicable, the coverage of Ruben Gallego. Every single vote he has cast has hurt the people of Arizona. I can’t think of one that’s helped us. And he also skips out on a lot of votes, by the way. He’s got a truancy record that’s a mile long. It’s like twice as bad as even the worst people, the worst offenders. None of this is being covered by the media. You’re trying to let him skate into the Senate and, by damned, I’ll stop it. I’m going to stop it because I care about this state. I actually live in this state. And on federal forms, he said he lives in Washington, DC; that’s his main residence.
