Kari Lake has gained more by losing her fight to become Arizona's next governor than she would have if she had won. Even as she challenges the results, likely knowing she's going to fail, the up-and-coming Republican has secured speaking slots at major upcoming Republican events in addition to appearing on conservative media dozens of times since her failed election. She has conned her way to the top of the Party, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Failed Republican gubernatorial candidate from Arizona. Carrie Lake has conned her way into the hearts and minds of conservatives all over the United States. After the state of Arizona officially and formally certified their election results last week, Carrie Lake had to refile her election challenge lawsuit claiming that there were just so many irregularities that we can't trust anything. And she filed this falsehood ridden lawsuit once again because she had actually already filed it. In case you weren't aware of that, Carrie Lake had actually filed the lawsuit before Election day, making the same claims that she made in the lawsuit that she just refiled. Um, and the state had to tell her, Hey, listen. Um, you can't file the lawsuit until after the election has been certified. Uh, definitely not before the election even happens, which you've done, which is how we know it's totally bogus because you are predicting things are gonna happen and that's not how the law works.
The judges really did have to scold her legal team for doing that. So they dismissed that suit. She waited for everything to be certified, refiled the same piece of garbage with a couple addendums. And, uh, it stands absolutely no chance of making it anywhere through the court system. She is not gonna get that election overturned. There were not irregularities that, you know, disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of people as she maintains. But the big point is that none of that matters. That's not what Carrie Lake is doing. Carrie Lake, who by the way, has spent several weeks off and on at Mar-a-Lago since her failed election, has already become a Republican superstar because that was the goal. Carrie Lake won more by losing than she would have if she'd actually won that election. Right? If she had won the election, she'd actually have to go and govern.
She'd have to do things. She'd be busy, she'd be in the office. She wouldn't be able to travel around the country doing stupid stuff. But that is exactly what she is doing right now. As I mentioned, she has spent several weeks at Mar-a-Lago cuz she's got nothing better to do, technically unemployed I guess at the moment. Um, but she's also going to be the featured speaker at an upcoming Turning Point USA Conference. Uh, she just announced over the weekend that she is also going to be a featured speaker at an upcoming log cabin Republican Conference. She is on conservative media pretty much every single day, you know, with her over filtered face. She got exactly what she wanted. She has become famous people finally, outside of the state of Arizona know who the hell she is. People outside of Arizona care, who she is. So this loser, this individual that has not
Won anything in her life for the Republican Party, is now somehow the darling of the Republicans. She has failed upwards and she will continue to get speaking gigs. She will continue to go on conservative media until one of them eventually offers her a job. And if you don't think that that's gonna happen, then you are kidding yourselves. That's what she's gunning for. She wants to be the face hell.
