4:08Now PlayingKari Lake has been in panic mode after the brutal smackdown that she received from Meghan McCain last week, and she let her panic show during a brief interview at CPAC this past weekend. Lake claimed that she didn't want to "fight Americans" because there is so much at stake, but you could tell that she was horrified that her past words about John McCain could cost her the Senate seat that she desperately wants. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Kerry Lake is still having a bit of a meltdown over Meghan McCain's refusal last week to accept her olive branch after, in 2022. Carrie Lake had not only called her late father, the late Senator John McCain, a loser, but she also at an event right before the election in 2022, called for all McCain Republicans to get the hell out of the Republican Party. Carrie Lake understands that she needs the McCain family endorsement in Arizona, still a very well respected family in Arizona, and if she doesn't get it, she's in deep trouble with this, uh, primary that she's facing. So she has been repeatedly trying to make peace with Megan McCain. But Megan McCain said, and I quote here, no Peace. And KA Lake over the weekend at CPAC continued her week long meltdown about Megan McCain's response. See, here's what happened. A reporter did ask Kari Lake at cpac, you know, played her the tape and Carrie, or, or showed her the Post, and Kari Lake said, oh wow. Acting like she hadn't seen it before. Like that, that's what annoys me at first. She's like, oh, wow, you knew she posted that? 'cause you had actually responded to it. You can't act like this is the first time you're seeing it. But anyway, KA Lake goes, oh wow. Well, I really do want peace. I, I wanna come together. I, I don't wanna fight with Americans. There's too much at stake.
Now that's a meltdown. Sure, but what does that, like, I don't wanna fight with Americans. Are you trying to imply that the liberals that you try to fight every single day are somehow not Americans? Like, what, what is that? I don't wanna fight American. Who do you wanna fight then? Like, what country are you looking to go out there and fight? 'cause clearly you wanna fight somebody that you think is not American. So I would love some clarification from Kerry Lake on what nationality she actually does wanna fight, because her statement implies that she does wanna fight just not with Americans, or at least with the people she considers to be Americans. But even before that interview at C Ppac, Kerry Lake had done an interview with KTAR where she said this, she said Republicans need to grow thicker skin and learned to take a joke.
she said that McCain would've laughed off her comments. Yeah, you're a loser. I want all of your people to get the hell outta the party. Isn't that funny, John? I mean, you'd laugh, right? I don't think so. What's funny to me is that Ka Lake is not moving on from this. This is now, uh, been going on for over a week. Ka Lake is still talking about it, still trying to get that endorsement from the McCain family because she has burned all her bridges in Arizona, right? She's off the voters with her phony claims of election fraud in
2022. She off the party apparatus itself by recording secretly their president, who was forced to resign. She's off the McCain family, so she's got the legacy Republicans in the state off at her, and of course, polls show her getting her butt kicked by Democratic opponent, Ruben Gallego. Even if Kirsten Sinema runs and splits the vote, there is no way this race ends right now with Ruben Gallego losing. And if Ka Lake is the nominee, Republicans can guarantee that they're going to get their butts kicked. But y'all seem hell bent on putting her up.
