'I'm just here for THE National Anthem': Republican stayed seated during black national anthem at Super Bowl



Kari Lake was apparently sitting down at the Super Bowl during the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing," which is commonly called the black national anthem.

"The @NFL played two different 'National Anthems' tonight. Someone just sent me a photo of @KariLake sitting during the first one," Benny Johnson tweeted when sharing a photo of Lake.

"I'm just here for THE National Anthem," Lake replied.

\u201c@bennyjohnson @NFL I\u2019m just here for THE National Anthem\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\u201d
— Benny Johnson (@Benny Johnson) 1676246163

"I'm against a 'black National Anthem' for the same reason I am against a 'white National Anthem,' a 'gay National Anthem,' a 'straight National Anthem,' a 'Jewish National Anthem,' a 'Christian National Anthem,' and so on," Lake noted in a statement, according to Fox News Digital. "We are ONE NATION, under God. Francis Scott Key's words ring true for every single American Citizen regardless of their skin color. James Weldon Johnson's 'Lift Your Voice' is a beautiful song, but it is not our National Anthem."

Lake expressed support for comments posted by Zeek Arkham, who tweeted, "My 'black' National Anthem is the same anthem I've been singing since I was a child. The same one children of all races have been singing. My National Anthem never needed a color. Do they want racism to die, or do they want to keep finding ways to divide us all?"

"I love this," Lake noted when retweeting Arkham.

\u201cI love this.\u201d

Lake, who lost Arizona's 2022 gubernatorial contest to Democrat Katie Hobbs, is slated to speak at CPAC's Ronald Reagan Dinner next month.

Lake has claimed that she did not lose the governor's race: "I didn't lose. I won. They stole this," she said.

\u201c.@KariLake: \u201cThey thought that being new to politics, they would steal the vote of the people of Arizona in broad daylight, and I would just walk away going it\u2019s too big of a hill to climb, of a mountain to climb.\n\nThey picked a fight with the wrong person. I didn\u2019t lose, I won.\u201d\u201d

Katie Hobbs' husband treated 10-year-old boy for gender dysphoria: Report



The husband of Arizona Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Katie Hobbs, is a member of a "gender support program" at a Phoenix hospital and once treated a transgender youth patient who was just 10 years old, an explosive new report claims.

Hobbs' husband, Patrick Goodman, is a child therapist at Phoenix Children's Hospital and a licensed professional counselor affiliated with PCH's "Gender Support Program." PHC claims to be "committed to excellent gender-affirming clinical care for youth and their families." It also boasts that it is "the only children’s healthcare system in Arizona with a comprehensive Gender Support Program made up of recognized experts" — experts such as Goodman.

Goodman is even listed on an undated flyer promoting the PHC Gender Support Program. Among other gender "services," the program offers "[c]onsultation for the use of medications to suppress puberty" and "[r]eadiness evaluations for puberty suppression and cross-sex hormonal therapy" for youth progressing "through their gender identity development."

Through his work with allegedly transgender children, Goodman was eventually named in court documents associated with a lawsuit filed against the state on behalf of three transgender children.

In the lawsuit dated Nov. 4, 2020, one of the plaintiffs is described as a 10-year-old boy who claimed to be a girl, beginning when he was just "two-and-a-half years old." The boy, identified only as Jane Doe, has elsewhere been linked to Goodman. A court document associated with the lawsuit and dated Nov. 9, 2020, identified Goodman as "Jane Doe's mental health provider" and claimed that Goodman was "expected to testify regarding Jane's health and well-being absent injunctive relief."

The "injunctive relief" in this case is elsewhere identified as "a corrected birth certificate," or a birth certificate which corresponds to Doe's gender identity. The lawsuit demands that Doe and two other transgender youth be issued a new birth certificate which reflects their gender identity, even though they have not received transgender surgery. Arizona law forbids underage persons from undergoing such surgery, though they can be given puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

According to the Daily Wire, the case remains open, and a court has "approved the plaintiffs’ request to compel information from the state on several questions after the plaintiffs filed a new complaint." It is unclear whether Goodman ever testified in the case.

Hobbs' Republican opponent, Kari Lake, shared the Daily Wire story on Twitter, calling it a "bombshell" and alleging that Goodman "profits off ... minors who want to transition."

\u201c\ud83d\udca3 BOMBSHELL \ud83d\udca3\n\n@KatieHobbs is an avid supporter of gender reassignment surgery on children in Arizona.\n\nNow we know why: Her husband profits off it as a therapist "treating" minors who want to transition.\n\nHorrific.\n\nhttps://t.co/NKJOqTt6y0\u201d
— Kari Lake (@Kari Lake) 1667520229

Hobbs, who is the current secretary of state of Arizona, has adamantly supported transgender treatment for minors. In March, she excoriated current Governor Doug Ducey (R) for banning trans surgery for minors, "on the eve of International Day of Transgender Visibility," no less.

"My heart goes out to the entire LGBTQ+ community, especially our youth, who are being targeted and discriminated against by their own government, and being denied their freedom of identity," a statement from Hobbs read. "This week, Governor Ducey and the Republican legislature took an ax to civil rights in Arizona. They’ve stripped women of the freedom to choose, imposed new barriers to voting, and now they’re denying trans Arizonans the freedom to be their authentic selves. These laws will have long-lasting and devastating effects on trans people, their families, and their communities."

Two weeks later, Hobbs tweeted: "Anti-trans bills don’t help protect children and families—they hurt them. I’m heartbroken Governor Ducey signed these cruel bills into law, and I’ll never stop fighting for Arizona’s trans community."

The RealClearPolitics polling average currently lists Lake with a small lead — just under two points — heading into the midterm election on Tuesday.

Kari Lake dunks on GOP outcast Liz Cheney, thanking her for 'generous in-kind contribution'



Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake dunked on Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming by thanking the GOP lawmaker for her PAC's ad urging Arizona voters to support Democrats during the upcoming election.

An ad from the Cheney-sponsored PAC, the Great Task, features Cheney saying, "I don't know that I have ever voted for a Democrat. But if I lived in Arizona, I absolutely would." Cheney claimed that GOP Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem, who is running for Arizona secretary of state, and Lake have each "said that they will only honor the results of an election if they agree with it." Cheney says, "If you care about the survival of our republic, we cannot give people power who will not honor elections."

"Honor" www.youtube.com

Politico reported that the Great Task indicated that it will shell out $500,000 to run the ad on broadcast, online, and streaming platforms.

But while the ad is meant to steer people away from backing Lake, the candidate claimed that it is actually boosting her campaign.

"Thank you for your generous in-kind contribution to my campaign," Lake declared in a message directed toward Cheney. "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."

"Thank you again for the huge boost to our campaign! Enjoy your forced retirement from politics. I know America will rest easier knowing that one more warmonger is out of office," the note read.

\u201cThank you, @Liz_Cheney.\u201d
— Kari Lake (@Kari Lake) 1667001915

Cheney, a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, lost her primary earlier this year to Trump-backed opponent Harriet Hageman.

Cheney is a pariah in the GOP who was ousted last year from her role as House Republican Conference chair.

She has even endorsed Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan.

"The Great Task is a multi-candidate PAC sponsored by Congresswoman Liz Cheney that is focused on reverence for the rule of law, respect for our Constitution, and a recognition that all citizens have a responsibility to put their duty to the country above partisanship," according to the PAC's website. "The Great Task is designed to educate and mobilize Americans in a unified effort to ensure that our Republic endures."

Democrat Katie Hobbs was a no-show at a Hispanic town hall where Kari Lake thrilled voters



Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs (D) was a no-show at a town hall event hosted by Spanish-language media Wednesday, while her Republican opponent Kari Lake not only came to the event but was a hit with the crowd.

Lake spoke for more than an hour addressing questions on K-12 education, public safety, immigration. She received loud applause for her answers, all the while standing next to an empty podium that was reserved for Hobbs. One of the event organizers said that Hobbs, who currently serves as secretary of state for Arizona, declined an invitation to participate. Members of the audience booed upon learning that Hobbs would not appear alongside Lake.

\u201cTwo candidates are announced, only one walked out. Where are you, @katiehobbs? These Latino voters deserve better.\u201d
— Kari Lake (@Kari Lake) 1665021287

The Democratic candidate has refused to participate in debates, calling her GOP opponent a 2020 election "conspiracy theorist." Hobbs campaign manager Nicole DeMont said in September any debate would give Lake the opportunity to "just create another spectacle" and that "you can't debate a conspiracy theorist." Those comments were made after the Hobbs campaign negotiated with the Citizens Clean Elections Commission to change a potential debate format into separate half-hour interviews with a moderator. The commission turned the campaign down, and since then there has been no agreement to have a debate.

Democratic strategists have begun to worry that Hobbs' refusal to debate and her comparative reluctance to do in-person campaign events will backfire with voters in what's considered a toss-up race. Whereas Lake organizes large rallies and speaks to reporters frequently, often to challenge their questions, Hobbs has run a quieter campaign with smaller gatherings and fewer press conferences.

"There's a lack of charisma," one anonymous Democratic strategist told ABC News on Wednesday. "And I think it's a challenge on their end because they're not confident when they go out, so their response to that is to try and do as little publicly as possible and try to sail to the finish line. And the ramifications of that are not everybody seeing you be visible."

The strategist, who requested anonymity to discuss the race frankly, said declining to debate Lake was a missed opportunity.

"Missing that was an error. I think a lot of the reasoning around that was 'oh, well, she's just gonna say crazy stuff anyway, let's not give her the platform,'" the strategist said. "But what happened with that was … voters missed out on seeing them next to each other, they missed out on seeing Hobbs be the adult in the room and Kari be bombastic."

Meanwhile, Lake has taken the opportunities Hobbs has given her to accuse her Democratic opponent of "hiding" from voters. After Wednesday's town hall, the Lake campaign shared a photo of Hobbs' empty podium with the caption, "They say a picture is worth a thousand words."

\u201cThey say a picture is worth a thousand words.\u201d
— Kari Lake (@Kari Lake) 1665022653

"She does not have the courage to be on this stage," Lake said of Hobbs during the event. "She says, 'I don't want to be there' and she says 'Kari's a conspiracy theorist.' Well, then, show up and call me out. I'm happy to have a dialogue."

"I'll be honest. I don't like the idea of being on the stage with a twice-convicted racist, but this job is so important that we need to stand up here and debate these issues and tell the good people of this state what we plan to do for our citizens," Lake said, referring to a controversy involving the firing of an African-American policy adviser by the Arizona state Senate in 2015. Hobbs was the Democratic minority leader in the Senate at the time.

Talonya Adams was fired by the state Senate after complaining that she was paid less than her white colleagues. She filed and won two civil lawsuits against the Senate alleging sex and racial discrimination. Hobbs was not named as a defendant, but she and her chief of staff were called to testify in the cases. Adams was paid $300,000 in damages on Sept. 21, 2022.

It was inaccurate for Lake to say Hobbs was "convicted" in those civil cases, but Hobbs was not present at the event to defend herself.

"I wish, by the way, that my opponent were here," Lake said. "The people here in the media, some are from national media, they never pin her down on where she stands."

"The media chases after me," Lake continued. "I always speak to the media, but she won't answer the questions. She won't answer the questions and she didn't have the courage to be here."

\u201c.@KariLake: "I always speak to the media, but she won't answer the questions. She won't answer the questions & she didn't have the courage to be here. I think that should tell you something. She's hiding something. What is she hiding? I think we know: her terrible record."\u201d
— Kari Lake (@Kari Lake) 1665025277


The Hobbs campaign insists that its strategy will prevail in November.

"Arizonans are rejecting Kari Lake's extreme and dangerous positions that are so far outside the mainstream," campaign manager Nicole Demont said in a statement to ABC News on Wednesday. "We're confident that sanity will beat chaos and Sec. Hobbs will be elected in November."

Watch the town hall event:

Kari Lake puts on a clinic for how pro-life Republicans should respond to abortion questions



Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake performed a rhetorical jiu jitsu flip of a reporter who tried to corner her on abortion at a speaking event.

"Tell me, if abortion is effectively banned in the state right now, tell me, is that something that you support?" a reporter asked Lake at the RNC Hispanic Community Center in South Phoenix last week. The Donald Trump-endorsed firebrand responded by turning the reporter's question around to highlight her Democratic opponent's abortion-rights extremism.

"I support saving as many lives as possible," Lake answered. "And what I really want to know, and I've been waiting — I tune into you guys all the time — I want to know where Katie Hobbs stands. But I never hear you guys ask her that."

\u201cWATCH: @KariLake on Abortion. \nAlso \u2014 where is @katiehobbs?\u201d
— Kari Lake (@Kari Lake) 1664670734

"I'm pro-life," she continued. "My plan would be that every woman who walks into an abortion clinic know that there are options out there, they don't have to choose that. There's families who would love to adopt a baby. And right now, the way it's been going, they go in and they only have one option. Nobody tells them that there's other options."

Abortion has surged to the forefront of Arizona state politics after a judge ruled that the state's 1864 law banning nearly all abortions should be enforced after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Katie Hobbs, the Democratic secretary of state for Arizona, seized on the issue and vowed to repeal the abortion ban if elected governor, calling out Republicans for remaining silent on the state's abortion ban.

"Make no mistake: if elected governor, Lake will seek to further take away Arizonans’ reproductive freedoms and put millions of peoples’ lives on the line," the Hobbs campaign said in a statement.

“Under this ban, it’s Arizona women and families who will suffer the most,” Hobbs said. “And as a mother, I’m furious that my 20-year-old daughter will have fewer rights than I did 50 years ago. The overwhelming majority of Arizonans support access to safe and legal abortion. This decision is a direct affront to what we the people, the voters, Arizonans, want.”

At a press conference Saturday, Hobbs added, "We deserve the health care that is our right, and access to safe, legal abortions, period."

Lake sidestepped the reporter's question on the Arizona law and demanded that journalists get more specifics from Hobbs on what limitations, if any, she supports for abortion.

"We want to help our women," she said. "If they're afraid we want to help them. We want to give women health care. And I want to help people. But I really challenge you, and I'm happy to get back to you on this when you find out where Katie Hobbs stands. Because let me tell you where she stands. She supports abortion right up until birth and after birth. She supports if a baby survives a botched abortion that that baby die on a cold metal tray. And none of you ever try to get her to try to talk about her stance. So get back to me after you do."

Liz Cheney threatens to leave Republican Party if Trump is the nominee, vows to help Democrats win Arizona gubernatorial race – Kari Lake fiercely fires back



In last month's Wyoming primary, Liz Cheney lost in a landslide to Harriet Hageman – the Trump-backed candidate. Cheney was obliterated by a whopping 37.4 points – the second worst defeat for a House incumbent in the last 60 years. Despite the overwhelming lack of support from GOP voters, Cheney is attempting to dictate the direction of the Republican Party.

Cheney appeared at the Texas Tribune Festival on Saturday, where she threatened to leave the Republican Party if former President Donald Trump becomes the GOP's 2024 presidential nominee.

"I'm gonna make sure Donald Trump — I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure he's not the nominee," Cheney told Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith. "And if he is the nominee, I won't be a Republican."

\u201c.@Liz_Cheney says if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee in 2024, she will not be a Republican. #TribFest22\u201d
— Texas Tribune (@Texas Tribune) 1664068418

Smith asked Cheney if she would consider running for president to prevent Trump from a second term, and the congresswoman replied, "I certainly will do whatever it takes to make sure Donald Trump isn't anywhere close to the Oval Office."

Cheney added, "Knowing what I know now, I would not have voted for Donald Trump."

Cheney also pledged to defeat another Republican America First candidate – Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.

"I'm going to do everything I can to make sure Kari Lake is not elected," Cheney declared.

"I think we have to do everything we can in '22 to make sure those people don't get elected," she said of Lake and Republican Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. "We have to make sure Mastriano doesn't win."

\u201c.@Liz_Cheney: \u201cI\u2019m going to do everything I can to make sure Kari Lake is not elected.\u201d\n\nDoes that include campaigning for Democrats?\n\n\u201cYes.\u201d #TribFest22\u201d
— Texas Tribune (@Texas Tribune) 1664067224

Lake fiercely fired back at Cheney for going against her own political party during an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

"That might be the biggest, best gift I have ever received," Lake jokingly told host Maria Bartiromo. "I mean, the people in Wyoming can't stand her, I'm pretty much sure the people of Arizona don't like Liz Cheney."

"The Republican Party, the new Republican Party, is the party of we, the people," Lake slammed Cheney. "It is no longer the party of warmongers."

"Liz Cheney probably should change her voter registration," Lake quipped. "Turns out she really is a Democrat after all."

\u201c.@KariLake responds to Liz Cheney\u2019s pledge to campaign against her: \n\n\u201cThe New Republican Party is the Party of \u2018We The People,\u2019 it is no longer the Party of Warmongers.\u201d\u201d
— Kari Lake War Room (@Kari Lake War Room) 1664130937

On Twitter, Lake mocked Cheney's humiliating defeat, "She's putting more energy into electing Democrats than she did into winning her own primary lol."

Cheney also attacked House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and said he should never become Speaker of the House.

"At every single moment, when our time of testing came and Kevin had to make a decision … he’s made the politically easy-for-him, or the politically expedient, decision instead of what the country needed," Cheney blasted McCarthy.

Last month, Cheney vowed to support opponents of Republican election deniers – even if that means helping Democrats defeat members of her own party.

Cheney – the Republican daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney – has garnered support from legacy media and Democrats for her anti-Trump stance and being the vice chair of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Video: Pro-abortion protesters try to storm Arizona state Capitol, lawmakers 'held hostage.' Kari Lake calls the event a 'real insurrection.'



A pro-abortion protest escalated into a tense situation where police had to use tear gas to disperse the mob gathered outside the Arizona state Capitol.

Hours after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday, approximately 8,000 pro-abortion protesters demonstrated outside the Capitol in downtown Phoenix, according to KTAR-FM. The protest began at 7 p.m., and featured protest signs that read: "Keep your Bible off my body," "Why are old men making laws on my body" "forced birth is fascism," "You're killing us," and "my body my rage."

Protesters amassed around the Arizona state Capitol on Friday night – when the state senate was in session.

Shortly before 9 p.m., law enforcement declared the pro-abortion protest an unlawful assembly.

Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake shared a video of the mob outside the Capitol with the caption: "The left is showing everyone what a REAL 'Insurrection' looks like right now in Downtown Phoenix. This is domestic terrorism. The Arizona national guard should have been deployed hours ago, @DougDucey Arrest these animals immediately. They are out for blood."

Republican state Senator Michelle Ugenti-Rita shared a video of protesters slamming on the window.

Townsend later said, "Everyone is okay, and we are finishing our work."

Arizona State Republicans stated, "While the Senate is now secure & safe, unfortunately smoke/tear gas has spread into our chambers."

Senate President Karen Fann issued a statement, "We are incredibly thankful for our local law enforcement who quickly intervened during what could have been a destructive and dangerous situation for our members, staff and public inside the Senate."

Kim Quintero – the Republican Caucus’ communications director – noted, "Violent pro-abortion protestors’ attempts of an insurrection at the Arizona State Senate were thwarted Friday night, thanks to the swift actions from local and state law enforcement."

There were numerous violent outbursts during pro-abortion protests in several U.S. cities on Friday night.

CNN reporter tries to 'ambush' GOP candidate Kari Lake, IMMEDIATELY regrets it



CNN senior national reporter Kyung Lah thought she'd caught Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake off guard when she asked for an impromptu interview outside an event, but ended up sorely regretting her decision.

Lake, a former Fox news anchor, shook hands with Lah as she approached and immediately pointed out that the CNN reporter wasn't wearing a mask any more, a barbed reference to a contentious interview in October 2021, in which Lah smeared the GOP candidate as a “rising star of the right-wing and proud spreader of lies." Lah asked if Lake had “a minute to chat.”

“I’ll do an interview," Lake answered, "as long as it airs on CNN+. Does that still exist? I didn’t think so, because the people don’t like what you guys are peddling, which is propaganda. Thank you.”

Lake then walked into the event, leaving Lah utterly speechless.
