Something is wrong with Kari Lake

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

You know, Katie Hobbs of Arizona has kind of gotten a raw deal from the press. The media, always eager to make mountains out of mull hills, has been breathlessly reporting on Insurrection supporter Kari Lake’s every move.

They also have been reporting on Hobbs not wanting to debate Lake. Now it is important to know that many in the media have NOT been reporting on ANY of the dire consequent that would happen were Lake to win.

Nor have they really done a deep dive into Katie Hobbs as a candidate — other than questioning why she won’t debate. Hobbs won’t debate because she doesn’t have time for the shitshow that is Kari Lake. She’s a strong woman. Many call her “afraid” of debating lake. That isn’t true.

How do we know? Because Hobbs has taken more crap from the media than Lake on her worst day. And Hobbs hasn’t wavered. She’s a strong, gutsy woman who knows fake news and fake candidates when she sees them. And Kari lake definitely is a fake candidate. Hobbs has not wavered in her decision which is good for her. She has shown she is courageous.

I am sick of the attacks on her, and I worry that the media is blowing this up again. Just like with Trump, many pundits seem to be drawn in by Lake’s bombastic personality, and because Hobbs is more quiet (and sane), she does not receive as much attention.

In these last few days, we have to get out the vote as never before. Please don’t forget Hobbs. Out of all the races, the Arizona Governor’s race is one of the biggest threats. If Lake wins, Arizona may never see a free and fair election again. Don’t let her win.
