() A former Fox News anchor who left the network over its “liberalism” is running for Governor of Arizona as a Republican.
by , June 2nd, 2021
Speaking to The Western Journal, Kari Lake was the Phoenix area’s top-rated news anchor before she resigned earlier this year over the establishment media’s liberal bias.
She hosted the prime-time duo “Hook & Lake” for 22 years at Fox News affiliate KSAZ-TV.
She resigned back in March and said she no longer felt “proud” to work as a member of the media.
Now, she’s running as a Republican to make the state of Arizona better.
Lake said when she had advocated for a “wider range of viewpoints” in the media when she left the business that she was specifically referring to “conservative viewpoints.”
“Hypocrisy, double standards, bias, misleading coverage are all commonplace in society and newsrooms,” Lake said when referring to how the establishment media covers stories with a slant that is so often hostile toward patriotic Americans and people of faith.
On Tuesday, Lake officially declared her candidacy for governor in another video posted on social media.

“That’s exactly what that ugliness and cancel culture and name-calling is meant to do: keep people from speaking out, getting involved and doing the right thing. If we all cower when the media, social media trolls and hateful people try to hurt us, we will never accomplish great things,” said Lake.
“I am running for Governor of Arizona because I care too deeply about this state and the wonderful people who live here to sit on the sidelines and watch us adopt the same policies that left California in shambles,” she added.
“The Democrats around the country and in Arizona have gone CRAZY and if they win the Governor’s seat, they will turn us into California or worse. I want to see my kids remain here in Arizona … and I want my grandkids to be Arizonans. We must ensure the opportunities that brought so many of us here in the first place don’t dry up,” Lake continued.
She also praised GOP Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota and President Donald Trump.
Noem told the people of South Dakota of the risks and let them make decisions on how to protect themselves. Personal responsibility is something Americans need to get reacquainted with. Our God given and Constitutional rights have been trampled-on and it is frightening to watch. I would never force businesses, churches and schools to shut down.
Tell the people the risks, then let them decide how best to proceed.
I admire President Trump. He gave up a lot to run for office. The onslaught of criticism, dishonest and destructive reporting kept people from hearing the good things he was doing for our economy, our security, and peace around the world,” she noted of the country’s 45 president.
Lake also slammed the establishment media for ramping up fear with regard to the coronavirus pandemic.
“The media’s covid coverage was nothing more than pushing panic — and in the process, the media scared a lot of politicians into overreacting,” she said when asked how she would grade Republican Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s performance.
“I wish our leaders would have pushed back against the media whose goal was to scare and drive division. The media thrives when the public is afraid and angry. Politicians should tell them to ‘shove it’ and concentrate on helping the people,” she said.
Lake also challenged the Biden administration’s border policies.
Obviously what is happening at our southern border is a disaster. Think about this, the Mexican criminal cartels are now in control of our borders. They are deciding who comes across. And when the criminal cartels are in charge that means more crime, more human trafficking, and more drugs making their way into our neighborhoods. It’s dangerous, it’s inhumane and it must stop. We need to be in charge of who comes across our border, not the cartels.
“We are at a critical time in Arizona. I fear without a candidate who can win, we will see Arizona decline. We will have far-left Democrats in office pushing an agenda that tilts even more toward socialism,” she said.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

She has quite a bit going for her so far. If I’m not mistaking I used to watch her on the news in Chicago before we moved to Phoenix. She knows… Clearly awaken, not “Woke” brand. Has “woke” been trademarked yet like water in south America? Ugh.
My bad. Crossed synapses. Jenny Milkowski was in Chi and now in the SW. NOT Kari Lake. I stand by the rest. Pretty big of her to step down. I wish her well.
