This week, America will make some very important choices about the future as voters head to the polls in the midterm elections.
The contest has already been a rather testy one, with the vitriol turning to violence in small pockets of the country, and a great deal of wild hyperbole fomenting all manner of concern over the process itself.
Now, in one of the most horrid examples of our current political instability, a popular MAGA candidate for Governor has been targeted in an insidious and terrifying attack.
Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake reacted Sunday to her campaign headquarters receiving “suspicious” items in the mail, vowing to track down the person responsible.
Lake’s staffers were reportedly exposed to a white powdery substance found in packages sent to her office.
Lake was not in the office at the time of the attack.
While speaking with reporters after a campaign event in Queen Creek, Arizona, Sunday evening, Lake was asked about the packages and the health of the staffers who were exposed.
“I have been so busy campaigning. This happened. I was not in the office. One of our wonderful staffers, a couple of them, were actually exposed,” Lake said. “And so far they’re doing OK. We’re monitoring them, and we want to make sure that everything’s OK.”
Lake chalked the suspicious attack up to the current political environment.
The former TV news anchor explained that this was not the first instance in which her campaign has been targeted.
“But listen, we’re in dangerous times,” she said. “This is not the first time we’ve been threatened. I’ve been threatened many times. Our tires have been slashed. We’ve had screws drilled into our tires so that our tires would blow out while we’re on the road. We are living in dangerous times, and that’s why we need to elect somebody who’s strong and a fighter and not a coward. We’ll get to the bottom of this. I really don’t want to get too far ahead of it.”
Lake has aligned herself heavily with Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement – a decision that that had her on the radar of radical leftists from the beginning of her gubernatorial race.
