Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is misrepresenting the voting record of her opponent, Democrat Katie Hobbs, charging in a video released this week that her work in government shows Hobbs is “Anti-American and Un-Arizonan.”
Lake’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment. Sarah Robinson, a spokesperson for Hobbs, said in a statement that “Kari Lake’s latest political theater is just another distraction from her own extreme positions.”“As a legislator, Hobbs actually voted to block the Pledge of Allegiance, our National Anthem, our Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and even the Mayflower Compact from being taught to the next generation of Americans right here in Arizona.
“The state statute already set forth the items that may be read or posted in school buildings, including the National Anthem,” said Paul Bentz, Republican pollster in Phoenix. “None of those items were in question.” As a state senator, Hobbs did sponsor a bill to require school districts to teach sex education in grades K-12. The bill, which didn’t pass, would have resulted in parents being required to proactively remove their child from being taught the curriculum, rather than opting in to participate.
Governor Lake!!🇺🇸🇺🇸 Get used to it!!👍🏼
Fact check: Kari Lake is a prolific liar and completely unqualified to run Arizona. KariLake
Is it so hard to simply call an intentionally told falsehood a lie. 'Distorts' is way too generous of a term for what this is.
lake should be in an asylum not running for governor
Fact check: all politicians lie.
Why won’t Hobbs debate her then? This woman is a fraud and will destroy our state. We do not want to be California.
She lies about everything. Shocker! KariLake
So what's new? Republican insurrectionist lie about everything. It's the only thing they have besides hate. And they are going to continue to lie as long as they are voted for. The only way to stop the lies is to stop voting for them.
lake lost me at 'do nothing Ducey'. Ducey is a great governor.
Fact check: this account is shitlib propaganda promoted by Twitter
Of course she does, she’s a republican.
Kari Lake is a serial liar. She cannot stop lying. It is pointless to pay attention to what she says because it is always a pack of lies.
Fact check: Kari Lake is 🦇💩 crazy.
Kari Lake is a 🤥🤡.

Kari is a fake and a fraud!
Nothing like your paper distorting the 2020 election and Jan 6.
This is a big concern when voting for someone who doesn't have a background in politics.
Suggest you rename your business to dnccentral because there is no difference. Also notice dnccentral won't publish policy diffs but rather launches attacks / smears against Repubs. Because they know Repubs win on the issues. The good news is few people read their propaganda.
Katie Hobbs voted against that bill to likely appease radical Marxists in her party, and voted for the sex ed bill. that's her record.
you are not trustworthy. The fact you have 'journalists' on your team accusing Kari Lake of Anti-Semitism for merely pointing out Soros funds corrupt DAs to push bail reform, proves you have an axe to grind as a partisan political operative.
