Arizona Republican Kari Lake has responded with fury to a series of allegations about her relations with people described as antisemites that were first made by online nonprofit Media Matters, and then included in an article published by Arizona Central, the digital arm of Phoenix newspaper The Arizona Republic, which since appears to have been removed from its website.
Lake shared a tweet from Arizona House Democrat Ruben Gallego, linking to the article and claiming she had "shown us exactly who she is," on X, formerly Twitter.

* CONGRESS ELECTIONS STATE ELECTIONS LOCAL ELECTIONS VOTER INFORMATION
Katie Hobbs (D) defeated Kari Lake (R) and seven other candidates in the general election for governor of Arizona on November 8, 2022. Doug Ducey (R) was not able to run for re-election due to term limits.
Hobbs, a former social worker, was the secretary of state at the time of the election. She was first elected to the position in 2018. Previously, Hobbs served in the Arizona State Senate from 2013 to 2019.
She also served in the Arizona House of Representatives from 2011 to 2013. Hobbs said she would "veto unabashedly any further restrictions on access to reproductive health care, whether that’s family planning, birth control or further abortion restrictions.”[1] Hobbs also campaigned on border security, saying she would work "in coordination with those border communities, especially law enforcement, about the resources and support we can provide from the state to make sure that they have the tools they need to keep their communities safe."[2] Former President Barack Obama (D) endorsed Hobbs on October 20, 2022.[3]
Lake, a former news anchor for Fox 10 News in Phoenix, said she was "running ... on a platform of common sense conservatism dedicated to individual liberties, low taxes, limited regulation, and protecting Arizona's great Western heritage."[4] Lake campaigned on border security, addressing homelessness, banning critical race theory in school curriculums, and school choice.
[5][6] On protecting the border, Lake said, "After I take my hand off the Bible, we are going to issue a declaration of invasion. We are going to finish President Trump's wall, and we are going to send our armed National Guard to the border and stop people from coming across."[7] Former President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Lake in September 2021.[8]

..."In its article, Media Matters noted that Lake had initially endorsed the Oklahoma state Senate run of Jarrin Jackson, who the outlet reported largely agreed with the racist conspiracy theory that Jews are "taking over the world," though she later rescinded her support.
Media Matters also noted that in July Lake appeared on the podcast of Michael Scheuer, a former CIA officer who had previously claimed Jewish people are "unreliable and increasingly anti-American."
In November 2021 and February 2023, Media Matters reported that Lake had appeared on programs hosted by streamer Stew Peters, a white nationalist who it says described Judaism as a "death cult."...

Heck Chip...if anyone invests I am sure that intheir stock portfolio somewhere there are investments in firms and companies that have had antisemitic policies or comments...have you ever heard the phrase "Go jew them down" meaning get a better deal? I have and I cringe everytime I have heard it. But because I was friends with the person that said it (I corrected them) does that mean that now I have allegations of antisemitic relations? My point is that anyone can dig deep enough to find something on everyone...don't care what anybody says you want to dig deep into your past and can't...run for office and see what floats up in the surf. Politics is dirty and the more mud you sling the dirtier the lens gets that you are looking through on a candidate. This is for both sides. Now I am not a Kari Lake fan and if she truly has antisemitic ideations then she has to go but again...politics 101...throw allegations loudly then if you are wrong apologize quietly on the back page of section three of the newspaper.
