Republican Arizona gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake called for “firing” the federal government on Tuesday over the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida.
The former president announced Monday night that the FBI raided his home in Florida, reportedly in connection with an investigation into the potential mishandling of 15 boxes containing classified documents that were allegedly taken to his private home.
Lake, who Trump endorsed during her primary race, condemned the FBI and the federal government over their alleged attempt to “take down ” Trump in a statement posted to Twitter.
“This is one of the darkest days in American history: the day our Government, originally created by the people, turned against us,” Lake’s statement said in part. “This illegitimate, corrupt Regime hates America and has weaponized the entirety of the Federal Government to take down President Donald Trump. Our Government is rotten to the core.”
I like her! She thinks like I do.
