If there's one thing Lake loves to amplify, it's a poorly vetted conspiracy theory. Here are five memorable features of Kari Lake's descent into the murky depths: ![]() Since no "hit pieces" have yet emerged as Lake predicted - the Arizona Daily Independent got former governor Jan Brewer to give a glowing quote about Lake - we decided someone needed to fill the Gab gap. Lake says she's looking for something closer to home, but only time will tell. Just as Lake has migrated from Twitter and Facebook to Parler and other far-right social media knock-offs, the next logical step for her and her similarly enraptured fanbase would seem to be a spot on one of the more extreme Fox News spin-offs. Her resignation marks the inevitable end of a saga in which Lake burned through the credibility she had established over two decades as a news anchor by increasingly embracing the right-wing misinformation sphere inhabited by former-President Donald Trump's fervent supporters. Lake vehemently denied any connection between the two to Phoenix New Times - more on that later - but the move was reminiscent of her response to inquiries about her promotion of a far-right website and a weeks-long absence from the air by blasting out a statement saying she was taking family and medical leave, and that any questions were meant to damage her reputation and hurt her personally. ![]() Kari Lake completed her transition from nightly news fixture to conspiracy peddler last week, posting a video screed in which she announced her resignation as Fox10 News anchor, railed against the media, and claimed that hit pieces about her would soon emerge.Ĭoincidently, Lake's resignation came shortly after video of her schmoozing at CPAC, a conference for conservative activists, surfaced.
