Republican Senatorial candidate Kari Lake has maintained her offensive against Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) in the battle for Senator Kyrsten Sinema's (I-AZ) Senate seat. Of note, is Lake's hammering of Rep. Gallego for accepting an endorsement from the left-wing Indivisible Project.
Lake made this the subject of a video on X (formerly Twitter), where she said, "Kari Lake’s Democrat Opponent Partners With Soros To DEFUND Police. @RubenGallego says he is HONORED to partner with an Anti-Cop, Open-Borders Organization. I'm honored to be the Woman who is going to keep this Radical OUT of the Senate."
"When you are running for office, you cannot always control who endorses you, but you can control whether you accept that endorsement," Lake added in the video before explaining who the Indivisible Project is.
In 2o19, the Indivisible Project called for the decriminalization of border crossings and defunding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), framing it as "defunding hate."
"Can you imagine a country with no borders? No rule of law?" Lake asked in the video, adding, "When people show you who they are, you must believe them."
Additionally, she cited a 2018 instance where Rep. Gallego seemingly threatened ICE officers, saying, "If you are a US government official and you are deporting Americans be warned. When the worm turns, you will not be safe because you were just following orders. You do not have to take part in illegal acts ordered by this President’s [Trump's] administration."
Lake further pointed out the Indivisible Project has received funding from businessman and philanthropist George Soros, making Rep. Gallego "Soros' handpicked puppet that he is using to spread his sinister far-left agenda to our beautiful state," which Lake said she would "not let that happen."
"We are living with the horrific consequences of Joe Biden's open border. Our country is being invaded, and Ruben Gallego is lending aid and comfort to the radicals that want to codify this invasion," Lake concluded.
The Indivisible Project struck back at the ad on their website, calling it "a smokescreen designed to shift the focus away from her dangerous positions and onto manufactured fears."
