Lake Responds to Bill Clinton Calling Her 'Attractive'

November 5th is less than two weeks away. Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) remains confident she will defeat Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), saying Arizonans will vote for her and former President Donald Trump due to the ongoing border crisis that she said Democrats "just lie about" in a recent appearance on Fox News's Ingraham Angle.

Lake reminded viewers that Rep. Gallego had spoken against the border wall previously "when he called it the dumb, stupid border wall and said he would never, ever, ever build it, and he has voted to have open borders every step of the way."

Additionally, she spoke of visiting the border near Yuma, where "they still have this huge area where about 100 people, 75 people a night come in, and the federal government has put up a banner there basically telling them to go to the CBP One app and telling them how to get housing and where to go."

"It is insane; we are paying for that. The federal government put that app together. But I will tell you this: in January 2025, when President Trump is elected [and] when I am elected to the Senate, we are going to use that CBP One app, and we are going to use it the other way. We are going to find out who came in, and we are going to send them back to their homeland because in order to save our homeland, they have got to go back to theirs," Lake continued.

Host Laura Ingraham noted that Rep. Gallego remains ahead of her in the polls, which Lake brushed off by saying, "My internal polling looks much closer and better. I know what the polling is by talking to the people, and the people are very active right now. They are activated to vote for Trump and me, and they are learning a little bit more about Ruben Gallego. The media has not covered him well; he spent $100 million doing an extreme makeover trying to paint himself as a moderate when he is the most radical left member of Congress that nobody has ever heard of."

Finally, Ingraham pointed to recent head-turning comments by former President Bill Clinton in Phoenix while stumping for Vice President Kamala Harris, in which he referred to Lake as "physically attractive."

"I guess Bill Clinton never changes, right?" Lake joked, "Well, look, I am a middle-aged mom, so anybody who gives me a compliment, I am flattered, but I am happily married, and I am probably too young for him, and frankly, I do not want to get on Hillary Clinton's bad side, that is a dangerous place to be."
