Election Fraud Claims and Defamation Lawsuit
You don't believe that Joe Biden won the election in 2020?
I believe the election was run fraudulently.
And you refused to concede in 2022 as well, your
own contest-
Well, obviously-
You filed unsuccessful lawsuits-
... obviously you're sitting across the pond
and you don't understand what's
happened, and I'm not gonna argue about it with
somebody-
You were sued for defamation.
Yeah.
Because this is how corrupt the system is.
I, I pointed out how they worked our
elections.
You lied about a top Arizona election official. You defamed him.
You falsely accused him of injecting 30,000 illegal votes into
machines, intentionally misprinting-
Yep
... ballots.
Yep. It happened.
Do you stand by those claims?
Yes. It happened.
Would you like to repeat them on air now?
It happened.
You think-
You know, you know what?
... that he intentionally misprinted ballots.
If you-
He sued you for this.
Yes, I know. I'm in the middle of it right now.
It's law fair.
And he said-
And guess what? Guess what
... that you had turned his life upside down.
He said you'd made him-
Listen
... the target of threats of violence-
Emily
... and death.
Emily, I'm in the middle of a lawsuit and I'm not gonna talk about it because I
don't want to m-
uh, work... W- when you're in the middle of a lawsuit,
you don't wanna talk about
it, okay? We talk about it in court. That's where we talk about it.
I feel confident that I've spoken the truth.
But you know what?
I'm-
You made him the target of violence and death.
You saw what happened on the stage on Saturday night.
You heard Donald Trump say, "Let's lower the temperature." Do you
accept the
part you played in inflaming the political rhetoric-
I would never-
... in this country?
You are just part of the fake news and you're lying.
You don't know a damn thing about Arizona.
You don't know one thing about our election,
and you sit there with a smirk on your
face. You're sitting over in England, in, in, in the UK,
in a country that's being destroyed, in a country that's being destroyed.
I guess I'm just asking-
And I really don't-
... what it says about the Republican Party-
You know what? This is the last station
... that they need to lie-
This is the, this is the last station
... to intimidate, to threaten, because you don't believe you can win at
the
ballot box. Why would you need to do that?
You are just a sad case of a human being, and I'm so sorry for you.
I'm sorry that you bought into the propaganda.
I hope that you'll look in the mirror and see that you've been, you've been
following propaganda and you don't understand what's happening
in this country.
So I'm guessing if you don't win in November, you won't
concede. That's the rule that you're playing by now. Is it?
You are... I, I actually think you need your head
examined.
Can you answer that? I think you need your head examined.
Kari Lake, thank you very much.
