Senate candidate and Trump ally Kari Lake has a cheeky response to Bill Clinton after she described him as “physically attractive” during a campaign event in Arizona. .
She issued a four-point counterattack before President Donald Trump appeared at a rally in Tempe, Arizona.
“I woke up this morning to the news,” she said.
“First of all, you know what? As a middle-aged woman, I’m very happy. I’m honored. You don’t get compliments like that every day.
“Secondly, I thought I was a little too old for him. Doesn’t he like interning?
Senate candidate and Trump ally Kari Lake has a cheeky response after describing Bill Clinton as “physically attractive” during a campaign event in Arizona.
Arizona is a key battleground state that Trump and Kamala Harris have visited repeatedly.
On Wednesday night, Clinton traveled to Phoenix to support Harris, appearing with Lake’s opponent, Ruben Gallego.
“This is kind of a beautiful microcosm of Kamala Harris’ campaign for president,” he said.
“Sometimes they grew up in difficult circumstances, and spent parts of their lives at odds with physically attractive people who believed that politics was performance art, and who, like J.D. There are people who have to step up.” ”
The 78-year-old, who served as president from 1993 to 2001, likely meant “to bow down.”
The famous womanizer’s comments sparked a firestorm, with Lake, 55, clearly tickled by the attention as she continued her checklist of reasons.
“Third, I’m happily married to my husband, Jeff, and he’s here, my love,” she said.
“And number four, which no sane person would want to cross, is Hillary Clinton. It’s just dangerous.
Former President Bill Clinton described Arizona Senate candidate and Trump ally Kari Lake as “physically attractive” on Thursday during a campaign event with his opponent.
Her team was also fun.
“When we heard Bill was coming to town, we knew we had to protect our interns from him, but little did we know, that was the candidate we were supposed to protect! ” said Colton Duncan, Senior Counsel.
Lake, 55, has made a name for himself in the Phoenix area as a television news anchor and has parlayed that into a headline-grabbing 2022 gubernatorial bid.
Although she lost by a narrow margin, the election fraud allegations dovetailed with former President Donald Trump’s own strategy, making her a favorite of MAGA believers.
Since then, she has been trying to tread the middle path, running against Gallego, a Marine Corps veteran and 10-year member of Congress.
She has been closing the gap on Gallego in recent weeks. But six different polls released in the past week or so show her approval rating on average at 43% to his 50%.
Kali Lake is running about 7 points behind Gallego in the Arizona Senate race.

Democrats have won three straight Senate races since 2018, and this year’s contest is for the seat vacated by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who won as a Democratic candidate before becoming an independent.
This is not the first time that Clinton has been accused of gaffes.
At a recent event in Georgia, he focused on immigration, accusing Republicans of blocking legislation that would increase security along the border and strengthen immigration controls.
“We had a case in Georgia a while ago, right? They made an ad about it, a young woman who was killed by an immigrant,” he said, referring to the story of Laken Riley.
“Yeah, well, if everything had been properly inspected, that probably wouldn’t have happened.”
But the Trump campaign quickly seized on his words as criticism of the Biden-Harris administration’s border policies.
