Kari Lake’s 'bile-filled and breezy' book is 'a grievance-packed audition' to be Donald Trump’s VP: columnist

Failed Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate and stalwart 2020 election denier Kari Lake's new book Unafraid: Just Getting Started "is a grievance-packed audition" to be former President Donald Trump's running mate in 2024, according to a scathing review authored by The Guardian's Lloyd Green early Sunday morning.

"Like her idol, Lake is simultaneously embittered and energized by the electorate's rejection. The pair occupy the same wavelength. Reality is an inconvenience," Green explained of Lake and Trump.

Green recalled that Trump "wrote the book's foreword" and that Donald Trump Junior was its publisher, which underscores Lake's ascent the highest echelon of Trump World's inner sanctum.

"What happened to Kari Lake on 8 November 2022 is one of the most egregious cases of 'highway robbery' in any state's history," Trump groused. "Kari Lake's story does not end in defeat, because she is just getting started!"

Lake, who lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs by seventeen thousand votes, penned a "bile-filled and breezy" narrative in which "introspection takes a holiday," Green opined. "Lake trashes high-profile LGTBQ+ Americans, embraces Paul Gosar of Arizona, one the most extreme and incendiary members of the Republican party … and demands national unity."

Green also pointed out Lake's hypocrisy regarding her once-support of Barack Obama, to whom she donated while he sought the presidency in 2008.

"Lake contributed to Obama's campaign shortly after National Journal ranked him as the most liberal senator," said Green, who added that Obama's "liberalism wasn't a negative for Lake, until it was. The line between conviction and convenience is often blurry."
