Democrat Katie Hobbs is Arizona’s subsequent governor. She’s even up to date her Twitter bio. That’s how official that is. She’s prepared to maneuver on.
Nonetheless, Hobbs’s soft-focus opponent, MAGA loon Kari Lake, received’t let math or a primary respect for democracy get in her method. She refuses to concede the election and blames non-existent voter fraud for her loss. She’s the true Trump candidate, as even election-denying January 6 coup participant Doug Mastriano conceded the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race to Democrat Josh Shapiro.
Final week, Lake posted a rambling video on her social media that used Tom Petty’s 1989 basic “I Gained’t Again Down.” She in all probability ought to’ve scored her pity social gathering with Deee-Lite’s “I Gained’t Give Up.” As a lot as I like Girl Miss Kier and the boys, I doubt they’ve a crew of attorneys on payroll. Nonetheless, Petty’s property rapidly slapped Lake with a cease-and-desist.

Wixen Music Publishing despatched a letter to Lake’s zombie marketing campaign Friday, stating that the loser’s use of the tune “conveys the false implication that the claimants endorse” her, an concept that Wixen referred to as “revolting.”
From Rolling Stone:
“Tom sang ‘I Gained’t Again Down’ on the America: A Tribute to Heroes profit for live performance for the victims of 9/11 assault. Not backing all the way down to hatred violence and an assault on our democracy,” Wixen wrote. “The alternative of what you stand for. Utilizing this tune to advertise your warped values isn’t solely unlawful as outlined above, however an insult to Tom’s reminiscence, his lyrics and music, and the tens of hundreds of thousands of followers who cherish his legacy.”
Lake has in all probability additionally misplaced drunken karaoke rights to the tune, we guess.
The election loser visited once-and-future election loser Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago Friday. I do know Lake is evil, however I have to admit that her outfit was very cool. It was like “Star Trek” alien ambassador from a planet the place nobody accepts election losses.
Lake declared, “They needed to do every part they may do cease us!” In different phrases, extra individuals voted for Katie Hobbs than the loopy woman with impeccable trend sense. Lake accused her enemies of shutting down voting machines on Election Day, however insisted that they’ll’t pour “chilly water on a motion.” The election is over, ma’am. Please go dwelling.
She went on: “You can’t cease the American spirit! You can’t cease the Founding Fathers and the blood we’ve within us, and so I’ll combat what occurred on Tuesday. Our elections are a circus run by clowns.”
There’s no use attempting to confront Lake with info and logic. Why would Hobbs — Arizona’s secretary of state — rig her personal election by a smaller margin than Sen. Mark Kelly beat beat Blake Masters? Why wouldn’t Hobbs and the “McCain machine” rig key down poll races that may’ve helped Democrats maintain the Home?
Lake has additionally shared movies on social media of her supporters who had been mildly inconvenienced on the poll field. That is supposedly proof of widespread election fraud. (These movies don’t steal standard songs from artists who would’ve loathed Lake so that they’re nonetheless up if you wish to waste your time watching.)
One man complained that lengthy traces at his polling place equals voter suppression. Lake ought to crew up with Stacey Abrams and each different liberal activist who opposes Republican efforts to maintain individuals from voting.
Lake spent most of her marketing campaign railing towards early voting and mail-in voting and he or she’s predictably shameless sufficient now to complain when that call blew up in her face. Arizona dodged a barrage of bullets when voters rejected Kari Lake.
