Raw Story reports:
Failed Arizona candidate Kari Lake said it is “probably true” that a “CIA coup” took control of the United States and caused her to lose the 2022 election for governor.
During an interview billed as having a “mega-bombshell,” conspiracy theorist Pete Santilli repeatedly pushed Lake to talk about what he believed was a CIA-backed coup d’état. “I will raise a trillion dollars for any candidate, including President Trump and yourself, that says, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, this is a CIA coup.’ This system is so corrupt, and the courts have been corrupted.”
“What you’re saying, I’m absolutely sure, is probably true,” Lake replied. “And I haven’t looked at all the evidence, but nothing would shock me anymore.”

Santilli appeared here yesterday when he blamed the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria on God’s anger over Sam Smith’s Grammys performance.
The day after Pete Santilli urged his listeners to literally attack Pfizer plants, Kari Lake appeared on his show and agreed with Santilli’s assertion that her election loss was part of a “CIA coup.” https://t.co/PCpI5Cb0DA pic.twitter.com/MmAO2N4psD
