NBC News reports:
Republican Kari Lake and Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego faced off in Arizona’s feisty first and only Senate debate Wednesday evening, trading shots over the border, abortion, tax policy and more.
“We are at a crossroads, Arizona,” Gallego said in his opening statement, highlighting Lake’s repeated election denialism. “We’re going to see and talk to somebody who has really failed the basic test of honesty.”
Asked to say “once and for all” that she lost her race, over which she launched unsuccessful lawsuits, Lake instead referred to a previous question about Arizona’s water crisis and said, “Can I talk about water?”
Read the full article. Yesterday Lake also refused to commit to certifying the result of the election.
.@RubenGallego: “She’s still in denial about the 2022 election. Will you finally tell the people of Arizona did you win or loss that election?@KariLake: “Can I talk about water really quickly?”

When confronted about her constant lies about the ’22 election, Kari Lake wants to finally answer the question on clean water.
Her original answer was “drill baby drill” and something about an article she read about a woman setting her AC to 83 degrees. https://t.co/yhmjO9YMOt
