Kari Lake has issued a statement hilariously thanking outgoing Rep. Liz Cheney for not endorsing her.
Cheney, being the perpetual narcissist she is, released an ad in Arizona on Friday where she took aim at Lake, saying “we cannot give people power who will not honor elections.”
Lake is currently running against Democrat Katie Hobbs for Arizona governor.
“I don’t know that I have ever voted for a Democrat. But if I lived in Arizona, I absolutely would. You have a candidate for governor, Kari Lake, you have a candidate for secretary of State, Mark Finchem, both of whom have said that they will only honor the results of an election if they agree with it,” Cheney said in the ad.
Naturally, being as hated as she is, the ad had the opposite effect of what she intended.

In a letter posted to Twitter, Lake said that her donations are “skyrocketing” after the ad was released — and that her campaign website was so overwhelmed with traffic that it almost crashed.
“Our campaign donations are skyrocketing and our website nearly crashed from traffic as people rushed to learn more about my plan to put Arizona First and join our historic movement,” Lake said in the letter.
Lake said her campaign raised $300,000 on Friday alone, prompting her to call Cheney her “biggest fundraiser yet.”
“In fact, my team tells me your commercial should add another 10 points to our lead! I guess that’s why they call the Cheney anti-endorsement the gift that keeps on giving,” Lake wrote.
“Thank you again for the huge boost to our campaign. Enjoy your forced retirement from politics,” Lake added, referring to her massive primary loss. “I know America will rest easier knowing that one more warmonger is out of office.”
Lake is currently enjoying a strong lead in the polls, beating Hobbs by 11 percentage points.
