After tussling over Lake’s repeated allegations that the 2020 election was plagued by voter fraud, an allegation Baier noted was baseless, the conversation turned to alleged hypocrisy on Lake’s part regarding the LGBTQ+ community.
“This is the quote, ‘Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake who has attacked drag queens as dangerous to children attended the shows of drag queenRichard Stephens for 20 years and once hired him to perform at her home,’ Do you care to address that?” asked Baier.
“I do care. I actually do care to address that and I’m really shocked. I’m actually appalled that Fox News would take a defamatory story like that and we are pursuing legal action against this drag queen, I’m appalled that you would bring that up when you have not talked about our stolen election,” Lake said.
Baier shot back, saying, “We just spent three questions” talking about the 2020 election.
As Baier wrapped up the interview, Lake hit him again for bringing up the story that has been grabbing national headlines.
“Here you have me on and try to bring a defamatory story out. It’s really sad,” she concluded.
“Ms. Lake, I really appreciate your time. We thought we would address all issues on the table. That is one of them being covered today,” Baier concluded.
