Failed Arizona candidate Kari Lake suggested she could meet the same fate as Rudy Giuliani after he was ordered to pay two election workers $148 million for defamation.
Lake is being sued by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, who claimed he received death threats after Lake said he "sabotaged" her election.
"And you know, they just sued Rudy Giuliani, the judgment was like $148 million, something astronomically ridiculous for defamation, for calling out our elected officials," Lake said in an interview with Steve Bannon on Thursday. "This is what they're going after me for, calling out our elected officials."
Lake doubled down on her criticism of Richer despite the lawsuit.
"The person behind it is Stephen Richer, he is a guy who runs our elections, and obviously we had rigged elections here in Arizona," she opined, "and I pointed out everything he did wrong, and I stand by every word I said about Stephen Richer, and if they think I'm going to stop using my First Amendment rights, they're crazy."
"I'm not going to," she added. "I can prove everything I said was true."
Last month, a judge ruled that Richer's case could move forward because the First Amendment did not protect Lake's statements.
