Kari Lake a top contender to become Trump's ambassador to Mexico

Kari Lake is a leading contender for the nomination as Donald Trump’s ambassador to Mexico, two people familiar with the situation told Semafor.

Lake won Trump’s endorsement in both her unsuccessful bids for statewide office in Arizona. The former news anchor and vocal proponent of stringent border security lost an Arizona Senate bid last month to Democratic Sen.-elect Ruben Gallego. She also lost a race for Arizona governor in 2022, although she has never officially acknowledged that result.

A staunch Trump ally, Lake has remained close to the president-elect over the last few years, backing his unproven claims that the 2020 election was stolen. During her most recent run for office, Lake sought to moderate some of her positions, particularly on the topic of abortion.

...spit it back in her face, and make her look stupid. Kari Lake can fuck off, fuck all the way off, and when she gets there stay fucked off.

She's no longer a TV anchor person, and keeps losing elections. Wonder how she supports herself?

I didn't follow the details of Senator-elect GALLEGO's battle beyond this keyboard support and my vague impression that he is a decent human, but he was on The View today and some of the details of her filth campaign were astounding. Not that I imagined she would be better, but as with RAYGUN, W.Shrub, and Drumpf, however detestable I expected things to be, they turned out to be far worse than I could fathom.

He said she laid into horrible dredging of family hurt.

….to get her out of the country and not have to deal with her crazy rantings. Why not make MTG ambassador to Nauru while he’s at it?

17. Please make her an ambassador. I think Afghanistan or Syria are good choices! Iraq comes in third place.

If we had diplomatic relations with N Korea or Iran, I would recommend those two.

Just send her there, and tell her to ask for the American Embassy when she gets there.
