Opinion from EJ Montini: A high priestess of prevarication, Lake borrows not from righteous pastors of good will but from self-serving con artists like Jimmy Swaggart or Jim Bakker.
She has done so not by waging a political campaign but by preaching the gospel of conspiracy, the dogma of disinformation.
She is all hellfire and brimstone, a technique not borrowed from righteous pastors of good will and ministerial humility, but from shady, self-serving televangelists like Jimmy Swaggart or Jim Bakker. Preachers whose gullible flock has not quite grasped the message in Matthew 7:15, which reads, “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves.”
My favorite among such self-righteous con artists might be Louisiana minister Jesse Duplantis, who said thatFrom the beginning, Kari Lake’s gubernatorial campaign had the feel of a jihad. There were no opponents, only enemies, some of them within her own party, like when she said at a campaign rally, “We don’t have any McCain Republicans here do we? Well, get the hell out!”Now, she preaches that Arizona must be “saved” and that she, apparently, is the savior.
With that in mind, Lake brought her ministerial minstrel show, featuring conspiracy evangelizers like Republican state Sen. Wendy Rogers, home to Arizona on Sunday, spreading her dark message at her “Save Arizona” rally at Orange Tree golf club in Scottsdale.. We are truly fighting pure evil right now.”Saving Arizona is only a rallying cry, a call to arms. It’s not the goal. The goal is to maintain the impression that Arizonato be saved, and that Lake is the only person who can do so.
