During a recent campaign stop in Show Low, Arizona, Senate candidate Kari Lake, a Republican, passionately criticized what she termed as the unjust conviction of former President Donald Trump. Addressing a sizable audience, Lake expressed her belief that it would require a united effort to counter what she perceived as a political establishment working against Trump for almost a decade.
Lake highlighted the extensive attacks aimed at Trump and his family over the years, emphasizing the toll it has taken. She particularly criticized the recent conviction verdict in Manhattan, where Trump was found guilty on multiple counts related to alleged financial transactions. Lake described the trial as focusing on trivial matters while significant issues such as crime and immigration were neglected.
Expressing her dismay at the verdict, Lake characterized it as “horrible” and “unbelievable,” attributing it to the ongoing direction of political narratives. She defended Trump’s fighting spirit for the country and condemned the media’s portrayal of him, noting the impact on public perception.

Lake’s campaign message also encompassed broader themes, including concerns about the direction of the nation and the need for unity in pushing back against what she described as a “globalist monarchy” in Washington. She called for a return to American values and emphasized the importance of dialogue and collaboration across political divides.
The rally also saw support from Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers, who echoed Lake’s sentiments about defending Trump and pushing back against perceived government overreach and media bias. Both candidates emphasized the need for a united effort to uphold American freedoms and values.
