Kari Lake's Disastrous Interview with Emily Maitlis

A One-Woman Disaster Area

Former TV presenter Kari Lake, the Republican Senate candidate for Arizona, had clearly not gotten the memo when she spoke to Emily Maitlis.

Lake, who is running against incumbent Democrat Mark Kelly, appeared on the BBC show The News Agents to discuss her campaign and the upcoming midterm elections. However, the interview quickly devolved into a train wreck, with Lake making a series of bizarre and offensive statements.

When Maitlis asked Lake about her claims of election interference in the 2020 election, Lake responded by telling her she needed her head examined. She also accused Maitlis of being biased against her because she is a conservative.

Lake's behavior has been widely criticized, with many commentators calling it a "one-woman disaster area." The interview is a reminder of the dangers of giving a platform to candidates who are not prepared for the scrutiny of the media.
