Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) mercilessly mocked conspiracy theorist Kari Lake Monday night after Lake lost her race for Arizona governor. Last month, Lake tweeted an open letter sarcastically thanking Cheney for running a TV commercial against her, lauding the “Cheney anti-endorsement” as “the gift that keeps on giving.” Lake’s letter signed off by thanking Cheney again for “the huge boost” to her campaign.
After the Arizona governor race was called for Lake’s Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs, Cheney took the opportunity to reply to Lake’s Oct. 28 letter. “You’re welcome,” Cheney tweeted, with the post amassing over 332,000 likes by Tuesday morning. Separately, Lake has already sought to cast doubt on the result of her race, tweeting late Monday: “Arizonans know BS when they see it.” (Daily Beast)
As a frum site Matzav should not be posting the sordid behavior of politicians. Not the obnoxious tweets of Trump and not of his enemies like Cheney and the Democrats. Reporting on policy issues is news. Reporting on their boorish behavior is just a way to help these horrible people have a bad influence.
There are few things less classy than a mocking gloat at someone who lost, doubly so for Ms. Cheney who recently lost a primary (and didn’t even make it to the general election).

When the media calls someone a conspiracy theorist these days, that usually means one or both of two things:
that the individual is telling the truth
that the media is hiding things/lying about things as they often do, at least in politics.
Nobody with a functioning brain could seriously believe that she actually lost.
