The Republican described the American Revolution as «our first rumble with the Globalists» following Trump’s arraignment.
Former Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has touted the American Revolutionary War in apparent defense of former President Donald Trump.
Lake cited the war, also known as the American War of Independence, in a tweet on Thursday in response to a comment by Reverend Al Sharpton, who compared Trump unfavorably to Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday to four felony counts tied to attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election outcome and the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol that followed.
Lake has echoed Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him and she has made similar claims about her own defeat in the 2022 Arizona governor’s race, unsuccessfully challenging the outcome in the courts.
On Thursday, Lake retweeted a post from Twitter account Breaking911 which had shared a video of Sharpton, a civil rights activist who sought the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination.
