There’s nothing like self-declared “small government” conservatives avowing to expand government authority when they get into power. Oh, actually, there is. It’s called fascism when that candidate declares–as Arizona Republican gubernatorial nominee and future Fox cable host Kari Lake does here–her government will decide what constitutes journalism during her reign.
“I’m not only going to be governor of Arizona for four years, I’m gonna do two terms,” Lake asserts because she’ll never accept the results of any election she loses. “I’m gonna be your worst freakin’ nightmare for eight years. And we will reform the media as well. We’re gonna make you guys into journalists again. So get ready. It’s gonna be a fun eight years. I can’t wait to be working with you.”
