Opinion: Not only is the late senator haunting former President Donald Trump, but also, it seems, Trump’s high-profile toadies, such as Lake.

Apparently, former Sen. John McCain not only resides in the head of Donald Trump, but also sycophants like Kari Lake.
I’m beginning to think that the late Sen. John McCain is even busier in the afterlife than he was during his allotted 81 years on this mortal coil.
He continues driving the fringiest of fringe Republicans to utter distraction.
Most recently, it is Kari Lake, GOP candidate for Arizona governor and voluntarily shameless political handmaiden of Donald Trump.
Several times after the senator’s passing I’ve noted how McCain seemed to take a slight detour on his way to heaven a few years back, stopping inside the head of President Donald Trump, where he took out what appears to be a long-term lease.
Likewise, McCain seems to have haunted Trump sycophants, some of them even before his passing.
McCain haunted Kelli Ward and Wendy Rogers
For example, Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward.

You may recall that during her attempt to win the GOP nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in 2018, Ward suggested that a statement issued by McCain’s family about ending his treatment for brain cancer was intended to hurt her campaign.
McCain also appears to have visited the apparently unoccupied cranium of Republican state Sen. Wendy Rogers, who categorized the former Navy pilot, POW, Republican presidential candidate, and long-time senator in the same company with the traitor Benedict Arnold and the fascist Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
Then again, Rogers does appear to have a slight fixation with the afterlife, recently raging about “satanic demons” posting messages about her online.
Now there is Lake, who said in a recent interview that she believes McCain is “reaching up from the grave trying to keep power in Arizona.”
And more.
Now Kari Lake think’s he’s haunting the GOP
Lake said, “I think we’re learning a lot about what McCain was up to. I just saw a video him from several years back in Ukraine. And he was a very powerful politician. He wielded a ton of power. He ran Arizona with an iron fist. He controlled the entire political scene in Arizona. From top to bottom. And they don’t want to give up that power.
