Opinion: Kari Lake on Friday evening called for violence against President Biden and the prosecutor who dares to try to hold Donald Trump accountable. This is outrageous, and totally on brand.

Kari Lake call to arms
The reigning MAGA queen of the GOP has an ominous warning for any who would dare to try to hold Donald Trump accountable for criminal activity.
“I have a message tonight for Merrick Garland, and Jack Smith, and Joe Biden,” Lake said during a speech Friday evening to Georgia Republicans. “And the guys back there in the fake news media, you should listen up as well, this one’s for you.
“If you want to get to President Trump, you’re going to have to go through me, and you’re going to have to go through 75 million Americans just like me.
“And I’m going to tell you, most of us are card-carrying members of the NRA. That’s not a threat, that’s a public service announcement.”
She got a standing ovation.
