In her campaign for the U.S. Senate seat presently held by outgoing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), far-right MAGA Republican Kari Lake has recently been making an effort to soften her image.
Lake now claims she was speaking "in jest" when she told "McCain Republicans" to "get the hell out" of a GOP event, and she has come out against an Arizona Supreme Court ruling that makes an anti-abortion law from 1864 enforceable.
But Lake's critics, including conservative GOP activist Meghan McCain and likely general election opponent Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), have attacked her makeover attempt as insincere.
And McCain is calling Lake out for encouraging supporters to "strap on a Glock" during a recent speech in Havasu City, Arizona.
Lake told a crowd of supporters that "the next six months" are "going to be intense" and went on to say, "What do we want to strap on? We're going to strap on our — our seat belt. We're going to put on our helmet or your Kari Lake ball cap. We are going to put on the armor of God. Then, maybe strap on a Glock on the side of us just in case."
The U.S. Senate hopeful continued, "You can put one here and one in the back or one in the front — whatever you guys decide. 'Cause we're not going to be the victims of crime. We're not going to have our Second Amendment taken away. We're certainly not going to have our First Amendment taken away by these tyrants."
McCain had a scathing response in a Wednesday tweet, posting, "This is so irresponsible and dangerous of Kari Lake to say - but what else is new."
The conservative activist and former co-host of ABC's "The View" added, "She tries cosplay as some badass - but she’s just an ex Obama supporter with Vaseline slathered all over her camera doing a s—-y off the strip lounge singer imitation of Kelly Ann Conway."
Back in February, McCain made it abundantly clear that she won't be supporting Lake's Senate campaign.
On February 20, McCain tweeted, "Kari Lake is trying to walk back her continued attacks on my Dad (& family) and all of his loyal supporters after telling them to 'get the hell out'. Guess she realized she can't become a Senator without us. No peace, b—-. We see you for who you are - and are repulsed by it."
