Kari Lake’s New View on Abortion in AZ

by

Alternative Fact

“I’m incredibly thrilled that we are going to have a real law that’s already on the books.  I believe it’s ARS-13-3602.  So it will prohibit abortion in Arizona except to save the life of the mother.  And I think we’re going to be paving the way and setting course for other states to follow.”

Kari Lake supporting an 1860’s AZ law banning abortion, The Conservative Circus, 6/23/2022

Fact

Kari Lake is personally pro-life.  Her position on a federal abortion ban is clear: she opposes it.  Just like President Trump, Kari is opposed to the territorial law and is calling on the State Legislature [Arizona] to fix the issue.

RFK Jr. on on January 6th: Critical Thinker?

Alternative Fact

“I have not examined the evidence in detail, but reasonable people, including Trump opponents, tell me there is little evidence of a true insurrection. They observe that the protestors carried no weapons, had no plans or ability to seize the reins of government, and that Trump himself had urged them to protest ‘peacefully.’ birth — is unacceptable, and almost everyone agrees with that.”

RFK Jr. Statement, 4/5/2024

Fact

A statement from the U.S. Attorney’s office on April 5, 2024 said 129 defendants charged in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack were charged with “using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer.”

See PolitiFact Fact Checking article regarding the obviously false statement.  It is also disturbing that any adult alive during this event could claim they do not have enough evidence to form their own opinion about whether the event was an insurrection.  There was abundant video evidence, in some cases filmed by the rioters,  played on most reputable news outlets continuously for months after the incident.
