Raw Story: 'Don't touch me!' Conservative says Kari Lake unleashed 'manic rage' on him at MAGA event

Raw Story - 'Don't touch me!' Conservative says Kari Lake unleashed 'manic rage' on him at MAGA event

In a column published by The Bulwark, Never Trump conservative and former GOP strategist Tim Miller describes his encounter with Lake at a recent event hosted by far-right MAGA Republican James O'Keefe. Lake, according to Miller, made it clear that she wasn't the least bit happy to see him.

Lake, Miller says, angrily told him, "Don't touch me," described him as "fake news" and a "liar," and repeatedly said, "You are a piece of s--t."

"Conspiracist" Laura Loomer, according to Miller, was among the attendees and intervened.

"Loomer made her way through the crowd of onlookers, stood next to Lake and echoed her assessment that I was a lying POS, but in a tone that was more appropriate for a public gathering," Miller recalls.

"Loomer's calm disdain, mixed with curiosity about my presence, seemed to cause Lake's manic rage to peter out. Throughout Kari's tirade, I think I mostly smiled awkwardly. Though who can say? Unless she releases the video, I can't be sure what I looked like."

Perhaps running the Voice of America isn't what she was after; not content to be Trump's Goebbels.

The whole fucking lot of them are insane. If we're lucky, they'll be too busy trying to destroy each other, that they can't do much damage to the country, and to the rest of us.
