maggieNYT KariLake’s refusal to concede makes her a classless double loser.

Concession is not a requirement. Turn the page.

As a democrat, I recognized Duceys effectiveness as a governor. a class act that loves our democracy

maggieNYT Good for him! Everyone needs to just ignore Lake and her ridiculous claims, the same ones Trump has been shouting for two years which have never produced one single piece of evidence.

maggieNYT KariLake Sore LOSER? Please. Have some class. You behave like a third world citizen!! I am insulting them putting you with them.

maggieNYT Kari Lake is such a sore loser it’s embarrassing that many ppl actually voted for her. 🤦🏽‍♂️

maggieNYT Pls ignore Lake . She can make as much noise as she likes. She lost .

maggieNYT Haha! KariLake

maggieNYT No one needs a concession from a loser. KariLake is a crybaby loser just like her daddy Trump.

maggieNYT Because KariLake is a weak little human.

maggieNYT Kari lake needs mental halo

jeffgoldesq Kari Lake needs to grow up! She lost! Period! 🤷‍♀️

ChristineMRobe6 Did QQQari's head explode? It's too bad that doing the decent thing is admirable these days. I'm a grump I know. I can't forget how he ignored covid. I do like the idea KLake's reaction though. Gross. She did not “fight hard” with her campaign. She hid from Kari and the lefties made Maricopa county look like a bunch of clowns when it was all planned. Sad
