You may have heard that Kari Lake, the Trump-loving election denier running for an Arizona seat in the U.S. Senate, is in an all-out sprint trying to distance herself from her extreme, antidemocratic views. On Tuesday, she faceplanted when Arizona’s Supreme Court declined her request to toss a defamation lawsuit filed against her by a Phoenix-area election official she targeted after her failed candidacy in Arizona’s 2022 gubernatorial race.

On Monday, her lawyer withdrew a notice that Lake would appeal after losing her third lawsuit challenging her election loss. Lake had sought access to more than 1 million ballot envelopes, but now she doesn’t want to move forward with the charade. Some of Lake’s attempted backpedaling has earned mockery and rebuke. This was clearest when she tried to trivialize her attacks on the late Sen. John McCain, seemingly out of concern that his Republican allies won’t back her in November.
