- Arizona GOP Senate candidate appeared to make veiled threat at event Sunday
- Her ‘strap on a Glock’ remarks was made at Republican dinner in Mohave County
Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake told a crowd to ‘strap on a Glock’ at a recent event as the 2024 election season intensifies.
Lake was speaking on Sunday at a Republican dinner in Mohave County when she told law enforcement and veterans in the audience it is going to be a ‘crazy run’ the next six months.
‘They’re going to come after us with everything. That’s why the next six months is going to be intense,’ Lake said.
‘What do we want to strap on? We’re going to strap on our seatbelt. We’re going to put on our helmet or your Kari Lake ball cap. We’re going to put on the armor of God,’ Lake said.
‘Then maybe strap on a Glock on the side just in case. You can put one here and one in the back or one in the front, whatever you guys decide,’ she said gesturing to her hip.
Lake’s remarks come as there has been a heightened tensions as the 2024 election season heats up and growing concerns over political rhetoric leading to violence.

Far-right Republican candidate Kari Lake is running for Arizona’s Senate seat
Lake is a close supporter of ex-President Donald Trump and has been a vocal critic of the charges against him
‘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,’ she added.
Video of the remarks was posted by NBC News.
The right-wing Arizona candidate and close ally of ex-President Trump said this was the ‘moment we have to save our country.’
Lake said Trump is willing to ‘sacrifice everything’ and claimed ‘they’re coming after us with lawfare.’
DailyMail.com asked the Lake campaign to clarify what Lake meant in suggesting the audience ‘strap on a Glock.’
Trump overwhelmingly won Mohave County on the western side of Arizona with 75 percent of the vote in 2020.
But overall, Arizona is one of the biggest battleground states in 2024 for both the presidential election and Senate race.
President Biden won the state over Trump by just over 10,000 votes in 2020.
This is not the first time Lake has made what appears to be veiled threats.

Speaking last June about Trump’s indictments at an event in Georgia, Lake warned anyone coming after Trump would have to ‘go through’ her and 75 million Americans just like her.
‘I’m going to tell you, most of us are card carrying members of the NRA,’ she said at that event to a crowd.
‘That’s not a threat, that’s a public service announcement.’
