Kari Lake calls Kamala Harris 'not intelligent' in echo of Trump's new attack
Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) took a cue from her party's presidential nominee, Donald Trump, claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris was "not intelligent."
In an interview on the right-wing War Room program Monday, Trump adviser Jason Miller pushed Lake to blame Harris for a stock market downturn.
"How is that impacting — and then Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket — how is that impacting your race and the people that you're talking to, to say, the economy is going to hell, and we're potentially heading into World War III?" Miller asked.
"I mean, it's the worst of all things, kind of a culmination of the worst of all things that could happen," Lake opined. "And this is what happens when you allow two people who are not intelligent, don't know what they're doing, as president and vice president, to sit in the White House."
"And this is exactly what happens," she added. "We need competency, not incompetency and corruption."

Over the weekend, Trump defended his decision to back out of an ABC News debate with Harris.
In a series of posts on his Truth Social platform, the former president said Harris had a "low IQ" and lacked the "mental capacity" to debate him.
