FORT WASHINGTON, MARYLAND: During a recent gathering of supporters of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, Kari Lake, an Arizona Republican, expressed her belief that the nation needs more leaders like Donald Trump.

During her speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, February 24, she recounted an incident from a year ago when she stood in the same location and described how a party official attempted to bribe her into staying out of politics, per Daily Mail.

Despite her trials and tribulations upon aligning with the former President, Lake maintained her admiration for what she referred to as the "bull in a china shop ideology.”

What did Kari Lake say during her CPAC speech on Saturday?

The 54-year-old former television news anchor is currently vying for the Senate seat in Arizona after unsuccessfully mounting a gubernatorial challenge for the Grand Canyon State in 2022.

Lake addressed the conservative crowd at the annual conference by saying, “I like a strong man. We got way too many weaklings out there.”



 

She continued, “Let me hear from the ladies out there. We're tired of the beta men. We want some alpha men. We got a number one alpha man in Donald J Trump.”

The Arizona Republican then proposed why she should be elected to Washington in the 2024 United States Senate elections.

“Here's the problem. Wall Street has very powerful people back east who are making deals for them,” Lake argued.

She continued, “Big Pharma has very powerful people back east, making deals for them. Military Industrial Complex has very powerful people.” 

“You know what? I think it's about damn time that the people of this country, the American people, have some powerful people back east working for them,” she stated.

Internet trolls Kari Lake for projecting Donald Trump as ‘alpha male’

People on X mocked the Arizona GOP Senate hopeful for telling the crowd at CPAC on Saturday that Republicans have got the “number one alpha man” in former President Donald Trump.



 

One X user remarked, “Alpha men don’t have 91 indictments."



 

Another quipped, "Kari Lake found the only man who can make bankruptcy and losing look like the peak of alpha male evolution. Trump: redefining "strong" one tweet at a time."



 

Someone else argued, "True Alpha men serve our country. They don’t sit on the sidelines calling them all losers and suckers."



 

One user stated, "Donald Trump is a sexual predator, but he is no alpha male. When did being a strongman mean that you whine and act like a victim every single day of your corrupt privileged life?"



 

Another wrote, "An obese draft dodger who brags about assaulting women and calls veterans suckers is an alpha male? Jesus this country is in deep trouble."



 

A tweet read, "An Alpha who owes 500 million in 30 days."
