Republican Kari Lake, the frontrunner in Arizona’s GOP gubernatorial primary race, criticized the longtime political insiders of her party throughout an interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday.

Lake explained to host Matthew Boyle she thinks the Democrat Party and the “old school establishment Republican Party” share a similar “greed and globalism” mentality.

“I see some of the swamp-type Republicans more similar to the Democrats than the America First Republicans. They both want open borders. … They’re both fine with having our businesses moving overseas and not coming back home. They’re not putting our economy first, our workers first,” Lake declared, going on that both Democrats and establishment Republicans have gotten “so far away” from their original tenets “and now they’re just greed and globalism.”

Lake, who is former President Donald Trump’s favored candidate in the primary, has discovered her most demanding challenge in Karrin Taylor Robson, a business owner who has been polling in second place to Lake and is endorsed by Trump enemy Gov. Doug Ducey (R) and propped up by Fox News’s Laura Ingraham.

Robson has outraised Lake $6.4 million to $2.4 million, according to financial reports filed in April, yet over half of Robson’s money has come from self-funded loans.

“She’s trying to buy this election” with her husband’s money, Lake charged. “And I say that because she doesn’t have good ideas. She’s complete— all of her talking points are written by her high-priced McCain consultants. … Her border policy is just a bunch of made-up gobbly gook that they made up, and there are no teeth to it. If you like what’s happening on our border under our current governor, Doug Ducey, then you’ll probably like her border policy. It’s open borders, let them all in, who cares about the people in Arizona. And they don’t want this all to end. They want to have complete control on the money in Arizona, on the resources in Arizona.”

Lake announced of Robson’s supporters and financial capabilities, “This is the McCain machine with his hand up, pulling up from the grave, trying to hold on to complete control of Arizona, and the America First MAGA movement is saying, ‘No, it’s not going to go that way this time.’”

In addition to running as a political outsider and embracing an America First agenda, Lake has earned a reputation for bucking mainstream media in a similar manner to Trump.

The Arizona Republican recently shared a clip of herself ripping into a CNN reporter throughout a brief encounter in June, telling the reporter CNN was “pedaling … propaganda.”

That same month, Lake shared on social media a popular clip of Breitbart News founder Andrew Breitbart from the documentary Hating Breitbart in which he announced “war” on mainstream media outlets. Lake called it her “message to the media.”
