Lake, during her spirited remarks, gave the audience a taste of the Republican plan to reform the “Fake News.” The Senate candidate threatened the licenses broadcast media networks get issued by the Federal Communications Commission. “We’re going to take a long, hard look at the FCC licenses that these people have. We give them those licenses, and they lie to us,” she said.
Voters tired, but resilient
At one point, Lake asked how many people had already voted, and a majority of hands went up. She advised those voting in person next week to not get out of line until they cast their ballots.
“I know we’re all sick and tired of the commercials. We’re sick and tired of just the heaviness of this political season, but in three days, we save our country, we take back our country,” she said.
Despite having already cast their ballots, many voters say they are attempting to keep their energy high during these final days of voting. Barri Marion and Sam Odle stood in line to grab yard signs after the event. They’ve seen former President Donald Trump at a rally before. “He’s here in Arizona nonstop,” said Odle.
Marion said she stood by Vance’s arguments for closing the border and bringing an end to human trafficking. Democrats are running “commercials four to one against us. The money that they have raised compared to what the Republicans have raised is a whole different ball of wax. But at least the Republican Party speaks the truth,” she said.
Odle is tired of the ads, too. To him, Trump and Vance stand for freedom and fairness. “Everybody should be treated equal. … That’s what we need to return to. And if you look and see what Trump actually did with his policies, you know, I call it fairness. Make America fair again.” He hopes Election Day brings change.
Mark Hackert, retired, 69, said he feels “excited for the conservative movement.” This is his first rally in years.
“I would typically vote on Election Day … but this is the first time I voted early,” he said, pointing to the printer and voting machine failures that have hurt voters’ trust. “Most people here voted early.”
“My faith is ultimately in Jesus,” Hackert said. “And you know, it doesn’t matter, who wins, I’m not gonna have a riot.”
