Any GOP candidates running on the big lie, has no creditability at all?!!
In an interview on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, Arizona Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake would not explicitly commit to accepting the outcome of her upcoming election if she loses to her Democratic opponent.
"Let me ask you why it is that you have not said -- or maybe you'll do it now -- you have not said that you will accept the certified results of this election, even if you lose this election?" ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl asked Lake in the interview.
"I will accept the results of this election if we have a fair, honest and transparent election. Absolutely, 100%," said Lake, a former TV anchor who has become one of the Republican Party's most prominent election deniers this cycle. "As long as it's fair, honest and transparent."
In a previous interview with CNN's Dana Bash, Lake only said she would accept the results if she won, after being asked three times whether she would accept the election's outcome.
"If you lose, will you accept that?" Bash ultimately asked, to which Lake replied again: "I'm going to win the election, and I will accept that result."
Lake has frequently campaigned on the false claims that the 2020 presidential race was fraudulent -- at times wielding a sledgehammer, claiming it's for suspect electronic voting machines. She raised the subject of the 2020 race in her interview with Karl, wrongly alleging that "2,000 mail-in ballots were accepted by Maricopa County after Election Day in 2020, after Election Day."
Maricopa County election officials told ABC News that no ballots were accepted after the deadline on Election Day in 2020. Some ballots that were scanned the next morning -- giving them a post-election timestamp -- were turned in to the office on Election Day, the officials said.
In her interview, Lake offered other unsubstantiated and disproven claims about Arizona's 2020 race. At one point Lake said she wanted to discuss other topics, but Karl noted she was the one who raised the previous election.
"We've been talking about a whole bunch of other things," Karl said, later adding: "I didn't ask you about 2020, you brought it up."
