The “emergency press conference” turned out to be an epic troll of the media and Lake’s Democrat opponent Katie Hobbs.
Lake dismantled Hobbs’ lies about a Lake supporter being behind a break-in at the Democrat’s campaign headquarters.
“We’re going to do a tutorial on how fake, bogus, defamatory news is made at the hands of many of you,” Lake, a former journalist, told reporters.
“My desperate opponent, who’s sinking like a lead weight in water, pulled a stunt and you guys fell for it. She put out a defamatory statement and you all ran with it. You didn’t do your journalistic duty. It was malpractice of journalism like I’ve never seen before.”
Infowars reported:
Lake went on to troll reporters with a fake photo which she claimed showed Hobbs breaking into her Republican campaign office.
“We had an incident where somebody was… rummaging in our campaign office, and I have evidence to believe it may have been Katie Hobbs herself who was involved in this,” Lake said.
“I’d like to show you that photographic evidence. I hope you’ll cover this with the same vigor that you’ve covered everything else.”
The Trump-backed candidate went on to unveil a photo of a person in a chicken suit inside her campaign office.
“And we’re laughing. I know this is a joke, obviously, in case you didn’t figure it out.”

Infowars noted:
Hobbs’ campaign on Wednesday claimed Republicans incited by Lake were behind a break-in at her campaign headquarters.
However, on Thursday it emerged 36-year-old homeless illegal alien Daniel Mota Dos Reis, who described himself a pro-mask Democrat on social media, was arrested in connection to the break-in.
