In a surprising turn of events, Dave Rubin, a prominent supporter of Ron DeSantis, has aligned himself with the leftist narrative by labeling Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake as an “election denier.” This is just another example of how the DeSantis camp employs leftist tactics against America First and MAGA conservatives.

Lake, along with former President Donald Trump, has been at the forefront of the election integrity movement, shedding light on her campaign for Governor of Arizona and exposing flaws in mail-in ballot signature verification. Yet, instead of standing alongside Lake in questioning the validity of mail-in ballots and voting machines, Rubin has chosen to echo the leftist talking point of smearing her as an “election denier.”
Ouch, I’ve been unfollowed by election denier @KariLake for sharing her obvious lies about Florida and DeSantis.
Ironically she came up to me at the debate yesterday and said, “Don’t take it personally.”
Here’s a parting gift, Kari! pic.twitter.com/9G9QCIatcR

When asked about the 2020 presidential election, Ron DeSantis agreed with President Obama that Trump lost, saying, “I've said many times the election is what it is. All those theories that were put out, did not prove to be true.”

This is beyond Donald Trump.
This is about saving our country.
That's why I'm still in this fight.
That's why I'm barnstorming across the country urging patriotic Americans to step into the arena with me.https://t.co/gzafSvNeDz pic.twitter.com/yWALFJaUHw

Rubin even took to Twitter to express his disappointment at being unfollowed by Lake, sarcastically offering her a “parting gift.” This sudden shift in Rubin’s stance is not surprising, considering his previous affiliation with the “progressive left,” hosting a podcast for Hot Gay Comics and working for the far-left Young Turks. It seems that Rubin is more interested in attacking Lake and embracing the “election denier” narrative than supporting true conservative values.
Rubin’s alignment with the left is further exemplified by his recent attempts to appeal to a conservative audience after Trump’s election victory in 2016. He has positioned himself as a “classical liberal” and praised DeSantis for his efforts in fighting woke ideology. However, it is worth questioning if Rubin truly aligns with the conservative values of DeSantis or if he is simply a bizarre fit for the DeSantis team.
This attack on Lake is not isolated, as DeSantis himself recently launched an attack on her during the Bill Maher show. It appears that Lake has become a target for DeSantis, possibly due to her criticism of him as a “phony” for claiming that Trump lost the 2020 election. While DeSantis acknowledged that the election was not perfect, he firmly stated that Joe Biden is the rightful president.
Unsurprisingly, Lake fired back at DeSantis’s remarks, calling him a backstabber and accusing him of buying endorsements instead of supporting Trump. She emphasized that this is not just about her campaign, but about saving our country. It is clear that Lake and DeSantis have differing opinions on the 2020 election, but it remains to be seen how this will impact their respective political futures.
In conclusion, Dave Rubin’s alignment with the leftist narrative in attacking Kari Lake raises questions about his conservative values and his fit within the DeSantis team. This episode highlights the ongoing divide between America First and MAGA conservatives and those who are willing to play into the left’s smears. As the 2022 elections approach, it is crucial for conservatives to stand united in order to advance their shared values and protect the integrity of our elections.
