Kari Lake finds Arizona rancher’s arrest 'appalling' after he murdered 'unarmed' Mexican migrant
Former Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate and election denier, Kari Lake, recently shared her outrage over an Arizona rancher's arrest after he killed an unarmed Mexican migrant near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Per Associated Press, 73-year-old George Alan Kelly opened fire "that day on a group of about eight unarmed migrants who entered the U.S. illegally," according to the prosecutor in the case.
Santa Cruz County Chief Deputy attorney, Kimberly Hunley, wrote in the filing, "Kelly shot an unarmed man in the back as he was fleeing, in addition to shooting at other individuals, without warning or provocation."

AP reports the prosecutor is fighting "against a reduction in Kelly's $1 million cash bond."
PatriotTakes shared a clip from Lake's interview with Real America's Voice during the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) via Twitter, writing, "Kari Lake said 'it's outrageous' and 'appalling' that an Arizona man is being prosecuted after killing an unarmed Mexican national in the back with his AK-47 rifle."
The host interviewing the former candidate said, "A rancher arrested when he shot a Mexican national on his property illegally. What is wrong with that picture?"
Lake replied, "That is one of our liberal counties in southern Arizona, and it's one of the sheriffs who was supporting Katie Hobbs. All the other ones were supporting me... And it's appalling what they're doing to that man.

She continued, "we're going to push back on these frauds who are sitting in the governor's office and in other positions in Arizona...We don't wanna live in a lawless, cartel-controlled state any longer."
Following Lake's election loss last year, she filed a lawsuit claiming election fraud — which a judge ruled against.
