She knew if she fought this in court she’d commit perjury because she’s incapable of not lying.

Kari is just using the same playbook as trump.

I am thrilled to know that Kari Lake is going down, down, down. She deserves it for all the lies she’s told, and all the other things she has said about Stephen Richer and all the harm she has caused him.. I am celebrating. Vote blue!

Hopefully, Arizona voters are smart enough not to elect her.

This defamation suit relating to a public figure confirms she acted with actual malice. A higher bar than two standard, private individuals. Lake is therefore unworthy (besides unqualified) from holding an office to represent Arizona Constituents.

She ought to be sued again, because she's still effectively calling Richer a liar and cheat.

I say this as an injury lawyer: I cannot think of a more well-respected and brilliant lawyer in Arizona than Tom Ryan. Everything he said here is spot-on.

another example of how trumps playbook is for people that want to end their career, go bankrupt, indicted, convicted and jailed.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. The idea that Kari Lake thought the Arizona electorate was that ignorant is just incredulous.
