Bill Clinton calls Kari Lake “physically attractive” while campaigning for Gallego

Clinton made the comments while contrasting the two candidates in the Arizona Senate race, in which Gallego and Lake are seeking to succeed Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ).

“You have a person who grew up in sometimes challenging circumstances, who made something of his life by running against someone who is physically attractive but believes that politics is a performing art and where, like JD Vance, cheers must be “ate before the master,” said Clinton.

Lake has not commented specifically on Clinton's statements on X, although she has republished a statement critical of the former president's comments. Christy Kelly wrote on X that Clinton's “sexist and dehumanizing comment” reduced Lake to “a cheap stereotype.”

🚨.@BillClinton advertised for it @RubenGallego And @VP in Arizona, but his infamous history of womanizing and misogyny shamefully resurfaced. Clinton was fired @KariLake not as a serious political candidate, but merely as “attractive,” which further demeans her by implying… pic.twitter.com/wfH73XBOD7

Clinton also commented during his visit to Arizona that Harris was “extremely vulnerable” and said there was a “portion” of voters who had not yet made up their minds before Election Day. He argued that Harris “showed up” to win those votes.

“I mean, she was there as vice president, and what they think of her largely depends on what they think of President Biden,” Clinton said. “But she is extremely vulnerable, more vulnerable than she deserves to be, to crazy attacks. So they, the Republicans, were thinking all along: 'How can we go on the attack?'”

Earlier this month, Clinton tried to link the death of Laken Riley, a college student from Georgia, to former President Donald Trump, but argued that her death “probably would not have occurred” if all of the country's illegal immigrants had been ” “have been properly checked”. Riley's alleged killer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, crossed the border in September 2022 before being released into the United States.

During his final campaign stop, Clinton mocked the Trump campaign for not participating in another debate against Harris despite “all the macho talk.” Shortly after his first debate against Harris, Trump insisted that there would be no further debate between him and the vice president.

Although it's unlikely there will be another debate before Election Day, Harris held a town hall show on CNN, although her appearance at the event was criticized. Former Obama adviser David Axelrod suggested that many of Harris' answers were “word salad town.” The Washington Examiner Kaylee McGhee White argued that Harris “started to sound just like Donald Trump” when she stressed the need for legal immigration.

With less than two weeks to go until the election, recent poll data suggests a handful of swing states could push for Trump in the Electoral College. In addition to Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia were also among the states in this survey.
