Bill Clinton describes Kari Lake as ‘physically attractive’ as she takes on her opponent

Former President Bill Clinton described Arizona Senate candidate and close Trump ally Kari Lake as “physically attractive” during a campaign event with her opponent on Wednesday evening.

The comments were intended to highlight how Republicans viewed politics as an achievement.

But you could see them as an own goal, coming from a politician with a reputation for being a womanizer.

Clinton appeared alongside Democratic candidate Reuben Gallego, 44, and laid out his views on the race in Arizona.

“This is a beautiful microcosm of Kamala Harris’ campaign for president,” he said.

‘You have a person who grew up under sometimes challenging circumstances, who has made something of his life by running into someone who is physically attractive, but believes that politics is a performance art, and where, like JD Vance, she prostate should be for the master.’

The 78-year-old, who was president from 1993 to 2001, probably meant “prostration.”

Lake, 55, rose to fame in the Phoenix area as a television news anchor and used that to make headlines for governor in 2022.

She narrowly lost, but her accusations of election fraud aligned with former President Donald Trump’s own strategy and she has become a darling of the MAGA faithful.

Since then, she has been trying to find a path to the center as she takes on Gallego, a Navy veteran and 10-year member of Congress.

In recent weeks she has closed the gap on Gallego. But six different polls released in the past week show her average between 43 percent and his 50 percent.

Democrats have won three straight Senate races since 2018, and the battle this year is for the seat vacated by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who won as a Democratic candidate before becoming an independent.

It is not the first time that Clinton has been accused of making a blunder.

At a recent event in Georgia, he turned his attention to immigration, accusing Republicans of sabotaging a bill that would have tightened security along the border and better controlled entry into the country.

“You had a case in Georgia not too long ago, didn’t you? They made an ad about it. A young woman murdered by an immigrant,” he said, referring to Laken Riley’s story.

“Yes, if they had all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn’t have happened.”

But Trump’s campaign quickly interpreted his words as criticism of the Biden-Harris administration’s border policies.
