Lake a dud, splats again.

Opinion: Kari Lake is a sore loser like the Washington Generals—she's failing so hard she might as well change her name to Karen Cry-Lake!

RINO Lake Makes the Harlem Globetrotters Look Like Winner

There was a boxer from the U.K. named Rockin’ Robin Deakin, who held the title of "Britain's Worst Boxer" after losing 51 consecutive fights. But this pathetic pugilist doesn't hold a candle to Arizona's own Kari Lake, the failed Republican governor candidate and aspiring grifter.

Lake, in her quest to overturn the 2022 election results, has racked up a losing record that would make any self-respecting loser proud. The latest addition to her streak? A ruling by an Arizona Court of Appeals panel, affirming that her attorneys failed to prove any misconduct by Maricopa County election officials.

As Lake continues to lose lawsuit after lawsuit, appeals after appeal, she solidifies her place among the legends of losing. The Louisville Colonels, who lost 26 straight games in 1889? Amateurs. The NFL's Chicago Cardinals, with their 29-game losing streak? Lightweights. Even Harold Stassen, who ran for president and lost nine times, has nothing on Lake's streak of defeat.

And let's not forget her recent chicken move, refusing to debate Mark Lamb. Who's the real chicken now, Kari?

Lake is so bad at winning that she makes the Washington Generals, the comic nemesis of the Harlem Globetrotters, look like champions. With her cartoonish attempts at legal challenges, she's become Arizona's very own Wile E. Coyote, a political Daffy Duck.

But hey, at least she's found a way to grift MAGA zealots out of their money. Losing can be profitable, after all.
