Kari Lake, Arizona’s fiery GOP Senate contender, slammed Kamala Harris during a campaign event on Thursday, casting her and VP pick Tim Walz as a danger to her state’s border security. With Harris set to rally in Glendale on Friday, Lake blasted the veep for skipping a visit to the southern border—again.

The event also included parents whose children were victims of the fentanyl crisis, and Jade Gillon, a local resident and former Democratic voter. Gillon, an African American, expressed her support for Trump, saying that life was better for people of all races during his administration. Lake invited Gillon to the podium, where she shared her personal experiences and the differences in her life under the Trump and Biden administrations.

“My name is Jade. I am a former Democrat. Unlike Kamala Harris, I’m an actual real-life black woman. I’m a former Democrat who is currently registered Republican,” she began. “I’m tired of the Democrats using the generational trauma of my people to garner votes. They invoke fear, they tell me I’m oppressed, they tell me I’m less than, they tell me I’m not good enough, and they tell me that my white brothers and sisters in Christ are my enemy. They are not.”

The crux of Jade’s argument centered on the economic struggles faced by many Americans, which she felt were exacerbated under the current administration. “The enemy is telling me that, don’t worry that I can’t pay my bills and I’m working six days a week this week and I’m tired. And I went to school and I have a career. I’m doing worse under this administration than in Donald Trump’s administration, but I’m told to be afraid of a man who made my life better?”

“How does that work? Make it make sense,” she asked. “During COVID, I knew more of my white guy friends that lost their jobs than me and my black girlfriends. We are the same in this country. All these Americans want the same thing.”

“We want safety. We want prosperity. We want peace. And the Democrats keep going back and look, check it out, right? I honor my ancestors and the people who fought for us to be in this room here today. No one is discounting what my people went through,” she said.

Jade’s speech culminated in a powerful call to action, urging a departure from fear-based politics and a return to principles she believes were better upheld during former President Trump’s presidency. “So let’s move past this. Let’s vote for Donald Trump so we can all be prosperous again. Let’s get out of this fear, this rage, and this anger, because it comes from the devil.”

“I don’t owe the Democrats anything. They owe me. They’re to serve us. They’re public servants. Stop putting them on a pedestal.” Jade’s address at the Kari Lake rally captivated those present. Lake was also joined by U.S. Representatives Eli Crane (R-AZ) and Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who criticized her Democrat opponent Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). Gallego is competing to fill the seat of retiring Senator Kyrsten Sinema, (I-AZ).
