Bannon`s War RoomJul 27, 2026
The sources show Kari Lake (the likely referent of 'Carrie Lake') won the 2022 Republican primary for Arizona governor, so she did not lose her nomination for governor. She lost the November 2022 general election to Katie Hobbs and later lost the 2024 Senate race, which the post's own wording ('got her nomination... and she lost') appears to refer to.
A played clip makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post.
What was said
… Donald Trump talked about that effort as the big lie, and it was a big lie, but it was also a big conspiracy that had multiple people in multiple states. My question for you is, is this time any different? Like, it feels like we've seen this show before. Carrie Lake, another election denier, got her nomination for what was that, Senate, governor, and she lost. Is this time different? Right, a couple things. I mean, one, I think that we should zoom out in the scope of history. We should always worry when these types of people are major nominees for public office. …
Bannon`s War Room · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Multiple reports from the 2022 primary state that Kari Lake won the Republican nomination for Arizona governor, defeating Karrin Taylor Robson.[1][2][3]
Supports. Lake lost the 2022 Arizona governor general election to Democrat Katie Hobbs by about 17,000 votes, so the 'lost' in the post plausibly refers to the general election rather than the nomination.[4][5][6][7]
Context. Lake later lost the 2024 U.S. Senate race to Ruben Gallego, matching the post's 'Senate' possibility.[8]
