Kari Lake is already like Cheeto in one significant way. She lies. A lot.

To be fair, many of her lies are about Cheeto and the election he lost. 

In return, he endorsed his ideological Mini-Me in the primary.

And her lack of honesty is already garnering national attention, even before the primary.

From CNN -

Fact-checking Kari Lake, serial promoter of election lies and early frontrunner in GOP primary for Arizona governor

In September, Mike Lindell, the pillow businessman and promoter of wildly inaccurate conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, said Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake was the first and only candidate he had endorsed.

"And that says a lot," Lindell said while introducing Lake for an appearance on his talk show. "It says a lot about Kari."

It sure does.

Pro-tip to Lake (or whoever's advising her):

When fact checks aren't your friend, tell the truth.

Lies may help you/her win a GQP primary, but (I expect) that Katie Hobbs will be waiting in the general, and lies won't help there.
