Secretary Katie Hobbs released the following statement when asked by Arizona’s Family.

“The reported incident at Kari Lake’s campaign office is incredibly concerning and I am thankful that she and her staff were not harmed. Political violence, threats, or intimidation have no place in our democracy. I strongly condemn this threatening behavior directed at Lake and her staff.”

And readers thought I couldn't do it - nothing in the title speculated that this may be Lake's "Reichstag fire" moment, or pointed out that the envelope was delivered when the were few potential witnesses or that it came after Lake was heavily criticized for cracking a joke at the actual violence perpetrated upon Paul Pelosi, the husband of the speaker of the U.S. House.


Jeez, I'm so restrained that I amaze myself sometimes. :)
