Kari Lake left a Democratic congressman visibly frustrated after referencing a debunked claim about a House member having a gay lover during a heated exchange on the House floor.

The tense moment unfolded as Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) questioned Lake, who currently serves as President Donald Trump’s senior adviser at the Agency for Global Media. The back-and-forth grew increasingly personal, with Stanton pressing Lake on her refusal to concede two past state election defeats.

As he concluded his remarks, Stanton took a jab at Lake by sarcastically suggesting she run for Arizona governor again.
