Republican US Senate candidate Kari Lake responded on Thursday to comments by former President Bill Clinton, who referred to her as “physically attractive” during a rally in Phoenix.
Lake, 55, quipped in response, “As a middle-aged woman, I’m flattered. I thought I was a little too old for him. Doesn’t he like interns?”
As per the Arizona Republic, the moment took place at a rally with former President Donald Trump on Arizona State University’s campus in Tempe.
Clinton, who campaigned for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, had commented on the high-stakes Arizona Senate race between Lake and Democratic Rep Ruben Gallego.
In his address, Clinton drew parallels between the contest between Lake and Gallego and the presidential election battle between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
“You got a person that grew up under sometimes challenging circumstances, who made something of his life running against someone who is physically attractive, but believes that politics is a performance art, and where, like JD Vance, she has to be prostrate before the master,” Clinton said.
