Former Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake confronted Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), who she is running against for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (I-AZ) seat in 2024, outside a bathroom at an airport in Phoenix this week over the immigration crisis in the state.

“Unfortunately, our border’s wide open,” she said. “You and Kyrsten have had a lot of time to do something about it. And even the Democrats are upset about it.”

Gallego said that there was “some common ground” that Democrats could work with Republicans when it came to solving the border crisis.

“The problem is we have plenty of people here right now,” Lake said. “We have millions of people here. Fentanyl has killed more young people and you have had an opportunity to vote.”

Lake praised former President Donald Trump during the conversation for the border conditions during his administration and told a passerby that Gallego wanted to “destroy our country.”

Gallego offered to go down to the border with Lake and suggested that the two set something up with local mayors.

“Let’s go down to the border together,” he said. “Let’s get the mayor’s together.”

“We have to finish the wall,” Lake responded.

Gallego said that there should be some border wall along with various other measures to make the border more secure.

Lake said that she was not interested in working together with Gallego and that her focus was on beating him.
