Lake: My CPAC Trip did Not Lead to Her Leaving the Station

FTVLive reported FIST and EXCLUSIVELY that then KSAZ Anchor Kari Lake was seen on the floor of the conservative CPAC convention in Orlando.

Hours after FTVLive posted the video of Lake at CPAC, she posted a video that she had “resigned” from the station.

The Phoenix New Times did a story about Lake and her tenure at the Fox O&O.

Lake claims that she decided to “stop by” CPAC and it had nothing to do with her then leaving the station.

The New Times writes, “while Lake's hijinks have drawn plenty of local attention, no outlet has more doggedly covered her than FTVLive, an industry gossip site. The blog was first to obtain a recording of Lake dissing New Times on a hot mic and has closely followed her evolving situation with the station.

Last week, that TMZ of TV news shared video of Lake apparently mingling with the crowd at CPAC, a convention for conservative activists that was held in Florida this year. In a follow-up article, the blog cited anonymous sources at the station saying management was blindsided by the video and were trying to reach her. One attributed Lake's departure to the video.

Lake told New Times this was not the caseIn a lengthy Twitter message, she said that she was in the area already touring colleges with her daughter.”

This was Lake’s response to the New Times:

Does anyone else think it is odd that Lake “resigned” from the station via a social media post and on a Monday, just hours after FTVLive posted the video?

Also, Lake had not been on the air at KSAZ for months due to a “health reason” yet she traveled during a pandemic to the COVID hot zone of Florida to attend a convention, look at colleges and go to a theme park.

Meanwhile, her co-workers were back at the station covering for her while she was out for “health” reasons.

Say what you will, but that’s the truth.
