Kari Lake: "When are we gonna see some effing handcuffs on some effing criminals in this country?"

Published | Video Starts at 07:19

We worked hard. You've worked hard for everything you've ever had in your life. I have, too. That's how the American spirit is. These people have come in here as immigrants. Nobody voted on whether the entire Somali population was going to move into Minneapolis. They just a bunch of politicians allowed it to happen. They don't understand our culture, our history, that our forefathers have died for this country, bled for this country, and they've taken advantage. (07:19–07:24)
