Riki Lake had to go all the way back to Arizona Territory 1861 to come up with that schtick.

Well, I guess an inflated military record trumps one that only states "AWOL due to bone spurs"....

The Confederates were DEMOCRATS who died for their beliefs and their country. Not sure what those who tout the rainbow flag and other outliars ever see as highly important except themselves and agenda and who if any died for country. I want to hear about equality not claimed special people with special flags.

Odd that Kari Lake would do a speech in front of a Democrat flag, but it's a free country.

Her fellow Democrats Bo and Luke Duke would be proud!

@#10 ... The Confederates were DEMOCRATS who died for their beliefs and their country. ...

The Confederates wanted to secede. Yes, they were Democrats, but nothing like the current Democratic Party.

Southern Democrats
en.wikipedia.org

... Southern Democrats are members of the U.S. Democratic Party who reside in the Southern United States.[1]

Before the American Civil War, Southern Democrats were mostly white men living in the South who believed in Jacksonian democracy. In the 19th century, they defended slavery in the United States and promoted its expansion into the Western United States against the Free Soil opposition in the Northern United States.

The United States presidential election of 1860 formalized the split in the Democratic Party and brought about the American Civil War.[2] After the Reconstruction Era ended in the late 1870s, so-called redeemers were Southern Democrats who controlled all the southern states and disenfranchised African-Americans. ...

Really? That 'Old Chestnut' again?!

As others have pointed out its been 165+ years
since the Civil War, and the North has moved on,
and the Democrats long ago rightfully shed their
embrace of racism and the failed Confederacy.

Maybe it's time that the South try to move on too?
You know, 165 years later?!

No?

Your irrational hatred of others is too precious to you?

Sounds like you need to revoke your Cult Membership Card,
and join the modern century.
