Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is running for U.S. Senate in the 2024 election. At the Phoenix Sky Harbor International airport, standing outside the men’s bathroom, Lake confronted her Democratic opponent, current U.S. Congressman Ruben Gallego, after he tagged her on Twitter: “Hey Kari Lake, we’re on the same plane! Just come back from first class to coach and we can chat.”
Hey @KariLake we're on the same plane! Just come back from first class to coach and we can chat. ⁰⁰Happy to walk you through all my legislative work to deliver key resources to AZ's border communities. https://t.co/4MiJHjFxoB

With the Daily Caller video below, Lake reports: “Twitter troll Congressman Ruben Gallego spotted me on the same plane and trolled me to come back and talk to him. So when I got off the plane I did just that.”

While Lake and Gallego argue about border control and the strength of Arizona’s economy, more than one of the men who walk out of the bathroom, pat Lake on the shoulder. At the 1:38 mark, Lake turns to one of the men who pats her on the shoulder, points to Gallego and claims: “This man wants to destroy out country, he really does.”
After a lot interruptions between the two, Gallego suggested that they “work together,” to which Lake replied: “I’m not working together with you. I’m going to beat you.”
