  • The GOP debate in Arizona had multiple candidates spread misinformation.

  • Lake said during the debate that she felt like a spoof.

  • Ted Simons tried to end the program but the candidates talked over him.

Republican candidates for governor of Arizona spent Wednesday evening talking over each other, spreading misinformation, and wondering if they were in a real-life SNL skit.

The debate was moderated by Ted Simons, host of "Arizona Horizon" on Arizona PBS, and featured a number of statements from the three candidates.

Lake's campaign was called a "PSYOP," short for psychological operations, by the man who made some of the most outrageous comments.

The Arizona law banning most abortions that was passed before the Wade decision was supported by both Lake and Robson. Penalties for abortion providers are included in the law that will take effect once again.

The attempts to keep the comments to a minimum failed. The woman exclaimed "mamma mia" in anger.

Lake asked if it was a skit from SNL.

Lake said that he felt like this was a spoof. Ted, is this a joke? Do you think you're sure?

Candidates continued to talk over Simmons as he ended the program.

On November 8th, Arizona will vote for a new governor. The Republican governor will not be running for re-election.

The polls show that Hobbs is the favorite to be the next governor.

Lake has been fighting a claim that she was friends with a drag queen. Despite the existence of pictures of Lake and Stevens together, Lake has called the allegations lies.

Business Insider has an article on it.
