It was supposed to be an expose, but it turned out to be so appalling that Lake decided to wait a day to announce it.

Lake said that she just got some really painful and hurt feelings about the person. The team is triple-confirming the truth. I will release tomorrow. It's bad stuff.

On Tuesday, Lake dropped her bomb, announcing that her opponent had fought to keep the Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem, and the Declaration of Independence out of Arizona's classrooms.

Goodness.

It would be horrible. That's if it was true.

I don't want to go too far ahead of myself. Lake is going to make a three-minute video about anti-American and un- Arizonan people.

There is a lake.

She solemnly says, "The Pledge of Allegiance, our National Anthem, our Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, she solemnly says, as music plays softly in the background." The American cornerstones were kept out of the classroom by my opponent.

"Growing up in America, it was easy for you and I to learn these things in school," she said. Hobbs doesn't want the same education for our kids. The pillars of our nation were kept out of the classroom.

You heard that? The Pledge of Allegiance, our National Anthem, our Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and even the Mayflower Compact were all voted to be blocked by the legislator.

In her video, Lake showed a document that proved that Hobbs didn't do it.

There is only one thing that this video proves.

State law allows the pledge, the anthem, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and even the Mayflower Compact to be read or posted.

The state motto was added to the list and the wording of the national motto was changed.

That's then-Sen. Every democrat voted against the bill. It's not known why.

Lake is quick to jump to incorrect conclusions and doesn't know how to make laws. Current parts of the law are in regular type while the proposed changes are written in Upper Case.

The news about the fight to keep our children from repeating the pledge, or the fact that politicians have a First Amendment right to show their ignorantness, was very upsetting.

Lake's imagination is so crazy that it's a figment.

Joe Wolf could not explain why Hobbs voted against the bill. He was taken aback by Lake's apology.

Wolf said that it shows how un serious Lake is. She can't read it. She can't read the bill.

Many were surprised by Lake's lack of knowledge of the basic workings of state government.

He said it was disappointing that someone running for governor couldn't read the statute.

It was disappointing but not disqualifying.

Lake's red-white-and-blue video, which she asked people to spread around, was retweeted thousands of times, as her supporters expressed their admiration for her and even urged her to run for president.

Lake said at the end of her video that she would make sure that the next generation was taught well.

It is possible to get a crash course in basic civics.
