Lake said she would be their worst nightmare for two terms if she won the governor's race.

The Donald Trump -backed nominee snapped at a reporter in Phoenix who asked if he would run for president again. The reporter asked if she would consider the position if she were the governor of the state.

Is this the first race you've covered? We have discussed this before. This question has been answered by me. She said that she would be the governor of Arizona for four years and also do two terms. For the next eight years, I will be your worst nightmare.

She said that the media would be reformed as well. We are going to get you back into the profession of journalism. Get prepared. Eight years is going to be fun. I can't wait to work with you.

Lake, who is running for governor after working for two decades as a local news anchor, has drawn on many elements of Trump's campaign toolkit, including attacking the press and spreading conspiracy theories.

She shared an ad on Tuesday that said she would take a sledgehammer to the mainstream media's lies and propaganda, as well as other hot-button conservative issues. She says that journalism is no longer alive. As soon as I realized it, I left.
