After Dana Bash Interview, NOW We Know Why Katie Hobbs Won't Debate Kari Lake

Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has built a reputation for being very direct when answering questions. It doesn't matter if it's a supporter she meets on the campaign trail or a Democrat-friendly corporate journalist. They ask. She answers. She doesn't mince words and she doesn't deflect.

Her opponent, Democrat Katie Hobbs, is the diametric opposite. If she were asked what color the sky is she'd answer it something like this: "Look, weather patterns and climate change have an impact on what appears in the sky at any given moment. Arizonans shouldn't be forced to pick a color based on something arbitrary like what they see with their own eyes."

In case you think that's hyperbole, listen to her "answers" to very fair questions posed by CNN's Dana Bash.
