Kari Lake's prognostications of future legal woes befalling former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden were blurred by hoopla over her choice of a vanity video filter.
"I see this whack job is back to using the shimmering golden C-3PO filter," reads a post by Republican strategist Jeff Timmer.
"Also known as 'glazed donut' filter," writes @PartyUpNorth.

Lake's split-screened appearance showed her in a metallic sheen that seemed fit for a slick perfume ad for a high fashion house. The far-right, Trump-endorsed TV news anchor turned pol — jockeying to win the Republican Senate primary in Arizona after a failed gubernatorial candidacy in 2022 — was attempting to predict troubles in court for both Obama and Biden.
"It is unreal," she said during an appearance on Newsmax. "The hypocrisy of it all. "Then you think about what they did before President Trump ever got inaugurated. How they spied on his campaign. Think of Russiagate — I mean the things they actually have done is just unbelievable."
Lake appeared to denigrate the basis for former President Donald Trump's multiple criminal indictments.
So while Obama and Biden wait for some sort of fate, she said, "we're having this witch hunt play out."
Ultimately, Lake believes law enforcement efforts to bring cases against Trump will implode.
The cases include state and federal charges for riling mobs of supporters who descended on Washington D.C. in a protest and later rioted at the Capitol to thwart the certification of votes to then-President-Elect Joe Biden.
Also, he faces accusations of hoarding confidential documents taken from the White House, littering them around his Mar-a-Lago estate, and obstructing giving them back to the feds.
None of it will stick, according to Lake.
"I think President Trump will be exonerated at the end of the day," she said. "And I think more bad news will come out on I think Obama actually. As well as Joe Biden.
"The question is will we ever see justice."
But again, many who watched her commenting on the legal morass were caught up by the strange filter.
"Does every camera in her presence come pre-slathered in Vaseline," asked @plantagenet_ja
@actingliketommy also called out Lake's "soft fuzzy filter of 'god'."
And @SaintLaurant also chimed in: "Her apparition filter is working overtime."
@kingofkings0247 also questioned the need to blur an honest look: "Her filters give me a headache."
