Lake popped up on my radar a few years ago, back when she was still doing local tv news. Some of the details are foggy, but she was basically captured on a hot mic, during a commercial break-- talking to her co-anchor about how a certain segment of the politically active population was trying to abuse her for having opened up an account on the would-be twitter alternative "Parler." Idea being, that she was basically a horrible person for doing so, how dare she, was she a nazi, etc. I recall her being very feisty about it, with a "screw those guys attitude." Not surprising, given how she's carried herself since, but I found it unexpected and refreshing at the time-- her unwillingness to back down, even though the account was basically a throw-away for publicizing her station and its broadcasts.

I didn’t know about that! But it doesn’t surprise me. She’s incredibly brave. Not many people (other than Texans!) are out there talking about stopping the cartels. But we absolutely must.
