"Court Yeet"

Yeeted: 2026-03-12

Ran Voice of America’s parent agency into a legal buzzsaw, then got bounced after a judge said she was never lawfully running it in the first place.

Kari Lake is a former television news anchor and Republican political figure who served as Senior Adviser to the U.S. Agency for Global Media. She rose to national prominence through election denialism, hard-right media politics, and failed campaigns in Arizona that somehow only made her louder. Her USAGM stint followed the same pattern: lots of swagger, lots of combat, and then a court stepping in to point out that she was not lawfully running the thing in the first place. On Yeeted or Seated, Lake is the perfect Trump-era media creature — always camera-ready, always aggrieved, and forever one ruling away from being told to sit down.
