Kari Lake tells Brian Stelter to 'go home to mommy' after CNN cancellation

CNN aired the final episode of "Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter" on Sunday, which saw the disgraced former host choking back tears as the music swelled in the last moments of his send off.

Jack Posobiec noted Stelter's whimpering goodbye on Twitter while Kari Lake, GOP nominee for governor in Arizona, weighed in to tell Stelter to "go home to mommy."

Lake, a former local news anchor turned Trump-endorsed candidate for Arizona governor, has gained favor in the GOP for many of her policies, including very tough stances on Biden's border crisis and her staunch defense of parental rights.

Stelter had previously advanced misinformation about the parental rights movement. In November 2021, Stetler hosted a panel on his show to discuss how many parents across the country were lambasting the insertion of Critical Race Theory, an activist philosophy advancing racial essentialism, into their kids' schools.

Stelter agreed with a panelist saying that parents using the issue of CRT were secretly racist and he said when these parents say "the top issue is called 'education,' the top issue is race." Stelter did admit the issue turned him into a "useful idiot" in the news cycle he generated.

CNN has been plagued with reliably consistent low viewership ratings with Stelter leading the pack of minimal watchers. Stelter's show would often lose in ratings to reruns of "The Golden Girls," "Spongebob," "Peppa Pig," and "Paw Patrol."

Stelter lied on air during his tenure at CNN about multiple subjects, the most notable being Hunter Biden's "Laptop from Hell."

Emails and evidence from that laptop, which emerged at the height of the 2020 presidential election, showed that not only was Hunter using crack and was seen with prostitutes, but he engaged in influence peddling that involved his father, future president Joe Biden.

Lake will face off against Democrat rival Katie Hobbs in the general gubernatorial election in November.
