During a congressional hearing about the Voice of America, Kari Lake, who serves as a special adviser to the U.S. Agency for Global Media, falsely claimed that Rep. Greg Stanton had a 'gay lover.' This incident occurred while Lake defended her position on the USAGM and responded to Stanton's criticism of her refusal to concede her 2022 gubernatorial election loss. Lake suggested that Voice of America spreads misinformation, referencing Stanton as a victim of such falsehoods. Representative Bill Keating requested that her remarks be removed from the official record.
"How would you like it if those lies were put on Voice of America right now?"
"They could literally put out a lie about anybody here. And I know you have been the victim of that."
