An AI-generated video of failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake appeared online yesterday. It superimposes Lake’s face over the body of Wonder Woman from the old TV show of the late 1970s. However, instead of Wonder Woman, it calls her ‘MAGA Woman.’
It quickly caught the attention of none other than Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman. She appeared horrified at the comparison. She tweeted about the ways in which Lake falls short of Wonder Woman’s values.
“Wonder Woman represents kindness, empathy, and pursuit of truth and justice,” she said. “It is a delusion to believe Kari Lake could fill those boots, unless she’s just dropping by a Spirit Halloween store.”

Many fans praised her for blasting Lake. However, MAGA devotees of Lake soon flooded the replies to register their disappointment.
The irony is you play a “super woman” whereas Kari Lake is one. So in reality you’re the one with a costume. Maybe you should consider dressing up as @KariLake for Halloween instead? ☺️
Lake herself also took to X to respond, opting for the “kill with kindess” approach.
“What an incredible surprise to see that you responded to this light-hearted Meme that somebody made today,” Lake said in response to Carter. “I have nothing but the utmost gratitude for you. I loved the role you played as Wonder Woman. As a child in the 70s, I enjoyed EVERY single episode I had a chance to watch.
“And when I went to deliver my beautiful babies nearly 2 decades ago, I wore a Wonder Woman T-shirt (Becoming a mother makes you feel like a Super Hero!)
“I wish you nothing but love and I believe that we both ❤️ America and hope to bring our country together under the US Constitution and the freedoms and liberties our Founding Fathers worked into that amazing document.
“May God Bless You and I pray that one day I get to meet you❤️
“P.S. I don’t plan on dressing-up for Halloween this year. I’m going to be too busy trying to save America.🇺🇸”

Lynda Carter has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ rights for decades and has appeared as a grand marshall at several Pride parades. Her social media game is strong. Who can forget her tweet demonstrating her knowledge about gay bears, or when she went viral last year to tout Wonder Woman as a queer icon.
I didn’t write Wonder Woman, but if you want to argue that she is somehow not a queer or trans icon, then you’re not paying attention.
Every time someone comes up to me and says that WW helped them while they were closeted, it reminds me how special the role is.
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
Skari Lake can “save America” by staying away from politics. She’ll have plenty of time to dress up for Halloween this year since she doesn’t have a job.

No, BS, Carter isn’t showing disdain for the American people. She is showing disdain for hate and greed driven, right-wing, neo-Nazi GOP filth like Lake and her supporters. All Conservatives are just human garbage.
Kari Lake wishes she could even be .00001% of the woman Lynda Carter is. Lynda has grace, class, style, empathy and intelligence – all qualities that Kari Lake lacks.

More evidence about how stupid these republicans are (as if we need more). If Q doesn’t cover this, go to The Advocate. Excerpt here:
Pete Buttigieg Explains the Difference Between Climate Change and Seasons to Republican Lawmaker
”LaMalfa (R) doubled down, explaining his puzzling stance.
“This climate change right now is called autumn,” he declared.
Buttigieg then attempted to draw a clear line between the natural occurrence of seasonal changes and the long-term shifts that define climate change.
“Yeah. That’s the seasons changing, which respectively is not the same thing as the climate changing,” Buttigieg explained.

By all means “save America” by denying the truth of the election results, sweetheart.

I think I’ve been in love with Lynda Carter since 1976. But actually, it was Lyle Waggoner who turned me on.

the video should have ended with melania dragging kari out of mar-a-lago by her hair while mtg cheers. girl fight.

“MAGA Woman”? SMH. They really are scaling SKari’s campaign to the lowest common ding-donginator.

Wonder Woman and Blunder Woman. Lake would trip over her lasso and her tiara would just boomerang back and take her down .
