Where Lake has shifted to now is clear: She echoes Trumps’ policies and style.
Lake bashes the media industry that she worked in for 25 years; rips the COVID-related shutdowns of businesses and schools; and promotes conspiracy theories that the election was stolen from Trump.
Lake left Phoenix’s Fox 10 earlier this year after 22 years at the station. She was part of a long-running anchor team with John Hook.
Lake first registered as a Republican in Maricopa County in January 1995, according to county records.

County records show she has been a consistent early voter in federal, state and local elections since 2000, which is as far back as electronic registration records go.
Left GOP During Bush Era
Lake left the GOP in the middle of Republican President George W. Bush’s second term.
Here’s her registration history for that period:
-On Nov. 3, 2006 - four days before that year’s midterm elections - Lake changed her party registration to independent, under her married name, Kari L. Halperin.
Under state law, voters should update their voter registration information if their name has been legally changed. Lake changed her name to Halperin when she updated her registration in 2000, according to county records.
-A little more than a year later, on Jan. 4, 2008, Lake registered as a Democrat on the day after the Iowa caucuses.
Obama’s victory in the first test of the 2008 campaign helped to cement his status as a top-tier Democratic candidate.
Obama would go on to defeat Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain in the November presidential election.
-Lake remained a registered Democrat through the first three years of Obama’s presidency, which included his signing of the landmark Affordable Care Act in 2010.
On Jan. 31, 2012, she changed her registration to Republican. She is currently registered as a Republican.
Donations to 2 Democrats
Records on political donations show Lake has donated a total of $850 over the last 17 years, to two Democratic presidential candidates.
According to OpenSecrets.org, a campaign finance site run by the Center for Responsive Politics:
-On April 22, 2004, Kari Halperin donated $500 to Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, a Democratic presidential candidate.
Her occupation is listed as “video production.” She was still a registered Republican.
At the time, Kerry was the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. He lost to President Bush in the fall general election.
-On June 28, 2008, a “K Halperin” donated $350 to Barack Obama’s campaign. Her occupation is listed as “Zen Video,” the name of her husband’s Phoenix business.
By early June 2008, Obama was the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, after a hard-fought campaign against Clinton.
In an interview with KTVK-TV, Lake described the donation as being from her “family.”
“My husband did that … I guess you could say our family’s money went there,” Lake said.
Lake’s husband made three separate donations to Obama, totaling $1,500, under his own name, according to OpenSecrets.
A search for political donations on the Arizona Secretary of State’s campaign finance web site turned up no donations by Lake since the start of online record-keeping in 2002.
