Kari Lake’s Daughter Accosted at ASU
21-Year-Old was registering voters when assailant soaked her and fled

Just a few weeks into the new school year, Arizona State University seems determined to reclaim its ignoble title from last year as the Southwest’s most inhospitable to anything resembling viewpoint diversity.
An ugly incident involving the daughter of Kari Lake, the 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate who is now running for US Senate, unfolded today on campus.
Ruby Halperin, 21, was manning a table at what appeared to be a campus-sanctioned event. According to Halperin, “As I was registering voters today at ASU, a radical leftist threw their whole beverage on me and ran away.”
Photos Ms. Halperin posted to Twitter reveal the youngster in a cheeky “Republicans are Hotter” t-shirt, dripping wet, her table and clipboards equally soaked.
Ms. Halperin told the Globe, “Today, while I was registering voters at ASU, a radical leftist threw a drink at me and ran away. I was shocked, then a little bit angry, but now, I’m proud. Because I realized that this means they know they’re losing. This isn’t about my mom. This isn’t about President Trump. This is about us, the young generation, breaking free from all of the liberal indoctrination we’ve been receiving, thinking for ourselves, and proudly declaring that we’re ready to put America First.”
Halperin’s mother, who obviously has inherited her daughter’s outspokenness, pointed out the gap in what she presumes would be the coverage were it a Democrat who was physically intimidated and splashed while registering voters.
“If the tables were turned and a young Democrat was registering other students to vote and a Republican poured a bottle of soda on that Democrat student the news media would be ALL OVER THIS.”
The Globe reached out to Arizona State and was told by a university spokesperson, “We are looking into it. If a student was involved and identified, we will address it via the Student Code of Conduct.”
Globe readers will recall that Arizona State was home to some of last year’s more notorious incidents of intolerance directed at any viewpoint not sanctioned by the progressive elite.
In November, Jewish students had to be escorted home by the police when anti-Israel protestors threw rocks at a meeting of the student government at which Jewish student organizations were asked to present their safety concerns. According to a story in the State Press, the “meeting was adjourned abruptly after some people involved in a rally supporting Palestine outside the Memorial Union threw rocks at the second-floor window to the room where the meeting was being held.”
In a separate incident last Fall, controversial Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan, 12th District) was said to have been invited by the ASU chapter of Students for Justice for Palestine to appear as its guest. That event was later canceled amid much protest.
Meanwhile, Ms. Lake has a theory about why her daughter’s efforts apparently upset the person who accosted her.
“They know that thousands of kids at every university are registering Republican,” tweeted the candidate. “They know that they are losing the young vote because young Americans know their future is on the line and it’s the America First Republican party that wants to make their future great again.“
Halperin sounded a note of similar defiance. She told the Globe: “I’m not going to be intimidated. I’m going to put my head down and work ten times harder until we deliver President Trump, my mom, and the entire AZ GOP ticket a huge victory on November 5th.”

We’ll look at the facts.
A transgender student at Arizona State University (ASU) allegedly assaulted Kari Lake’s daughter, Ruby Halperin, last week while she was registering voters on campus. According to the police report, Rebecca Kimpel threw his entire drink at her, hitting Halperin and her paperwork, and told ASU Police that she was upset about the students talking about GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Kimpel was charged with assault and released.
Lake posted on X, “An intolerant student attacked my daughter who was registering a young man to vote on the ASU campus. The trans-student told police he got angry because they were talking about President Trump so he threw a full bottle of soda on my daughter interrupting the process of registering voters. This attempt to intimidate voters is illegal. The mainstream media has given it zero coverage
Cheeky youngster? She’s a 21 yo female adult
