Former President Bill Clinton praised the looks of Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake of Arizona and described Vice President Kamala Harris as “extremely vulnerable” during campaign stops in the swing state on Wednesday.

Clinton, 78, was commenting on the race between Lake and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) – comparing it to Harris' contest against former President Donald Trump – when he made the bizarre remark.

“This is like a beautiful microcosm of the campaign that Kamala Harris is running for president,” Clinton said.

“You have a person (Gallego) who grew up in sometimes challenging circumstances, who made something of his life by running against someone (Lake) who is physically attractive but believes politics is a performance art “ added the 42nd President.

Clinton then compared Lake to Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance – arguing that both were subservient to Trump – but unfortunately stumbled over the word “prostrate.”

“Like JD Vance, she must prostrate herself before the master,” Clinton said.

Lake, a 55-year-old former television news anchor, responded to Clinton's “compliment” at a rally on Thursday with a reference to the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal.

“He said I was physically attractive. I woke up to this news this morning,” Lake said.

“As a middle-aged woman, I feel flattered. “I'm flattered, okay?” she added. “I don’t get compliments like that every day. Second, I thought I was a little too old for him. Does he not like interns?”

Meanwhile, at another Harris campaign rally in the Grand Canyon State, Clinton argued that the Republican Party's attacks on the vice president have left her “extremely vulnerable.”

The former president explained that there is only a “fraction” of voters who have not yet decided which presidential candidate they will support, “and what they (Harris) think largely depends on what they think about President Biden.” “

“But she is extremely vulnerable,” Clinton said. “More vulnerable than she should be, to crazy attacks.

“So they — the Republicans — have been thinking this whole time, how do we go on the attack?”

The latest RealClearPolitics polling average shows Harris trailing Trump by 1.5 percentage points in Arizona — while Gallego has a 6-point lead over Lake.

There are 11 Electoral College votes up for grabs in the swing state, which began early voting on Oct. 9.

Arizonans have supported a Democrat for president only twice since 1952 — in 1996, when Clinton won a second term, and in 2020, when Joe Biden defeated Trump.
