The actor called out a meme showing Kari Lake's face edited onto Wonder Woman with the caption 'MAGA Woman!' by sharing what the superhero's actual qualities represent.

Actor Lynda Carter, best known as the star of the 1970s live-action television series Wonder Woman, called out a meme comparing failed Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake to her most famous role.

The meme shows Lake's face edited onto Wonder Woman with the caption 'MAGA Woman!' and prompted Carter to share what the superhero's actual qualities represent.


Horrifyingly, the still shot posted by Carter is actually pulled from a full deep fake video featuring a Kari Lake as "MAGA Woman" in a full MAGA version of the iconic opening of the famed TV show.

In a blistering takedown, Carter wrote:

"Wonder Woman represents kindness, empathy, and pursuit of truth and justice. It is a delusion to believe Kari Lake could fill those boots, unless she’s just dropping by a Spirit Halloween store."

You can see her post below.

Lake—a known election denier and conspiracy theorist—has been one of former President Donald Trump's most vocal defenders, regularly amplifying his lies that the 2020 election was stolen.

Over the summer, she was criticized after stating that if prosecutors wanted to target the former President, they would have to go "through" her and the 75 million Americans who supported Trump and are members of the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Indeed, she took many pages out of Trump's playbook while campaigning against Katie Hobbs, the Arizona Secretary of State whom Lake threatened with imprisonment on baseless and unspecified allegations of criminality related to the 2020 election.

Lake's loss was yet another sign that those who've backed Trump's "Big Lie" were being repudiated at the ballot box. But she and her supporters alleged electoral wrongdoing right to the bitter end, even going so far as to demand the military step in and redo what they claimed was a "false" election as she continued to fall behind Hobbs.

Many concurred with Carter's assessment of Wonder Woman's qualities and Lake's lack thereof.



Carter has been very critical of the MAGA movement and has made headlines for her commentary more than once.

Last year, she mocked Trump following his announcement that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided his Mar-a-Lago estate by evoking the "Florida man" meme that refers to an alleged prevalence of male persons performing irrational or absurd actions in the state of Florida.

Carter has also been consistently praised for her progressive advocacy, often speaking out on matters related to women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and gun control.

She was cheered by her fans after she issued a strong and spirited defense of the rights of transgender people, who have been the subject of increased attacks by conservative legislatures around the United States.

Writing on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Carter said that she "cannot think of anything that helps women’s rights less than pinning the blame on trans women," adding that the community faces "so much violence and scrutiny as is."

Carter urged her readers to leave transgender people "alone and focus on the real war on women" that is "happening in the courts and legislatures around this country."

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
