Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, reportedly shared an anti-Trump “not my president” meme on Facebook.

Fox News reported Wednesday that Lake posted the meme ahead of Trump’s inauguration in 2017. Lake deleted the post after Fox News reached out for comment.

The meme was accompanied by a call to action for those who opposed Trump.

“Will you be protesting the inauguration? If so, which of these suggestions will you adopt? Will you boycott TV coverage? Wear black? Donate money the ACLU, NAACP or Planned Parenthood? Use the hashtag #NotMyPresident? Will you unfollow Donald Trump?” the post said.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who served under Trump, endorsed Lake’s primary opponent Karrin Taylor Robson earlier this week.

“As Arizona Democrats pursue the reckless Biden-Harris agenda, Karrin Taylor Robson is the only candidate for governor that will keep Arizona’s border secure and streets safe, empower parents and create great schools, and promote conservative values,” Pence told The Washington Post in a statement.

In a Twitter thread thanking Pence for the endorsement, Robson appeared to take a shot at Lake.

“Modern politics is full of charlatans & fakes, but VP Pence is the genuine article. He has never wavered in his conservative beliefs & commitment to our Constitution, & left a rock-solid legacy as Gov to which I will aspire,” she tweeted.
