A photo of Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake staying seated during the performance of a song dubbed the “Black National Anthem” during the Super Bowl game on Sunday has gone viral.

Lake, who has refused to concede the gubernatorial race to Gov. Katie Hobbs, was photographed sitting during the playing of the song “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” unofficially known as the Black National Anthem, at the Feb. 12 Super Bowl game at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
