Kari Lake has emerged victorious in the political scandaI that rocked Arizona’s GOP establishment. Jeff DeWit, the chair of the Arizona Republican Party, announced his resignation on Wednesday amidst controversy involving a bribe offer to Lake, as revealed in recently leaked audio recordings.
The recordings captured a conversation between DeWit and Lake.
DeWit, 51, was heard offering Lake a substantiaI monetary incentive to temporarily withdraw from politics. This exposed the apparent attempt by some Republican elites to manipulate the political landscape, particularly the upcoming Senate race for Lake in Arizona.
In the recording, DeWit said that very powerful people were eager to see Lake step back, proposing a financial arrangement to facilitate this. Lake vehemently rejected the proposition. This is not about money. This is about our country, Lake said in the recording. I can be bought? That’s what it’s about?” she shot back.
