Arizona GOP Chair Jeff DeWit resigns following leaked Kari Lake audio

Quote

Jan 24, 2024, 12:15 PM | Updated: 12:36 pm

PHOENIX — Arizona Republican Party Chair Jeff DeWit resigned Wednesday after audio was leaked of him apparently offering Kari Lake a financial incentive to stay out of the 2024 U.S. Senate race.

DeWit’s departure comes as The Daily Mail, a British news organization, released audio on Tuesday from the March 2023 conversation between the two. DeWit, in announcing his resignation, said the clip was a “deceptive tactic” and a “selectively edited audio recording.”

“I said things I regret, but I realize when hearing Lake’s recording that I was set up,” DeWit said in a statement.

“I believe she orchestrated this entire situation to have control over the state party and it is obvious from the recording that she crafted her performance responses with the knowledge that she was recording it, intending to use this recording later to portray herself as a hero in her own hero.

Garrett Archer is a worm!  I'd go look at this tweet, but he blocked me.  He bills himself as a brilliant statistician, and I replied to him that he loves statistics the way OJ Simpson loved Nicole Brown.

Steve Bannon says that the DeSantis campaign  possibly was in league with the guy who allegedly threatened Kari Lake.

The guy on the recording with Kari Lake is Jeff DeWit.

- Trump‘s 2016 AZ chair
- Trump‘s NASA CFO
- Trump‘s 2020 campaign COO
Something tells me DeWit isn’t a DeSantis guy.

He's not exactly a Cyber Liberty guy, either.  We're happy in our corner of the state.  I'm looking forward to his minions paying a price, too.

I've never trusted Bannon. He was full of crap back in 2016 when I first heard of him. He's not a conservative.

In his resignation statement, he trashed the state of the AZGOP, calling it a shambles.

Kelli Ward, the prior Chair, disagrees.   I can back up her claims:  https://kelliward.com/email-letters/20240124-dewittresigns

DeWit, in announcing his resignation, said the clip was a “deceptive tactic” and a “selectively edited audio recording.”

The recording can be heard here, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12996297/EXCLUSIVE-Audio-recording-reveals-moment-senior-Republican-figure-tried-bribe-Kari-Lake-not-run-Senate.html . It's over 10 1/2 minutes long, so "selectively edited" my excessively substantial ...

On another tack, is trying to bribe someone not to run for office a criminal act? State of Arizona or Federal law?

Who knew the GOP estblishment was run by very powerful people back East who have contempt for people out West?

I am not one of those very powerful people back East.

If the GOP/RNC had anything to offer the deplorables, it would not feel the need to rig its primaries.  Same goes for Dems.

Michael Patrick Leahy – Sources: The Jeff DeWit “Message Came From The NRSC” aka Mitch McConnell
January 24, 2024 | Sundance

Michael Patrick Leahy appears on Steve Bannon War Romm discussing, in part, the Jeff DeWit message to Kari Lake and who from “back east” was the originator of the message to bribe Mrs Lake to stay out of the Arizona senate race.   

As expected, the sources for MPL’s report outline that Mitch McConnell and the National Republican Senatorial Committee originated the proposal.  This should not be a surprise to anyone who reads CTH.   The NRSC is primarily funded by the biggest lobbying group, the U.S Chamber of Commerce.  The USCoC fund the legislative priorities of the Senate and Mitch McConnell does their bidding.  In essence the bribe money would come from the USCoC into the NRSC.
