Arizona GOP Chairman Jeff DeWit allegedly attempted to offer money to Kari Lake to keep her out of the 2024 U.S. Senate race, in a recording posted on Tuesday.
In an audio recording obtained by the Daily Mail, the authenticity of which was confirmed by Lake to Just the News, DeWit allegedly made the offer to Lake in March 2023.
The Daily Mail confirmed with two sources that the identity of the other speaker on the recording was DeWit.
A transcript by the Daily Mail of the exchange is below:
"Just say, is there a number at which...." DeWit started.
Lake cut in: "I can be bought? That's what it's about."
"You can take a pause for a couple of years. You can go right back to what you're doing," DeWit said.
Lake repeatedly said she wouldn't do it for millions of dollars or a billion dollars.
"This is not about money, it's about our country," she said.
The Arizona GOP didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Let the damn voters decide, not establishment nor donors.

I question recording other people. Seems like anyone who has spoken to her might be concerned. But, that's between her and DeWitt. I know I would not trust her after this.
Why did she wait 10 months to release these tapes.
And what's with the "other tapes" they have that they leveraged against him.
Shady to say the least.

Apparently Lake got booed pretty good at the AZ GOP Mandatory Meeting.
That is what is being reported.
I want to hear from those I know attended the meeting.
Some of them are die hard Lake supporters. Others are not.
