The Republicans wanted to destroy her for the exactly the same reason they are out to destroy Trump Both Lake and Trump are populists who have a power base not controlled by the Establishment and they serve the people and do not work to enrich a small cabal of insiders. The establishment is totally self interested, feckless and unscrupulous so they have no problems cutting dirty deals with the Democrats as long as the small group pf Establishment republicans get paid off in the process
The Rank and File are fighting hard to pry the control of the party back from the Establishment. They are winning and the soon to be losers are getting desperate and are using vindictive attacks to cling to power.
Listen to the recent Kari Lake tape where DeWit explains that it is all about Republican back scratching and anyone who is unwilling to scratch the Establishment Republicans backs, or more importantly to the point, not in any position to scratch the Establishment Republicans backs must be eliminated. DeWit pretty much exposed the entire scam in few short sentences.
The reason the Republican establishment in Az is so opposed to Lake is because she is "not on the team", does not wish to become a member of "the team" because Lake has no interested in joining their mutual back scratching club.
Rona just confirmed all of the De Wit conversation in the above in this video.
Best of all, since the mutual back scratching club has secret decoder ring, Lake's recording of the conversation means she is not able to keep cabal secrets she will never be part of the team, even if she wanted to because as DeWit has said. Lake has broken trust of the golden rule of back scratching - no one talks about back scratching in public.
This is a good thing

“”””Kari Lake won the Arizona election but was cheated out of the win be a coalition of Establishment Republicans and Democrats.”””
Very well stated, along with the rest of your comments.
And welcome to the team of FReepers who see the RNC as nothing more than co-conspirators with the DNC to keep MAGA type candidates from winning.
And I would add to your comments with this-—
Donald Trump won the 2020 election but was cheated out of the win by a coalition of Establishment Republicans and Democrats.
+1.
The Georgia GROPElite “inside Atlanta power club” also hates and fears Trump, just like the Arizona GROPElite continues to fight Kari Lake. I’ve seen that hatred in the Cobb County GOP “leadership in their faces at even county convention delegates in 2016, 2018.
