Kari Lake is booed at bad-tempered meeting of the Arizona Republican Party days after chairman is forced to resign
Dailymail ^ | Jan 28, 2024 | Rob Crilly

Party officials from across the state gathered in Phoenix for a long scheduled meeting and to select a replacement for Jeff DeWit, who stood down after DailyMail.com published a recording of the moment he apparently offered Lake a bribe not to run again.

But the secret audio has divided the party. While some have applauded Lake, a firebrand hardliner who is close to Donald Trump, others accused her of secretly wearing a wire to set up DeWit.

Witnesses said she was booed for a minute as she tried to make the case for Gina Swoboda to be elected chair of the Arizona party.

The outbursts reflect the crisis facing the Arizona party, as different wings squabble over who is to blame for fundraising problems.

After DeWit resigned, Trump canceled an appearance at the party's 'Freedom Fest' on Friday, which would have brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars in a crucial election year.

More on how the mccain republicans would rather throw the state and the elections to the left, so they can regain their control ....

Since there doesn't seem to be much interest in Lake or arizona here....

Gina Swobada won as the next AZ republican party chair

The Swamp doesn’t take kindly when someone knocks off one of their own.

It will take a generation to rid AZ of the corrupt Lord Cain.

“others accused her of secretly wearing a wire to set up DeWit.”

Yeah, catching his attempt at bribery and payoffs from DC is a “set up”.

Political parties suck.


A reminder that communism has a solution for that. Only one party.

And wore a “wire”? She slip him a “Mickey” also?

She probably recorded him with her Iphone. And had she not, no telling what lies he woulda made up about HER. It was for her protection.

If I were Lake, I would have said, “That’s it I’m wearing a wire. I’ve recorded everything you said, and I will see to it that is it published immediately.”

Naw. That wouldn’t work. Say so before the conversation even starts. That way the conversation can be all about yoga.

Go sip your freaking martinis, all you pompous GOP elitists. You hate us, and we know it. Every boo is a small victory for justice in America, for a change.

How many of them were on the DeWit gravy train that has now derailed? They may have votes that have not been paid for yet.
