Kari Lake Demands Resignation Of "Corrupt" GOP Chair Caught Trying To Bribe Her

Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake called on the state's GOP chair Jeff DeWit to resign after a recording emerged of him trying to bribe Lake to stay out of politics for two years.

In the recording, first reported by the Daily Mail, DeWit, 51, can be heard asking lake to name her price not to run.

"There are very powerful people who want to keep you out," he can be heard telling her in a conversation recorded last March.

Jeff DeWit and his wife Marina with President Donald Trump.

He then, after asking her not to mention the conversation to anyone, makes his first offer:

"So the ask I got today from back east was: "Is there any companies out there or something that could just put her on the payroll to keep her out?"

Lake is taken aback.

"This is about defeating Trump and I think that's a bad, bad thing for our country," she replied.

DeWit later framed it in a different way.

"Just say, is there a number at which -

"I can be bought?" Lake interjected. "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 replied.

Lake repeatedly shuts him down, and says she wouldn't pull out for a billion dollars.

"This is not about money, it's about our country," she says (one her own recording, we're guessing).

Listen (via Collin Rugg):

 Following the report, Lake called on DeWit to resign.

"He’s gotta resign. We can’t have somebody who is corrupt and compromised running the Republican Party," she told an NBC reporter during Trump's New Hampshire primary victory party.

Just one question...
