Kari Lake Hit With Chorus Of Boos From Arizona Republicans After GOP Chairman Scandal

The GOP Senate candidate was booed at an Arizona Republican Party meeting to elect the next chairperson after the former chairman resigned following leaked audio in which he appeared to tell Lake to stay out of politics.

Gatherers at the Arizona Republican Party conference booed and jeered the state's 2024 GOP Senate election candidate Kari Lake this weekend.

The raucous reception followed a scandal tying Lake to Arizona GOP Chairman Jeff DeWit, who was halfway through his two-year term when a leaked audio recording suggesting she stay out of politics by offering a job and asking her to name her price led to his resignation on Wednesday.


DeWit has now been replaced by Gina Swoboda, an election activist endorsed by former Republican President Donald Trump, to succeed DeWit as the new Chair of the Arizona Republican Party.

Lake was previously a news anchor for Phoenix television station KSAZ-TV. She stepped down from her position just as Trump endorsed her GOP candidacy for her unsuccessful 2022 Gubernatorial race.

"You may not agree with me on everything," she told the Arizona GOP crowd over the weekend.

She continued suggesting they could both unite by meeting halfway, saying:

"But what we can agree on is that elections in Arizona are a corrupt mess election."
"Can we agree that elections are a mess in Arizona?"

Attendees didn't think so, and let her know with a chorus of boos.

One audience member was heard yelling:

“You did it!"

Here is a clip, shared by Washington Post reporter Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, in which you can hear the unfavorable reception.



The derision and mockery aimed at Lake continued online.







Lake is one of several Republicans endorsed by Trump to face scrutiny.

After losing the 2022 Gubernatorial race to Democrat and former Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, Lake cited election fraud, a response right out of Trump's playbook.

Lake refused to concede and sought legal counsel to challenge the election results following her defeat, but to no avail.

Courts dismissed numerous lawsuits filed by her team due to lack of evidence.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
