Bombshell Secret Audio Reveals Plot to Bribe Kari Lake to Stay Out of Race

Share

Arizona Republican Party Chair Jeff DeWit allegedly spoke to GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake, detailing a plan to encourage her not to run last year, according to a report.

A conversation between the two was recorded and published on Tuesday by the U.K. Daily Mail.

In the audio clip, a man who the Mail reported it had confirmed is DeWit could be heard telling Lake that there were powerful people who did not want to see her run.

He suggested she wait for two years and then offered her an undisclosed amount of money that he said should make her happy — which would come from people “back east.”

In the audio clip, Lake declined the offer while her counterpart refused to divulge “who” wanted her to stay out of the race.

“There are very powerful people who want to keep you out,” DeWit reportedly said, adding those people were “willing to put their money where their mouth is in a big way.”

Will Lake’s response increase her approval among frustrated voters?

Lake seemed taken aback by the conversation, which DeWit reportedly told her she should not divulge ever occurred.

“Don’t tell people,” he said.

She responded, ”This is about defeating Trump, and I think that’s a bad, bad thing for our country.”

The man reported to be DeWit then asked her to come up with a dollar amount, but she cut him off.

He said, “Just say, is there a number at which …”

She fired back, “I can be bought?”

She ultimately concluded, “’I don’t want to make a deal with these kinds of people. This is a hill worth dying on.”

Lake recalled an attempt at bribing her not to run for the Senate at CPAC last year — a claim much of the establishment media used to smear her.

“They came to my door, and they tried to bribe me out of getting out of politics,” Lake said in March 2023. “I’m telling you this because this is how disgusting politics is. A mom who runs for office, and they’re afraid of me?”

She continued, “This person standing before me was sent at the request of some powerful people back East.

“They want me out of politics. But wait a minute, I thought they already stopped us. Why are they so afraid? I thought they already stopped our movement.”

When reporting on Lake’s claim at the time, The Independent reported on it with the headline, “Kari Lake spins tale of attempted bribery to drop out of politics.”

The Western Journal has reached out to both Lake and DeWit for comment.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

 

Thank you for reading,

Josh Manning
