There were tapes? Arizona Republican Chair tries to soft peddle a well known wack job out of losing once again.
..."In the recording, published by the Daily Mail on Tuesday, DeWit tries to dissuade Lake, who lost the gubernatorial election in Arizona in 2022 and has served as a surrogate for Trump in this election cycle, from seeking a Senate seat in 2024. He suggests she instead run for governor again in 2026.
“There are very powerful people who want to keep you out. … But they’re willing to put their money where their mouth is in a big way. So, this conversation never happened,” DeWit says in the recording.

He later continues, “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 responds, “This is about defeating Trump and I think that’s a bad, bad thing for our country.”
In another portion of the exchange, DeWit says: “Just say, is there a number at which-” to which Lake interjects: “I can be bought? 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 continues. But Lake repeatedly rebuffs his offers, saying it was “not about money. It’s about our country.”" WP

I'd really like a Republican to explain how they can in good conscience pull that lever for a party of crooks.
