Less than a day after a bombshell recording of a conversation in which he seemingly attempted to bribe Kari Lake to stay out of politics for two years surfaced, Arizona Republican Party Chair Jeff DeWit has resigned, and had some harsh words for Lake in his resignation statement.

DeWit admits that the conversation between himself and Lake occurred, but says that the recording that was released was “selectively edited” and “taken out of context.” He says that Lake worked for him in his “private company” at the time and the conversation was one between an employer and employee, and that the release of the recording was “not just a betrayal of trust but also a violation of the fiduciary responsibilities of an employee.”
It seems odd to claim…
