Arizona Republican Kari Lake reveals that she was offered a bribe to refrain from participating in politics for two years.
Speaking at CPAC 2023 on Saturday, Lake claimed that someone tried to bribe her out of politics just recently before she left for CPAC.
Kari Lake just told us at #CPAC the Left tried to bribe her to leave politics for the next 2 years.

They try to sideline leaders: Pres Trump, Matt Schlapp, James O’Keefe, me & others.
The pattern of the Left’s behavior is clear – but so is ours: We’re not going anywhere!
“Somebody showed up at my door this week,” Lake said. “They called me before and said: I gotta talk to you in person, this can’t be done over the phone … They came to my door and they tried to bribe me out of getting out of politics. This really happened. I’m telling you this because this is how disgusting politics is. A mom who runs for office and they’re afraid of me? They tried to bribe me with a job title, with a huge salary, a position on a board.”
“I’m not going anywhere,” she concluded.
This comes as Lake continues her legal battle against local election authorities and Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs after losing the midterm elections last year.
Lake claimed several irregularities in the 2022 gubernatorial election, including voting machine issues in 60 percent of the county’s 115 polling places.
“Lake included a graphic displaying a sampling of ballots that were counted despite being signed in a hand that appeared to differ sharply from the voter’s signature in the voter registration database,” Just the News reported at the time. “The signatures that Lake posted were shared in a presentation to the Arizona state Senate Elections Committee the day she tweeted them.”
The court later reviewed Lake’s case after Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes referred it for criminal prosecution to Attorney General Kris Mayes over a tweet regarding the improper counting of ballots with mismatched signatures in Senate testimony.
“Today’s Senate Testimony CONFIRMS nearly 40,000 ballots illegally counted (10% of the signatures reviewed),” Lake tweeted on January 23. “I think all the ‘Election Deniers’ out there deserve an apology.”
The majority of counties in Arizona do not count ballots at polling places. Instead, officials bring the ballots to a central facility for counting.
Maricopa County’s main election building, where votes are tabulated, was the scene of protests by hundreds of Trump supporters after former President Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 election.
