Last Week In Kari Lake’s Nightmare Campaign: Boos; Financial Disclosures Questioned; Lake Lies Exposed
ARIZONA -– Chaos has surrounded Kari Lake’s nightmare Senate campaign in a no good, very bad week for Republicans. In case you missed it, Lake allegedly blackmailed the AZ GOP chair, got “booed” at an Arizona GOP meeting, faced scrutiny for her QAnon fundraiser and questions about her financial disclosures after they revealed she“ made $75,000 in speaking fees her campaign claimed she doesn’t charge.”
Lake has also faced an “onslaught of questions surrounding her own moral principles,” and scrutiny on her newly released financial disclosures:
KPNX/12 News: Kari Lake was paid $102,000 by company led by former Arizona GOP chairman she helped oust, financial disclosure shows
Business Insider: It pays to be MAGA: Kari Lake raked in $175,000 from speeches and book royalties in the year since losing the Arizona governor’s race
The Copper Courier reported that “Kari Lake made $75,000 in speaking fees her campaign claimed she doesn’t charge.”
