Arizona GOP Chair Jeff DeWit resigns after leaked audio reveals he tried bribing Kari Lake into not running for Senate.

There should be a much bigger punishment besides a forced resignation.

Despite resigning, DeWit bizarrely blasted the audio footage, claiming it was a "deceptive tactic" and a "selectively edited audio recording."

He also appeared to suggest that legal action may be taken.

"In light of the recent revelation that Kari Lake has released a selectively edited audio recording of our private conversation, I must clearly address this deceptive tactic," he said.

"The recording, from over ten months ago, is not only taken out of context but also undermines the integrity of private discussions critical for party leadership."

"The ethical breach in her recording of our conversation, while Lake was my employee, raises serious legal and moral concerns."

DeWit said he is resigning because Lake reportedly has even more "damaging" recordings.
