Party officials from across the state gathered in Phoenix for a long scheduled meeting and to select a replacement for Jeff DeWit, who stood down after DailyMail.com published a recording of the moment he apparently offered Lake a bribe not to run again.
But the secret audio has divided the party. While some have applauded Lake, a firebrand hardliner who is close to Donald Trump, others accused her of secretly wearing a wire to set up DeWit.
Witnesses said she was booed for a minute as she tried to make the case for Gina Swoboda to be elected chair of the Arizona party.
The outbursts reflect the crisis facing the Arizona party, as different wings squabble over who is to blame for fundraising problems.
After DeWit resigned, Trump canceled an appearance at the party's 'Freedom Fest' on Friday, which would have brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars in a crucial election year.

Gina Lollobrigida will be no better than the last one. The AZ GOP is doomed. The state has turned blue.
“Did she ever release the recording for independent verification?”
Yeah, she did.
Still far too many McCainites in the Arizona Republican party. They need to be purged.
Interesting that AZ RINOs are bitching EXACTLY like mobsters
about anyone who ‘rats’ on the gang.

If you don’t do anything wrong, you can’t be ‘setup’.
Yup. Swoboda, the Trump AND Lake endorsed candidate, won the party chair vote.
The McCain RINO's have lost their grip.
She’s the one they tried to bribe.
Arizona Republicans(?), get yourselves under control.
PA GoP I’d the exact same way. They are Uniparty hacks. Would absolutely rather a democrat win rather than the wrong kind of Republican
Hardly.
The Trump/Lake/Swoboda MAGA wing now dominates the AZ Republican Party.
And it was Lake's courage to turn down the payoff that accomplished this.
I tend to agree. After the DeWit/GOP election manipulation attempt, they should be running for the tall grass..
You are correct, and it is good news
That’s good advice!
Right...duh, winning!

“The state has turned blue.“
The state has not turn blue. Now the people that count the votes might make it appear to be blue. Trump and Lake won by tens of thousands legal votes.
Let us assume she did for a moment. Why would it be a bad thing to uncover corruption again?
Swoboda is an election integrity expert. I’m on my cell phone which limits searching and posting, so I am asking readers to do their own research on Gina, and post supporting links to articles here. Thank you.
Republicans are not my friends.
“Wearing a wire” is mostly obsolete. Smartphones are now reliable and effective enough to usually do the job.
