Not by dems but by her own party members. Good. She's a screeching, lying harraden.
PHOENIX — When Kari Lake speaks to the Republican Party faithful, she’s accustomed to cheers and adulation.
But as the Arizona Senate candidate addressed hundreds of the state GOP’s most loyal activists late last month, she was booed so loudly the sound carried through a cavernous megachurch’s auditorium into the lobby.
The booing followed by days the release of a secret recording made of her conversation last year with Jeff DeWit, then the state party chair. During their discussion, DeWit said that important people did not want Lake to run for Senate and wondered if she would think about instead going on a corporate payroll. Lake told him that she would not “be bought” and publicly cast the offer as evidence of bribery.

She is why we have a Dem governor. She was just sooooo horrible, even in a red state, she couldn't get enough votes. Hobbs didn't win in a landslide, but we haven't had a Dem governor since (I think) Babbitt (in the 80s?). If a more sensible candidate had run, likely Hobbs would have lost. Not that she is bad, but we are a red state. Reps have an advantage here, for the most part.
Similar to how McSally lost BOTH senate seats to Dems. Again, horrible candidate. So we have Sinema and Kelly. Both likely would have lost to a more reasonable -less harpy-like- candidate.

I don't follow, she apparently is being boo'ed by the Republicans, not for rejecting a bribe, but exposing the bribe attempt by the republican machine. I would think you would praise her for causing that embarrassment.

Just a guess, but I think the Rep leadership in the state realize she can't win unless she runs against a breathtakingly bad candidate. And while I have my issues with Kelly and Sinema (mostly Sinema), they aren't that bad.
She also makes the Party look bad by continuing her rantings about stolen elections (i.e. hers). It's hard to take her seriously. She should go back to being an anchor, except I suspect no station would have her now.
