Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey tore into his own party on Sunday for lifting up the “misleading” Kari Lake to the top of the Republican primary to replace him, setting up the outgoing politician for a new fight with Donald Trump.
“This is all an act,” Doucy told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday’s State of the Union. “She’s been putting on a show for some time now, and we’ll see if the voters of Arizona buy it.”
Ducey has been one of Lake and Trump’s perennial enemies due to the governor’s insistence that the 2020 election was not stolen. He has backed lawyer Karrin Taylor Robson in the primary, scheduled for Aug. 2, a candidate Ducey has called “a real conservative” and “the real deal.”
