"Let's be clear: for nearly two years Kari Lake and her allies have been spreading dangerous misinformation and inciting threats against anyone they see fit," DeMont continued. "The threats against Arizonans attempting to exercise their constitutional rights and their attacks on elected officials are the direct result of a concerted campaign of lies and intimidation."
Lake responded to the allegations, calling them "absolutely absurd," then seemingly implied that Hobbs was making the story up. She was "saddened that Hobbs and her camp would try to pin this on us," and dismissed the remarks as defamatory, per CNN.
"She's trying to deflect from her own abysmal campaign and the fact that, you know, nobody even knows where her campaign office is," Lake said.
