Arizona Republican candidate Kari Lake said her Democrat opponent, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, created a “major ethical problem” for not recusing herself as she runs for governor.

“We called for her to recuse herself July of last year of 2021, right after we got into the race, recognizing that there’s a major ethical problem there. Obviously, just the optics of it looks bad. And she didn’t do that,” Lake, a former local TV anchor, told Fox News on Sunday morning. “Even though many people been calling for her to recuse herself,” she added, “it creates problems to say the least.”
