Kari Lake, the longtime Phoenix-area news anchor turned Trump-backed candidate for Arizona governor, has been campaigning with a man who pleaded guilting to trying to hire a hitman to kill an FBI informant.
Lake, who is no stranger to controversy, has previously been documented campaigning with QAnon followers and Nazi sympathizers.
In 2020, Mendoza was dropped from speaking at the Republican National Convention after it came to light she pushed QAnon conspiracy theories on social media, including a claim that Jews were plotting to take over the world.
