CNN has refuted a claim by gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake (R-AZ) that it lowered her audio during an interview Sunday morning.
Lake was pressed by CNN’s Dana Bash about whether she would accept the results of the upcoming election, which is viewed as one of the more tightly contested in the nation.
When asked if she would accept the results of the election, Lake was noncommittal.
“I’m going to win the election and I will accept that result,” the candidate said.
“If you lose, will you accept that?” Bash asked.
“I’m going to win the election and accept that result,” Lake reiterated. “The people will never support and vote for a coward like Katie Hobbs.”
In a tweet, Lake said “For some reason, CNN turned-down my audio on several occasions as I was speaking”, but said she was recording her own audio and posted the video to her Rumble account.
CNN’s public relations account responded with a link to the interview, saying “As you can see, there were no audio issues”.
