The water rights attorney who is the new Republican nominee for Wyoming's at-large congressional district did not win the support of Rep. Liz Cheney.

In the August GOP primary, Hageman defeated Cheney by a margin of 34%.

During a conversation at The Texas Tribune Festival, Cheney said that Hageman should not serve in public office because she continued to spread false rumors about the 2020 presidential election.

Cheney told the media organization's chief executive thatHarriet is a member of the Wyoming State Bar and swore an oath to the constitution. She has said many of the same things that have resulted in people like Rudy Giuliani having their licenses suspended and she knows better.

She said that she doesn't think anyone should vote for people who are making false claims.

Cheney pointed out that Lake was a candidate who had continued to question the results of the election.

Lake is in a close race with the Secretary of State.

If she were to campaign with Democrats, she would make sure that candidates like Lake were unsuccessful at the ballot box.

She said that you have to vote for someone who believes in democracy. If we choose election deniers or people who will try to steal elections, then we are putting the Republic at risk.

Lake said that the Wyoming lawmaker's comments were a gift.

Lake told Maria Bartiromo that the gift was the best one he had ever received.

Liz Cheney might want to change her voter registration. She said that she actually is a Democrat.
