In a conversation on his " Hold These Truths" podcast, GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas said politicians and media figures acknowledge the lies they tell behind closed doors.

In an episode about rank-choice voting with Nick Troiano of Unite America, the good news is that no one will ever have the power to overturn elections. It was a lie all the time. It was a lie all the time. Everything was a lie. It was a lie meant to make people angry and I've talked about it before.

There is no process for challenging election results, as Trump-supporting Republicans intended to do, according to a former Navy Seal. In private conversations between members of the Republican party and political figures, he said, he has had arguments over members who perpetuate the lie.

People need to feel like they fought one last time, you know what I mean?" The election deniers have said to him to justify their public support of a false claim to the presidency. I was like, "No, it will not." People don't think that's what it is. That isn't what you're saying to them.

The Texas representative has taken a critical stance against the more extreme members of his party.

A lot of people in the political world are willing to say things that are not true. It's a big manipulation.

Insider did not get a response from representatives for Crenshaw.
