AUSTIN — Conservative Rep. Liz Cheney said Saturday that she might want to lobby for liberals as she scrutinized her party's acknowledgment of up-and-comers who keep the outcomes from getting the 2020 political decision.

"Indeed," Cheney said basically when inquired as to whether she'd advocate for leftists — the first time she's said so expressly.

Cheney offered the comment in a conversation at the Texas Tribune Celebration in Austin while discussing Arizona gubernatorial competitor and political decision denier Kari Lake.

Cheney, who has been a vocal pundit of previous President Donald Trump, said "partisanship must have a cutoff" and referenced Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who has said he will lobby for Lake.

"He's shown that he's someone who has not gotten involved with the poison of Donald Trump — yet he crusaded as of late for Kari Lake, who's a political race denier, who is hazardous," Cheney said.

"That is the sort of thing we can't find in our party. We can't see a convenience like that, and I believe we genuinely must be clear about that," Cheney said.

Asked explicitly assuming she'd lobby for Katie Hobbs — Lake's Vote based rival — Cheney said: "I will give my very best for ensure that Kari Lake isn't chosen."

Cheney, R-Wyoming, is on out of Congress, after she lost the conservative essential to a Trump-moved challenger in August.
