collaborators’ of Trump, whom one member called ‘Orange Jesus’ 

In her new book, former Rep. Liz Cheney paints a scathing portrait of the Republican Party, condemning her former colleagues and party leaders as “enablers and collaborators,” who after the 2020 election were “willing to violate their oath to the Constitution out of political expediency and loyalty to Donald rump.

”The book, “Oath and Honor,” with a Dec. 5 release date, is an unflinching account of what Cheney calls the GOP’s “cowardice,” and how so many were willing to support former President Donald rump, who she calls “the most dangerous man ever to inhabit the Oval Office.”

Cheney delivers a particularly devastating take-down of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who she says told her that Trump knew he’d lost the election. Cheney is also critical of McCarthy’s successor,

House Speaker Mike Johnson, who “appeared especially susceptible to flattery from Trump and aspired to being anywhere in Trump’s orbit,” she writes.

The book serves both as a roadmap laying out how Cheney realized in the days and weeks following the election the dangers of what the rump and his allies were trying to do to overturn the 2020 election, as well as a stark warning that she believes the checks and balances of the Constitution will not hold if the rump is reelected in 2024.

“Oath and Honor” ends with a call to action that Cheney asserts is more important than partisan politics.“Every one of us – Republican, Democrat, Independent – must work and vote together to ensure that Donald Trump and those who have appeased, enabled, and collaborated with him are defeated.”Cheney concludes: “This is the cause of our time.”
