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 Trump,” CNN reports.
Cheney delivers a particularly devastating takedown of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who she says told her that Trump knew he’d lost the election.
Cheney is also critical of McCarthy’s successor, Speaker Mike Johnson, who “appeared especially susceptible to flattery from Trump and aspired to being anywhere in Trump’s orbit.”
