Republican lawmakers privately support to Rep. Liz Cheney but refuse to do so in public for fear of former President Donald Trump, according to extracts from a new book.
The claim appeared in "Thank You For Your Servitude," by Mark Leibovich, a political writer who speak years at The New York Times Magazine and now writes for The Atlantic.
The book is devoted to exploring Trump's circle, and alleges that many people who support him in public are hypocrites who privately dislike him.
One Republican member of Congress to vocally oppose Trump is Cheney, who was stripped of a party leadership role in 2021 for criticizing the former president.
Since then, Cheney has found an influential spot as one of two Republicans on the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol.
In his book, Leibovich wrote: "The wonder of this was that many Republicans agree with Cheney, quite a few of them members of her caucus. They say as much, tell her what a great job she is doing, how heroic she's been."
"But they only ever tell her this privately, always privately—just between you and me, please don't repeat this, off the record, okay?"

The NYT and the Atlantic. —- you’ve gotta be kidding me.
LIARS.
I don’t think it is fear of Trump that Republican lawmakers are afraid, it is their voters who support him. As for some not particularly liking Trump, I can kind of understand that. A political outsider who wins the Presidency in his first attempt at any police office is bound to cause some resentment.
As for “Cheney has found an influential spot as one of two Republicans on the House committee...”. She is a member of a committee 100% of which voted to impeach President Trump for what he did or didn’t do on January 6, 2021. Sounds like a bunch dedicated to finding the truth of what happened. /s
Stay out of teton county wyoming too
In the boys’ room?
That is a recipe for disaster — that the maintenance/janitorial will have to clean up — daily.
Whoever thought that was a good idea should win a free trip to Bellview Psychiatric.
Since when do rational patriots take anything Business Insider says seriously?
It is a globalist. fellow-traveling, propaganda rag...
Well let’s just see what the Wyoming voters say about that.
The old bush crowd loves her
Oops!
Posted in wrong thread.
Please ignore.
“Republican lawmakers privately support to Rep. Liz Cheney...”
Huh?
“...a political writer who speak years at The New York Times Magazine...”
What? Incoherence and babbling has become stock-in-trade for the various 50-IQ imbeciles scribbling in the failing media.
That one smells funny.
So, many Republicans are still play acting. Not news Liz.
Penguin.
What do you expect?
In fact almost all of book publishing has been totally taken over by the left.
Before we were watching, they Gramsci’d us and everybody else.
They are politicians who might need her support on future votes.
I hope the people on this thread in RINO denial would read through your posts, there are far more of them than people are willing to admit to themselves.
We already know this of course.
*************
The party VERY RELCTANTLY (it took two votes to do it) removed her from her formal leadership position but we shouldn’t be misled by this maneuver. The Lizard is still very influential and respected in the GOP. Most of the party still views her a one of the top leaders.
