Many Republicans secretly tell Liz Cheney they support her but won't say it in public for fear of Trump, a new book says

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?"

Either Mark Leibovich doesn’t have the balls to name names (beyound the same old, same old 6 well known RINO’s) - or he’s lying.

Mark Leibovich

If you ever want the pure distilled hatred the elitist marxist progressive ‘betters’ hold for anyone not ‘them,’ read anything from this little creep.

Oh yeah I’ll bet they are agreeing with her by the tens.

It’s such a joke to see a rally and read that the traitors are to be believed.

NONSENSE>

“Many” is how many? They have reason to fear Trump. Not violence, not ridicule, but the fact that MOST Republicans openly support Trump and think that Liz Cheney is a bad joke and a traitor to her party. What is the source for this, anyway? Liz Cheney? Pathetic.

The Elites were quite comfortable with riots coming to us and even the White House but freaked out when the “peaceful protests” came to them.

They believe they are safe with the security they get.

If course, they could care less about your safety and the safety of your family.
