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?"

Translation:

[Many] some Republicans are secret Democrats and tell Liz Cheney they support her, but won't say it in public for fear they'll blow their cover, so a "new book" claims.

BS. Those who would vote for Cheney detest Trump. They aren’t afraid of him - they hate him.

145 GOP House members voted for her in Feb 2021.

You know this is true, even the ones who want it not to be.

Isn’t that Nancy Pelosi’s nom de plume?

Or Hunter Biden’s?
