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?"

And those weak RINOs are why the republicans are called the stupid party.

Ms. Cheney is actually quite a uniter.

One highly suspects that genuine Republicans and/or Conservative Indies look fondly forward to see her place second the Wyo GOP primary next month.

But there's more.

Watch for Liz Cheney's name to be brought up in questions during debates for the next two elections. More than just a litmus, more like a political third rail.

Can we all agree that she's (metaphorically) "toxic"?

There are definitely rats. Let us not lose sight of the prime target though, the traitor ten. We need all ten removed from office of which fat Liz is one.

If they won’t say it, they they aren’t worth a cup of warm spit and can go pound sand.

What a bunch of pussies. I am so sick of this BS. We just elect them so they can enrich themselves and watch porn in their offices, as long as that gravy train keeps rolling.

Trump got his wall without purging the party... he got Dobbs done without purging the party... those are his two biggies, right? He didn’t start this fight until he was basically out of office, right? And so purging the party didn’t help him get ANYTHING done. What is it you think you’re going to get done, once the Republican Party is ideologically pure?

...I mean, I guess the two guys that are left in it will find it easier to schedule their golf together...

Many Republicans secretly don’t support her but don’t want so say so publicly for fear of looking like they agree with Trump.

The Entire Republican Party supports her except the fringe 95%.

You’re saying the GOP isn’t full of Bush-Cheney supporters who secretly hate Trump? Boy are you naive.
