Liz Cheney Releases Memoir Criticizing Trump and His Supporters

Six Key Points from Cheney's Book

Liz Cheney, a former Republican congresswoman who served as vice chair of the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, has released a memoir titled "In My Time." In the book, Cheney sharply criticizes former President Donald Trump and his supporters, arguing that they continue to pose a threat to American democracy.

Cheney's Concerns About the GOP

Cheney expresses concerns about the direction of the Republican Party under Trump's influence. She argues that the party has become increasingly authoritarian and anti-democratic, and that it has abandoned its commitment to conservative principles. Cheney also accuses Trump and his allies of promoting conspiracy theories and undermining trust in the electoral process.

Cheney's Role in the January 6 Investigation

Cheney played a key role in the House select committee's investigation into the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. She helped lead the committee's work and presented its findings to the public in a series of televised hearings. Cheney has also been outspoken in her criticism of Trump's role in the insurrection.

Cheney's Departure from the GOP

Cheney's decision to release her memoir is seen as a further sign of her break with the Republican Party. She has been a vocal critic of Trump and his supporters, and her book is likely to further alienate her from the party establishment. Cheney has not ruled out running for president in 2024, but it is unclear whether she will run as a Republican or as an independent.
