The former U.S. congresswoman and co-chair of the January 6 committee is getting ready to release her new book “Oath and Honor” about her epic falling out with her own party following Donald Trump‘s failed coup in 2021.
The book, which CNN says “paints a scathing portrait of the Republican Party” and condemns “her former colleagues and party leaders as ‘enablers and collaborators’,” hits bookstores next Tuesday and is already #1 on Amazon’s bestseller list because of pre-orders.
NBC News confirms CNN: In her new book, Liz Cheney paints a scathing portrait of the Republican Party, condemning ex-colleagues as "enablers and collaborators," who were "willing to violate their oath to the Constitution out of political expediency and loyalty to Donald Trump."
CNN got its hands on an advanced copy and has been teasing details from it, including a super awkward exchange she had with Kevin McCarthy about him being summoned to Mar-a-Lago to personally check on Trump after he lost the 2020 election, sunk into a deep depression, and stopped eating.
“They’re really worried,” McCarthy allegedly told her. “Trump’s not eating, so they asked me to come see him.”
To which Cheney replied, “What? You went to Mar-a-Lago because Trump’s not eating?”
The 384-page book also includes Cheney’s firsthand account of the weeks leading up to January 6 and her mounting concerns that Trump, who she labels “the most dangerous man ever to inhabit the Oval Office”, was plotting something sinister.
She also writes for the first time ever about being being accidentally included on a White House call where she overheard specific plans to try to overturn the election, which left her with “a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.”
It also details the terrifying experience of being inside the Capitol building when the MAGA militia stormed the building and how quickly she became alienated from her Republican colleagues for speaking out and voting to impeach Trump. (Cheney was one of only 10 Republicans who voted for impeachment.)
“This was feeling more like middle school than the US Congress,” she recalls.
Cheney is planning a media blitz, starting with an appearance on Rachel Maddow‘s show next Monday, which will be her first time ever sitting down with the MSNBC host.
Next week!
Liz Cheney's first prime time interview about her new book, and Rachel Maddow's first interview with Liz Cheney ever!
She has also vowed to do anything and everything she can to prevent Trump from getting reelected in 2024, saying she’ll do “whatever it takes.”
“I certainly will do whatever it takes to make sure Donald Trump isn’t anywhere close to the Oval Office,” she said during an appearance at The Texas Tribune Festival in September.
“I’m going to make sure Donald Trump, make sure he’s not the nominee. And if he is the nominee, I won’t be a Republican.”
Every now and then, Liz Cheney emerges to remind us that even a broken clock is right twice a day.
In an appearance on CNN’s Face the Nation last month, Cheney was asked if would rule out a 2024 presidential run, to which she replied somewhat ambiguously, “No, I’m not.”
(No, she’s not running? Or, no she’s not ruling it out??)
“I will tell you what I’m definitely going to do,” Cheney continued. “I’m going to spend the next year, between now and the election, certainly helping to elect serious people, helping to elect sane people to Congress.”
“We are facing a moment in American politics where we have to set aside partisanship, and we have to make sure that people who believe in the Constitution are willing to come together to prevent him from ever again setting foot anywhere near the Oval Office.”
“Oath and Honor” is out Tuesday, December 5.

Rs = Traitors. A handful of honorable Rs won’t make a difference. The entire party is shot. I’ve always liked Liz and look forward to seeing her on Rachael.
Welp there’s also a reason the GQP can’t seem to win an election since 2016 and considering she’s the only one to have stopped chugging the koolaide, I bet she has some pretty good insights.
And you’re right, there is a reason she is no longer in office. Because Republicans cannot have any disagreement about their Dear Leader so they censured and primaried her to keep the apparatchiks in line.
I actually do know of several people who are going to buy this book, though I personally will not. The reason she’s no longer in office is because she did the proper thing by opposing Don the Con’s attempted coup on January 6, 2021, and then agreed to serve on the Congressional committee to investigate his treasonous @ss.
There must be a special Palm Beach catering co that is keeping this porker well fed….
The Commonly-used Pig Feeding Troughs
The feeder trough is a necessary facility in pig operations, and it has various types used for large-sized pigs, medium-sized pigs and small-sized pigs, boars and sows, etc. The pig feeding troughs with different designs and sizes are suitable for different pigs.
How many percentage points did you lose by in the Republican primary election? (Harriet Hageman 66.3% / Liz Cheney 28.9%) Take a hint, Lizzie.
Cheney’s publisher stands to lose millions because nobody gives a $hit what she thinks. Perhaps she should have sold wildly overpriced “art” a la Hunter.
Thank you to House Speaker Mike Johnson for starting the release of the January 6th footage. As additional footage is being released, it is becoming more and more apparent what really happened that day. Liz Cheney and the corrupt J6 House committee should be tried and sent to prison for lying to the American public and committing treason. The very same people who purposely hid the J6 footage are the same people who told you the elections were fair. Let’s have a real investigation now that the January 6th footage is being released. All in the name of transparency.
Jimmy Kimmel brutally shuts down Marjorie Taylor Greene’s request to be on his show
“Marjorie Taylor Greene’s book is such a bomb, I might have to report it to the Capitol Police,”
The late-night host gave viewers a run-down of its contents, saying: “It’s got some revisionist history, it’s got conspiracy theories, it’s got Jewish space lasers, and of course Marje’s famous recipe for Gazpacho Police in a petri dish, which is getting a lot of negative views online, which I guess is what happens when you tell your supporters that reading makes them gay.”
Henry Kissinger did more damage to this globe in 8 years than some people might do in 8,000 years! Good riddance to a truly horrible monster masquerading as a human being.
It’s funny McCarthy says that Liz is “deranged” when she stated this convo was by text. That’s why McCarthy wont sue bc it’s facts. He knows it’s true and he’s a complete and utter joke.
My chief issue with Liz Cheney, beyond the fact of her being a far-right-wing Republican fanatic with a terrible history on most issues, is that she woke up too late, and served Don the Con’s corrupt power scheme for nearly his entire term, until he lost to Joe Biden. It was only then that she realized, uh oh, the fascist is going to try to stage a coup, and said no thanks. But why did you serve this monster’s schemes for four years, Liz? WHY?
So what you’re really saying is that this lady can not be trusted. And I do declare! I totally agree. Totally. It’s standard GOP, right out of central casting. Pathetic people.
Fair enough. But I’d rather see her on her continue on her current and powerful vendetta than have her disappear altogether – which she could very easily do.
True. She’s always bothered me. And her mother was annoying, too. As are all Republican women. The rotten apples don’t fall too far from the diseased tree.
imagine how that “HES NOT EATING” went over with people who dont actually have enough to eat.
brainless republicans cant win at anything anymore because the lying genie is out of the bottle at fox and america is bored with all the bobble-head nodding of the misfits on their channel.
its over, turn out the lights when you leave.

Of all the political hit job books that have been published about the Trump admin dumpster fire, this is one I might actually buy.

Vanity Fair excerpts will suffice.

People who read might buy this book, Karen, so that would exclude you. Hang it up.

I will Baron.
And you’re right, there is a reason she is no longer in office. Because Republicans cannot have any disagreement about their Dear Leader so they censured and primaried her to keep the apparatchiks in line.

Intermittent fasting would be good for the morbidly obese Trump. Wait… forget it. Keep inhaling the cheese burgers, piggy.

Dear Liz,

Dear Clown (with absolutely nothing to lose),
Eat shit, Barren or what ever you’re calling yourself today, $hit? Oh how quaint.

I’ll be willing to bet it does better than MTG’s book. Of course, I would imagine few of MTG’s constituents can actually read.

Because Republicans have to be in complete lockstep in their adulation of Trump.

And another war criminal dead at 100. Bye. And Liz, what about your father? Another war criminal. Funerals only right wing neo cons will attend.

Respect for Liz. Her current trajectory reflects a new legitimacy one seldom sees in her party.

It’s so refreshing to see Queerty promoting a women who belongs to a party who has done nothing but attack the LGBTQ+ Community.
Way to go!
Maybe Queerty can get Casey DeSantis to be a guest editor or maybe they could get George Santos to write a daily column.

True. She’s always bothered me. And her mother was annoying, too. As are all Republican women. The rotten apples don’t fall too far from the diseased tree.
