Memoir & BiographyPolitics & Power

Before anything else, Liz Cheney tells you that Trump must never return to the White House or any position of public trust. As vice chair of the January 6 committee, she carries you from Election Day 2020 through the televised hearings, and she ends by urging voters of both parties to keep him out.

Core ideas
  • Named enablers: Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson and House Freedom Caucus members spread false claims about the election, in her account.
  • The reversals: Colleagues who condemned Trump right after the attack changed course under political pressure, while others kept their oaths.
  • The cost: She voted to impeach Trump, witnessed the attack as a sitting member, and lost her 2022 primary over her stand against him.
