Liz Cheney was never going to go quietly. Now her new book rips the GOP several new ones as she excoriates them for their lack of principles and backbone. My summary of key revelations in “Oath and Honor” in today’s piece. https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/liz-cheney-has-warned-us-will-we?r=1zr8b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=we
Liz Cheney Has Warned Us. Will We Listen?

Her new book is a compelling insider’s account of political cowardice and a lack of any moral compass within the GOP

The Status Kuo

@jaykuo

Really hard to be bowled over by her ethical backbone. Where was she when her dad was taking us to war?

@jaykuo Who's this "We" listed in the headline? The ones who need to listen have already shown that they won't... (see, oh, Jan 6...), we all saw this, but some won't see it...

@jaykuo

Liz Cheney is an interesting watch. On one hand, she's got the cunning to throw some hefty petards as the party fully leaves her, but on the other hand, who knows? She could come out of this standing, as one of the few surviving pols left to rebuild a new conservative party.

@jaykuo sadly, one stark difference between most of the Republicans I know and their non-Republicans counterparts is how few books they read.

This just seems like LC communicating to the wrong audience.

@jaykuo

Honor? Principles? She supported trump to begin with--voted for his agenda all the time!

Let's not forget the millions of lives she harmed by her votes, which are far more important than a book.

@jaykuo lol the only "we" who is going to receive this message are the people who knew all this stuff already.

when will THEY listen?

@jaykuo

i'm not going to 'listen' to anyone who claims that democrats "murder babies," which is something she said very recently.

the republican party HAS NO CONSCIENCE, no principles, no heroes... i wish ppl would stop pretending.

@jaykuo Lack of principles has to be applied to herself, first, last and all between. She voted for all of the great tRumpkin's horrendous policies. She is not a credible person until she apologizes for the damage she did to this country and the world.
@jaykuo
Regardless of her being correct on this one thing, she's still an awful human who actively campaigns against queer rights, in spite of the fact that she's got a lesbian sister.
@jaykuo I'm sorry...when did the GOP as a whole ever have a moral compass? Aside from Eisenhower, who would now be considered an extreme leftist, their compass seems to always have been pointed to "power."
@jaykuo @georgetakei A Republican with principles and integrity. In an alternate universe, most of the GOP representatives would be like her.
@jaykuo and we know what great readers these people are… they can’t even understand the one book they claim to be devoted to (the Bible)
@jaykuo I’m loving the book …. I knew it was bad, now I know how bad. My oath I took when joining the military years and years ago had no expiration date. Rep. Cheney saw her oath the same way - we need more like her, not less! She is a true patriot.
