I have Liz Cheney's book, listened to it more than once in my car. She goes into detail about the events leading up to January 6th and the horror they experienced on that day, let alone what happened to law enforcement defending the Capitol. She said that the outrage was overwhelming, but when it came to voting yes on the impeachment vote, too many in the House were too afraid to vote yes, afraid of attacks on themselves and their families and threats of being primaried. Only 10 House members voted yes and only 2 of them were reelected. She said that if it had been an anonymous vote, the yes votes would have been overwhelming.
