5. Liz Cheney did and look what happened to her. She lost her seat and TFG is still threatening her

I've got her book and she gives details about what led up to January 6th, the horror of that day and the follow up. Those who actually experienced that day are now denying it, like Rep. Andrew Clyde who was photographed on January 6th barricading the doors against the violent insurrectionists who now insists that day was "a normal tourist visit." (Even though the Capitol was closed to tourists due to Covid.)

Liz Cheney said that if the (second) impeachment vote was anonymous then the yes votes would have been overwhelming, but there was the fear of violence towards House members as well as being primaried, another of TFG's retribution threats. Of the 10 House members who voted yes on impeachment, only 2 were reelected. And that includes Liz Cheney who was a member of House leadership, who lost her seat to an election denier.
