Liz Cheney from Wikipedia--read her book.

On December 5, 2023, Cheney released a memoir, titled Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, in which she recounted her experience before, during, and after January 6, as well as her time serving as Vice Chair of the January 6th Committee, and admonished many of her Republican colleagues, including former House speaker Kevin McCarthy and current speaker Mike Johnson.[159] The book quickly sold out and became a bestseller.[160]
In a speech at the Democracy Summit at Dartmouth College on January 5, Cheney urged voters to reject Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee in the 2024 election, saying, "Show the world that we will defeat the plague of cowardice sweeping through the Republican Party."[161] The next day, Cheney posted a tweet, criticizing comments by Trump on the American Civil War, in which he said, "I'm so attracted to seeing it, so many mistakes were made...There was something that could've been negotiated."[162] Cheney wrote, "Question for members of the GOP—the party of Lincoln—who have endorsed Donald Trump: How can you possibly defend this?"[163]
