CNN reports:
Throughout “Oath and Honor,” Liz Cheney describes how she saw her Republican colleagues go from condemning Trump to falling back in line and supporting his claims of election fraud. Cheney reveals for the first time that McCarthy told her just two days after Election Day that he had talked to Trump and that Trump acknowledged he had lost.
“He knows it’s over,” McCarthy said. “He needs to go through all the stages of grief.” Cheney writes that she thought to herself, those stages of grief “seemed to involve tweeting in all caps.” When he went on Fox News that same day and said, “President Trump won this election,” Cheney writes, “McCarthy knew that what he was saying was not true.”

“This is yet another attempt to make [Trump] happy … whether it’s going down to Mar-a-Lago to make sure that he’s being fed, apparently, to voting on impeachment.”
