Liz Cheney, Republican, far to the right
Her view-points political way out of sight
On most every issue substantial we face
Her stated positions I just can’t embrace
However, her feelings concerning D. Trump,
Who’s hell bent for President out on the stump,
That under no circumstance should he get in
Which Trump full intends whether looses or wins
Her book, Oath and Honor, came out recently
It details how Congressmen, all GOP,
Abetted Trump’s efforts to stay, though he lost
And recounts the damage, the spectrum of costs
Her writing is frank, punches she doesn’t pull
Her insights are deep, she is nobody’s fool
Her goal in this writing’s to wake up the nation
That Trump as lead candidate’s no aberration
That if he’s elected, democracy dies
He’ll be a dictator, which he’ll not disguise
He as our President’s truly unfit
Her book says it all, I learned much reading it

I may not agree with her other ideals as a republican. However, Liz Cheney, a graduate of Colorado College, has been notably critical of former President Donald Trump, which I can relate to especially in relation to the events surrounding the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol (Wikipedia, 2023). Her book, “Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning,” provides a detailed narrative of these events and her perspective as a leading Republican figure who opposed Trump’s actions and narratives about the 2020 presidential election (Barnes & Noble, 2023; LitHub, 2023).
