In explosive revelations from her upcoming book, ‘Oath and Honor,’ Liz Cheney sheds light on a visit by former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy to Mar-a-Lago just three weeks after the January 6 insurrection.
Cheney contends that McCarthy justified his secret trip by expressing concern for Donald Trump’s mental state, claiming the ex-president was depressed and not eating.
Liz Cheney’s Explosive Revelations
These revelations offer a scathing critique of the Trump-era Republican Party, with Cheney accusing her former colleagues of cowardice and being enablers and collaborators.
In her book, Cheney pulls no punches in describing what she sees as the moral compromise of the Trump-era Republican Party. She accuses her colleagues of being willing to “violate their oath to the Constitution out of political expediency and loyalty” to Trump, particularly in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
The former Wyoming congresswoman singles out Kevin McCarthy, labeling his path as “craven” for embracing the twice-impeached ex-president. One of the most striking revelations in Cheney’s book is McCarthy’s clandestine visit to Mar-a-Lago shortly after publicly acknowledging Trump’s responsibility for inciting the Capitol riots. Cheney expresses her shock upon learning of the secret trip, questioning McCarthy’s motives.
According to her account, McCarthy claimed he went to Mar-a-Lago because Trump was “not eating” and “really depressed.” Cheney’s response reflects the deepening divide within the Republican Party during this period.

McCarthy’s Secret Mar-a-Lago Visit
The book details a conversation between Cheney and McCarthy, where she challenges the rationale behind the visit. In response to McCarthy’s assertion that he went to Mar-a-Lago out of concern for Trump’s well-being, Cheney asks pointedly, “You went to Mar-a-Lago because Trump’s not eating?” McCarthy reportedly responds in the affirmative, adding that Trump is “really depressed.”
This exchange highlights the delicate balance McCarthy faced between political considerations and personal allegiance to Trump.
Cheney further details the reactions of other GOP lawmakers to McCarthy’s secret visit, describing them as “angry and disgusted.” Drawing a vivid comparison, she likens the infamous photo of Trump and McCarthy to a scene from the movie Jerry Maguire, evoking the iconic “you complete me” line.
This imagery underscores the complex dynamics at play within the Republican Party during this turbulent period. As Liz Cheney unveils shocking revelations in “Oath and Honor,” the book promises to deepen the fractures within the Republican Party.
McCarthy’s secret visit to Mar-a-Lago, ostensibly driven by concerns for Trump’s mental well-being, becomes a focal point in Cheney’s scathing critique of the GOP’s loyalty to the ex-president.
The book’s revelations may well contribute to the ongoing debate over the future direction of the Republican Party, as it grapples with its identity in the post-Trump era.
