GOP Congressman Called Donald Trump ‘Orange Jesus,’ According to Rep. Liz Cheney

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) recalls another House member calling former President Donald Trump “Orange Jesus” in her new book, Oath and Honor.

According to Cheney, House members were encouraged to sign onto electoral vote objection sheets while in the cloakroom during the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2029.

She writes that there was a sheet for each state that GOP members were against.

“Among them was Republican Congressman Mark Green of Tennessee,” she wrote. “As he moved down the line, signing his name to the pieces of paper, Green said sheepishly, to no one in particular, ‘The things we do for the Orange Jesus.'”

A spokesperson for Green argued that Cheney’s recollection was “false.”

“She and her publishers would know this had they reached out to Rep. Green or his office,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “There was a large crowd in the cloakroom that day and Congressman Green unequivocally denies making this comment.”

In her book, which will be released on December 5, Cheney also claims that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) told her Trump knew he had lost the 2020 presidential election.

“He knows it’s over,” McCarthy reportedly told Cheney after speaking with Trump two days after the election.

“He needs to go through all the stages of grief,” he added.
