Liz Cheney in her new book said some in the Freedom Caucus frowned on a personal June 2020 tweet.
Cheney in the tweet featured her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, wearing a mask.
Mask-wearing became a polarizing subject among conservatives even during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2020, during the earliest stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, mask-wearing was an essential way of life for millions of Americans, especially among those who were older or immunocompromised.
