Trump suggests ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney should have guns ‘trained on her face’
Donald Trump, escalating the violent language he’s been using to target his political opponents, suggested guns be turned on former representative Liz Cheney, one of his more prominent intra-party critics.
“She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK?” the former president said in a conversation with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson at a campaign event in Arizona Thursday night.
“Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”
Carlson had asked Trump whether it is strange to see Cheney campaign against him. The former Wyoming congresswoman has been, perhaps, one of the most vocally opposed Republicans to another Trump presidency and has endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris.
Trump labelled Cheney “a deranged person,” and hurled other insults at her, calling her “very dumb,” a “stupid person” and “the moron.”
She responded to Trump’s comments overnight, writing on X: “This is how dictators destroy free nations.”
This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. <a href=«https://twitter.com/hashtag/Womenwillnotbesilenced?src=hash&ref_src=» https:>#Womenwillnotbesilenced
