Donald Trump wondered how Liz Cheney would feel with “guns pointed in her face” while speaking at a campaign event just days before the election.
Trump appeared in Glendale, Arizona, with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday night when he called Cheney a “dumb war hawk” and suggested she face a firing squad.
“She is a radical war hawk,” Trump began. ‘Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels firing at her, okay, let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when guns are pointed in his face.
Trump had mentioned Liz Cheney’s father, former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney, before unleashing the tirade.
‘I don’t blame him for staying with his daughter. But your daughter is a very dumb, very dumb person,” Trump said.
“She’s a radical war hawk,” Trump began before speculating about a possible firing squad.
Trump appeared in Glendale, Arizona with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
“You know everyone’s a war hawk when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, oh wow, well, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the enemy’s mouth,” Trump said.
The Harris campaign quickly responded by publishing Trump’s comments about X, sparking outrage on social media.
The Trump campaign responded that he was “talking about how Liz Cheney wants to send America’s sons and daughters to fight wars even though she herself has never been in a war.”
Trump’s comment was just his latest attack on Cheney, a former Republican member of Congress, since joining Kamala Harris on the campaign trail.
In March, Trump called for Cheney to be jailed for her role in the investigation of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that Cheney should “go to jail along with the rest” of the Jan. 6 House select committee.
Cheney joined Harris on the campaign trail, saying Trump ‘unfit to lead’
Cheney is just one of multiple Republicans who have been campaigning for Harris.
After a recent appearance at a Harris rally in Michigan, Trump called Cheney a “warmonger,” claiming she wants to invade “virtually every Muslim country.”
‘Kamala is campaigning with Muslim-hating warmonger Liz Cheney, who wants to invade virtually every Muslim country on the planet. And let me tell you, the Muslims of our country see it and know it,” Trump said at a rally in Michigan.
Cheney is just one of multiple anti-Trump Republicans who have been campaigning for Harris ahead of the election.
“I was a Republican even before Donald Trump started spray tanning,” Cheney joked at an Oct. 3 event in Wisconsin. “I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”
He has noted that he probably disagrees on some political issues, but said he has the right principles that guided his father and should be in the White House before Trump.
‘I think we face a choice in this election. It’s not about the party, it’s about the good and the bad,” Cheney said during an appearance with Harris on Oct. 21.
Cheney has become a fierce supporter of Harris on the campaign trail.
Cheney lost her congressional seat after becoming one of only two Republican members of the January 6 committee.
During the election campaign, he spoke about the attack on the Capitol and what Trump’s closest associates told him about the tragic events of that day.
‘They said that while the attack on our Capitol was happening, Donald Trump was given a note informing him that a civilian had been shot outside the United States House of Representatives,’ Cheney recalled during an appearance with Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin . .
“Donald Trump left the note on the table in front of him, continued watching the attack on television, and still refused to tell the mob to leave the Capitol.”
“That is depravity and we should never become desensitized to it,” he said.
Harris has praised Cheney for her “extraordinary courage” in speaking out after January 6 despite what she called “theundercurrent that is violent in terms of language and tenor.’
“I’ve seen Republicans reach out to her, and in my view, she’s not alone,” Harris said.
