The Political Debate About Donald Trump and Vice President Liam Cheney: Why he is Running for the Presidency of the House of Representatives
Former President Donald Trump lashed out against former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney in Arizona on Thursday, using violent language and insults to describe the most prominent Republican supporter of his opponent, Vice President Harris.
Trump said Cheney was a “radical war hawk” who wanted to keep American troops in Iraq and Syria, which he said took the lives of too many young Americans and was too expensive.
“Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her,” Trump said to Carlson. “Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”
“You know they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’”
Trump has frequently discussed revenge and other grievances while on the campaign trail, saying that his opponents were the enemy from within and suggesting the military could handle any disruptions from his opponents.
Cheney thinks Trump is a danger to the country, she doesn’t believe in conservative principles, and that’s why she is campaigning with Harris.
During his long and meandering answer to Carlson, Trump also heaped scorn on his former national security adviser John Bolton for his trademark moustache. Bolton has said he will not support Trump in this election, though he has not endorsed Harris.
