Liz Cheney blasts Trump on X for his ‘war hawk’ comment

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney criticized Trump on X, formerly Twitter, after calling him a “war hawk” and saying guns should be “pointed in his face.”

“This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten with death those who speak against them. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel and unstable man who wants to be a tyrant,” Cheney wrote on X with the hashtags #Womenwillnotbesilenced and #VoteKamala.

Trump made the comments during an interview with former Fox host Tucker Carlson at an event in Glendale, Arizona. He said she wanted to keep American troops in Syria and Iraq.

“She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her there with a nine-barreled shotgun shooting at her, okay? “, he said. “Let’s see how she feels, you know, when the guns are pointed in her face.”

Trump’s derogatory rhetoric toward his political opponents has intensified in the run-up to the November 5 general election – with Cheney’s comments being the latest. He is previously called his opponents “trash” and “humane” foam.”

Cheney, one of Trump’s most vocal critics, has supported Vice President Kamala Harris and campaigned with her in recent weeks. She previously served as vice chair of the now-disbanded House Select Committee investigating the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and condemned the former president’s actions that day.

Former President Donald Trump is involved in four criminal casesbut the most important verdict regarding his legal future could be delivered on Tuesday election day. If he wins, all of his charges could be dropped or postponed for at least four years. If he loses, he faces a quick conviction in one case and a trial in the other three.

If Trump were not running for president, his legal troubles would be inevitable. It is currently planned to be convicted on November 26 on 34 counts in his hush money case in New York. Two trials looming one in federal court in Washington, D.C. and one in Georgia state court under accusations he tried to steal the 2020 election. In Florida, a federal judge appointed by Trump rejected accusations that Trump mishandled classified documents after leaving the White House. But this reprieve could be temporary, since prosecutors have appealed the decision.
