Former Rep. Liz Cheney responds to Trump’s violent speeches about her and compares him to an autocrat

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney responded to former President Donald Trump’s attacks on her in an interview Monday on ABC’s “The View,” including a remark he made suggesting she should “have guns pointed in his face.”

“He knows what he’s doing,” Cheney said. “He knows this is a threat aimed at intimidation. Obviously intimidation is not going to work.”

Cheney highlighted Trump’s history of violent rhetoric, including how he responded to the Jan. 6 violence.

“For over three hours, he watched police officers being brutally beaten. He was told the vice president had been evacuated, and he said, ‘So what?'” Cheney said. “People were rushing to him, begging him, ‘Tell the crowd to leave,’ and he didn’t.”

“This level of depravity, he knows he has no defense against it, and he knows that the American people will no longer entrust power to someone who would do something that cruel,” she said. continued. “And so because he can’t answer that, he tries to change the subject, he tries to threaten. That’s what autocrats do to try to silence their political opponents.”
