A recent campaign rally showcased Donald Trump’s unfiltered criticism of Liz Cheney, raising eyebrows with his comments on her potential for facing extreme threats.
While appearing in Glendale, Arizona, alongside former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Trump labeled Cheney a “dumb war hawk” and made a provocative remark about her being targeted.
Trump’s Sharp Remarks
“Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her,” Trump suggested, continuing, “You know, when the guns are trained on her face.”
His remarks took a particularly pointed turn after he mentioned Cheney’s father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, dismissing her capabilities by stating, “I don’t blame him for sticking with his daughter.
But his daughter’s a very dumb individual, very dumb.”
This was not an isolated incident; Trump has consistently targeted Cheney since she joined Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail.
He further branded her a “warmonger” during a rally in Michigan, claiming she wants to invade multiple countries in the Muslim world.
Cheney’s Stance
At a recent rally, Cheney took a humorous approach in defending her political choices, stating, “I was a Republican even before Donald Trump started spray tanning. I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”
She acknowledged potential policy disagreements with Harris but emphasized her commitment to the principles that guided her father, suggesting they are more aligned with effective leadership than Trump’s approach.
Cheney highlighted the significance of the upcoming election, asserting, “It’s not about party; it’s about right and wrong.”
This sentiment reflects her experiences and the heavy toll of her decisions since losing her congressional seat, primarily due to her stance on the January 6 insurrection.
Reflections on January 6
Voicing her thoughts on the Capitol attack, Cheney has shared insights on what Trump’s aides relayed to her during that tumultuous time.
At a joint appearance with Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin, she recalled a chilling moment when Trump was informed that a civilian had been shot amid the chaos.
“Donald Trump put the note down on the table in front of him, continued to watch the attack on television, and still refused to tell the mob to leave the Capitol,” she recounted.
Highlighting the moral implications of his actions, Cheney remarked, “That is depravity, and we must never become numb to it.”
Harris has praised Cheney for her courage in speaking out against the violence and the hostile rhetoric that has arisen since January 6, acknowledging the support she has received from fellow Republicans.
Looking Ahead
With the election fast approaching, the battle lines are clearly drawn.
Cheney stands firm against Trump, advocating for what she believes is right, despite the inherent risks.
The dynamic between these two figures underscores the deep divisions within the Republican Party, setting the stage for a heated election season.
