Trump says ‘let’s put Liz Cheney with a rifle taking pictures at her face’ throughout marketing campaign occasion with Tucker Carlson
Donald Trump wondered how Liz Cheney would feel with ‘guns trained on 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’s a radical war hawk,’ Trump began. ‘Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay, let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.’
Trump had mentioned Liz Cheney’s father, former GOP Vice President Dick Cheney, before he unleashed the diatribe.
‘I don’t blame him for sticking with his daughter. But his daughter’s a very dumb individual, very dumb,’ Trump said.

‘You know they’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, oh gee, well let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy,” Trump said.
Harris’ campaign quickly responded by posting Trump’s comments on X, causing outrage on social media.
Trump’s campaign responded that he ‘was talking about how Liz Cheney wants to send America’s sons and daughters to fight in wars despite never being in a war herself.’
The remark from Trump was just his latest attack on Cheney, a former Republican member of Congress, since she joined Kamala Harris on the campaign trail.
Back in March, Trump called for Cheney to be jailed over her role role in investigating the January 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 select January 6 House committee.

Cheney is just one of multiple Republicans who have been out campaigning for Harris
After recent appearance at a Harris rally in Michigan, Trump called Cheney a ‘warmonger,’ claiming she wants to invade ‘practically every Muslim country.’
‘Kamala is campaigning with Muslim-hating warmonger, Liz Cheney, who wants to invade practically every Muslim country on the planet. And let me tell you the Muslims of our country, they see it, and they know it,” Trump said at a rally in Michigan.
Cheney is just one of multiple anti-Trump Republicans who have been out campaigning for Harris ahead of the election.
‘I was a Republican even before Donald Trump started spray tanning,’ Cheney joked at an October 3 event in Wisconsin. ‘I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.’
She has noted that she likely disagrees on some policy matters but said she has the right principals that guided her dad and should be in the White House over Trump.
‘I think that we are facing a choice in this election. It’s not about party, it’s about about right and wrong,’ Cheney said during an October 21 appearance with Harris.
Cheney has become a fierce advocate for Harris on the campaign trail
Cheney lost her seat in Congress after becoming one of only two GOP members of the January 6 committee.
She has spoken on the campaign trail about the attack on the Capitol and what Trump’s closest aides told her about the tragic events of that day.
‘They said while the attack on our capitol was happening Donald Trump was handed a note informing him that a civilian had been shot at the door of the chamber of the United States of Representatives,’ Cheney recalled during an appearance with Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin.
‘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.’
‘That is depravity and we must never become numb to it,’ she said.
Harris has praised Cheney for her ‘extraordinary courage’ for speaking out post January 6 despite what she called the ‘undercurrent that is violent in terms of the language and the tenor.’
‘I’ve seen Republicans come up to her and from my vantage point, she’s not alone,’ Harris said.
