CNN anchor challenges Republican over Trump's violent rhetoric towards Liz Cheney

CNN anchor Jim Acosta confronted Rep. Tim Burchett over Donald Trump's recent comment suggesting former Rep. Liz Cheney should face "nine barrels." Acosta argued this language implied a firing squad, questioning why Republicans do not condemn such rhetoric. Burchett defended Trump, claiming the remark was about military accountability, not a call for violence. He stated that Trump meant to criticize lawmakers who advocate for war without serving themselves. Despite Burchett's defense, Acosta remained critical, emphasizing the seriousness of Trump's words. He expressed disbelief that Burchett could dismiss the violent imagery associated with the comment.
