Joe Scarborough criticizes Trump for violent remark about Liz Cheney

Joe Scarborough criticized Donald Trump for suggesting Liz Cheney should be shot for opposing his actions during the January 6 Capitol riot. Scarborough called Cheney a "conservative's conservative" and condemned Trump's treatment of her as an "enemy of the state." On his show, Scarborough detailed the violence of the Capitol riot and compared Trump's remarks about Cheney to his past comments about General Mark Milley. He emphasized that Cheney's objections to Trump's handling of the riots were rooted in her conservative values. In response, the Trump campaign dismissed reports of his comments as "malicious or dumb," claiming he was referring to a combat zone. They argued that Cheney and Kamala Harris would lead the U.S. into further conflict.
