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." Scarborough detailed the violence of the Capitol riot, highlighting Trump's inaction during the event. He emphasized that Cheney's objections to Trump's behavior should not make her a target for threats. Trump's campaign later downplayed his remarks, claiming he was speaking metaphorically about combat zones. They dismissed reports of him suggesting Cheney face a "firing squad" as "malicious or dumb."
