Liz Cheney criticizes Trump for gun-filled threat against her
Liz Cheney criticized Donald Trump for his recent comments suggesting she should face gunfire. Trump called her a "radical war hawk" and implied she should be in a dangerous situation. Cheney labeled his remarks as authoritarian threats against free speech. Cheney stated that such threats are how dictators undermine free nations. She emphasized that the country should not be led by someone she described as "petty" and "unstable." Many former Trump allies also condemned his comments, calling them unacceptable.
