Trump criticizes Liz Cheney with violent rhetoric at Arizona event
npr.org —
Former President Donald Trump criticized Liz Cheney during an event in Arizona, using violent language to describe her support for U.S. military involvement in the Middle East. He labeled her a "radical war hawk" and suggested she should experience the dangers of war firsthand. Trump's comments included a graphic remark about Cheney facing gunfire, reflecting his ongoing grievances against political opponents. He has previously accused her of treason and has expressed a desire for military intervention against domestic critics. Cheney, who has campaigned with Vice President Harris, believes Trump poses a threat to the country. Harris' campaign quickly condemned Trump's remarks, while Trump's team dismissed the backlash as a "hoax."
