Trump defends comments on Cheney's war readiness after Democratic criticism
Former President Trump clarified his comments about Liz Cheney, stating she lacks the "guts" to fight in a war. This follows backlash from Democrats after he referred to her as a "war hawk" and suggested she would not handle combat well. Trump's remarks, made during a campaign event, included a controversial statement about Cheney facing gunfire. He defended his position on social media, criticizing her for advocating military action while being distant from the realities of war. Cheney responded by accusing Trump of using threats to silence dissent, calling his rhetoric dangerous. She has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president and is campaigning alongside her.
