Trump defends 'war hawk' remark on Liz Cheney, calls it a media hoax

Former President Donald Trump criticized the media on Saturday for misrepresenting his comments about Liz Cheney. He referred to her as a "radical war hawk" during an event with Tucker Carlson, which some interpreted as a call for violence. Trump defended his remarks, claiming the media was distorting his words. He stated that he was criticizing Cheney's views on military intervention, not inciting violence against her. He further attacked Cheney, comparing her unfavorably to her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, and reiterated his belief that their actions in the Middle East were misguided and costly.
