Former President Donald Trump suggested that former Rep. Liz Cheney should be sent to a war zone during a recent event, calling her a "radical war hawk." He criticized her stance on military action, implying she would change her views in a dangerous situation. Cheney responded by interpreting Trump's remarks as a death threat, stating that such comments threaten democracy. She emphasized the dangers of allowing a "vindictive" leader to remain in power. The Trump campaign defended his comments, arguing they were misrepresented. Supporters claimed Trump was criticizing Cheney's war advocacy rather than calling for violence against her. Cheney has been a prominent critic of Trump and has aligned herself with Vice President Kamala Harris.
