newsweek.com

Donald Trump's recent comments about Liz Cheney during an interview with Tucker Carlson have drawn sharp criticism from former aides. Trump labeled Cheney a "radical war hawk" and made provocative remarks about her, which some allies described as "dangerous and escalatory." Former Trump administration officials, including Alyssa Farah Griffin, condemned Trump's rhetoric, calling it reckless and urging Republican leaders to denounce it. Cheney herself responded, stating that such threats are how dictators undermine free nations. Trump's campaign defended his remarks, claiming they were aimed at warmongers in Washington. However, former officials like Miles Taylor and Stephanie Grisham expressed concern, questioning the appropriateness of Trump's comments and calling for accountability among Republican candidates.
