Trump's controversial remark about Cheney sparks debate as GOP lawmaker struggles to defend him

At a recent campaign event, Donald Trump criticized former Rep. Liz Cheney, calling her a “radical war hawk” and making a controversial remark about her facing a firing squad. This comment drew attention for its violent imagery. On CNN, Rep. Tim Burchett attempted to defend Trump but struggled to address the implications of the remark. He acknowledged confusion over the “nine barrels” comment and shifted focus to Cheney's family's involvement in war profits. Burchett's defense faltered further when questioned about Trump's past deferment from the Vietnam War. He noted that many did not serve, but his responses did not clarify Trump's comments or their context.
