During an onstage conversation with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Ariz., Trump launched into a meandering diatribe against Cheney, who was one of only two Republicans on the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 riot. Trump categorized Cheney as a radical war hawk wanting to sustain an American military presence overseas, claiming this unnecessary prolongation results in the loss of young American lives and excessive financial costs.
Trump made a notably violent comment about Liz Cheney’s stance on military intervention, suggesting, 'Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her,' underlining his disdain for her political ideologies and advocating for a more aggressive approach to military engagement.
In response to Trump's comments, Cheney said, 'These remarks demonstrate exactly why I decided to support Vice President Harris rather than him,' emphasizing her belief that Trump poses a danger to the nation and moves away from traditional conservative values.
The controversy surrounding Trump's comments saw his campaign labeling it a 'hoax', which further reflects the contentious political climate and deep divisions within the Republican Party, especially regarding support for Trump and anti-Trump sentiments.
